American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Roger L. owned a home in Strum, WI that he was using as an income property. He decided that he wanted to sell the house, so he didn’t have to deal with renting it out anymore. He knew that before he could put it on the market, he would have to make some repairs to the home, including repairing the foundation. He had two cracked walls in his basement, one of which had started bowing inward. Over the years he noticed it gradually getting worse and worse and he decided it was time to call American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions and get a FREE estimate.

One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went onsite to inspect his walls and develop the right solution for his specific needs. Rick concluded that the best repair option would be to install wall anchors, and Roger agreed. A couple of weeks later, our production crew arrived at the home to start the installation. They drilled small holes through the damaged block foundation and inserted long metal rods through the wall and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured both ends of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. Once the anchors were tightened, the walls began to straighten and stabilize. The anchors should continue to be tightened over to time to continuously improve the strength of the foundation.

Joe E. of Strum, WI had uneven concrete throughout his patio, making him think about the value of his home. He saw American Waterworks on television, so he decided to give our office a call to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus. Dustin went to his home, examined the concrete, and came up with a solution with our concrete repair products. Joe was confident with Dustin's proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew member began the project by injected 120 pounds of our PolyLevel, which is a special foam that gets injected underneath the concrete, fills the voids, and stabilizes the concrete surface. The advantages of our PolyLevel includes its quick installation and cure time, it is adjustable for loads of all sizes, and it is a non-invasive installation. Next, our team applied 176 feet of our NexusPro over the cracks. Our NexusPro is a long-lasting solution that prevents moisture from seeping into the soil beneath. Joe was happy with the repairs and loved the new view of his patio!

Joe E. of Strum, WI had water leaking into his crawl space, causing mold and water moisture problems. He saw an American Waterworks commercial on television regarding crawl space waterproofing, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus. Dustin went to his home, inspected his crawl space, and came up with a solution that fit his needs. He was confident in Dustin's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by installing 2,175 square feet of drainage matting. The purpose for the drainage matting is to provide extra durability and larger drain channels to handle the job. It directs the water that is flooding the crawl space to the perimeter crawl space drain and the sump pump system. Next, our team installed 3,011 square feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to encapsulate the crawl space. This moisture barrier is the most crucial component of crawl space waterproofing. By sealing the crawl space, homeowners keep away odors, termites, cockroaches, ants, crickets, rats, and many other pests. 

Joe was very satisfied with the repairs and could not believe the transformation! 

Greg J. of Strum, WI had a bowing foundation wall in his old farm home and it was in need of reinforcement. He came across an American Waterworks commercial on television, so he called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin. Dustin went to Greg's home, carefully inspected his foundation wall, and proposed our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve a variety of different problems. Greg was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew installed seven of our wall anchors to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall back to its natural position. This anchor-rod installation involves soil removal, backfill, and minimal disturbance to the home. Greg was happy with the work and had a great experience with our team from start to finish.

Shonna L. in Rollingstone, MN had water seeping into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. Her basement had become a damp, musty and unlivable space. She was tired of dealing with a wet basement, so she started to research waterproofing contactors in her area. She found the American Waterworks’ website and was impressed by our extensive waterproofing knowledge. She had us out to her home to look at her basement and provide her with a free estimate. After inspecting her basement, our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, was able to develop a thorough and unique plan to waterproof her basement. She was pleased with his proposal, so they set a date for our production crew to install the waterproofing system.

Our production team started the installation by removing the old sump pump and the concrete around the perimeter of her basement where the WaterGuard drainage system needed to be laid. They installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly guides the water leaking into her basement to the sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Shonna can rest easy knowing her basement will always be protected. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.
