American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Lemont B. of Minnesota City, MN had cracks in his foundation wall, making him feel nervous about the structural build and stability of his home. He saw one of our advertisements in the newspaper and called our office line to scheduled a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, went to his home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. After a thorough diagnosis, Lemont was confident in the proposal and presentation so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by digging two holes outside of the foundation wall. From the inside of the basement, our team drilled a long, medal rod from the inside of the wall to each hole beyond the foundation. At the end of each rod, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which are made to stabilize foundation walls and straighten them over time. To complete the job, Raul and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Lemont was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored! 

A Minnesota City, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on her energy bill throughout the summer. She noticed that her AC unit had been continually running, which seemed odd to her. When her bills returned higher than usual, she began to suspect an issue with her crawl space. She began the search for crawl space repairs in Minnesota and eventually found our website. She decided to sign up for our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin L, headed out to the home.

Dustin completed his inspection and found that the humidity in the space was 68.3% RH. Typically, crawl spaces should be within the 50-60% range. Upwards of 60% can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which would become precursors for wood rot. Dustin informed the homeowner that we could use several of our products to address the issue. First, Dustin wanted to use CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets adhered directly to to the unfinished walls of the crawl space. It works to trap water entering through the walls, draining it downward to the drainage matting and perimeter drains if applicable. If the CleanSpace had been installed flush with the ground of the space, trapped water wouldn't be able to flow to a disposal site. Drainage matting fis a dimpled layer of plastic that gives water flooding into the space a channel underneath the CleanSpace. In addition to these two products, Dustin recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier. Even a basement with an effective waterproofing system can still develop moisture and mold problems and may feel damp. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% RH. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job to be completed several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus M, and his team installed 660 sqft of CleanSpace, 494 sqft of drainage matting, and 1 AprilAire dehumidifier. Now, our customer can enter the cold months knowing her home is protected from harsh weather conditions!

Brian S. in Fountain City, WI had water coming up through the floor of his crawl space. It was causing high humidity and a musty smell, so he decided to have his crawl space inspected by a professional. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to provide him with a solution. After Mac thoroughly inspected Brian's crawl space, he determined that he would benefit from having his crawl space encapsulated. Brian agreed, so he moved forward with the installation. 

Our crew installed drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the floor of the crawl space and around the support beams. These products work together to keep moisture, pests, and potential mold growth out. They also help reduce Brian's energy bill by making sure energy is not lost through that space. The process took less than a day, and now Brian is confident that his crawl space will remain a dry, healthier and more energy efficient space.

A homeowner in Fountain City, WI, was concerned with the safety of their sidewalk. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner began doing research into various concrete repair companies. The homeowner went to a local Facebook group to ask for any recommendations, several individuals suggested that the homeowner work with us, American Waterworks. After hearing so many referrals, the homeowner decided to go to our website and check out the types of concrete repair services we offer. After further investigation, the homeowner was impressed by our company and decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Mike, one of our Design Specialists. Mike greeted the homeowner and started the evaluation of the concrete. Following his detailed analysis, Mike determined that the sidewalk was sinking. To stop the sinking from continuing, Mike recommended lifting and leveling the concrete sidewalk. The homeowner knew this was the best option for their home, so they decided to follow Mike's suggestions. After receiving the stamp of approval, our Foreman Patrick, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. When they arrived, Patrick and the crew started by inserting the PolyLevel underneath the entire sidewalk and front of the driveway. After the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew shifted their focus to fixing the cracks and bad joints in their concrete. Once the lifting and leveling job was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to assist another customer in accomplishing their concrete goals.

He found American Waterworks pop up in his search and recognized the name from a friend that had also used the services.

Clay had seen similar driveway issues before and knew right away what the solution should be. He suggested PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula to lift the uneven slabs back up, and NexusPro, a silicon-based sealant to close any gaps and cracks. The homeowner trusted that this was a good solution and agreed to move forward with the process. A few weeks later, one of our Foremen, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew arrived at the site to perform the installations. The result was a sleek, crack-free driveway that the homeowner was very pleased with.
