American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Tracy, MN, homeowner was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned that his neighbor had his home tested and mitigated for dangerous radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas, so he decided to find a radon specialist in Minnesota close to Tracy. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, the first article of business was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test records radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, delivering the average radon level after the test. Tony explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). He went on to say that, should the levels return higher than normal, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system, explaining that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He finished by saying that when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with Tony's recommendation but decided to wait until the test came back to make a decision. 48 hours later, Tony was back at the home to read the results, which came back well above 4 pCi/L. The homeowner and Tony worked together to find the best installation date. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, led his team through a flawless radon mitigation system installation, successfully restoring the customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home!

A homeowner in Cooperstown, ND had a settling foundation, causing them to worry about the stability and structure of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and drew up a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. Our Design Specialist proposed our Helical Pier System, which is a system that creates a solid supporting base that transfers the weight of the house downwards to strong supporting soils. The homeowner was confident in the solution and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by removing the oil from where the piers were going to get installed. Then, our team mechanically screwed the helical pier sections into the soil. Once the piers met their proper depths, our team positioned the brackets below and against the foundation footing. The weight of the house was then transferred through the helical piers to the compact soil. To complete the project, our team ensured their workspace was neater than when they found it.

A male homeowner in Cooperstown, ND had cracked foundation walls in his basement, and he wanted to get them fixed before they cracked any further. He knew of our Design Specialist, Richie, so they discussed some possible solutions with each other, and Richie proposed our Foundation Repair Wall Anchor System. The homeowner got all of his questions answered about the product, its functions, etc., so he signed Richie's proposal and got a date on his schedule for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began the anchor installation by digging holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our crew inserted a long, metal rod to each hole beyond the foundation. Once each anchor is connected to the metal rod, the pressure is clamped, which straightens the wall back into its original position. Our wall anchors can be installed year-round, they have a 25-year warranty, it provides very little damage to the home, and does not damage interior floors. To complete the installation, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard space was neater than when they found it. The homeowner was happy with the work that was completed and had a great experience!
