A homeowner's basement in Lime Springs, IA, had flooded after an intense thunderstorm. Frantic to find a solution, the homeowners searched for basement waterproofing options closest to them. Luckily for the homeowner, they came across our Facebook page and knew we were the best choice for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. After Ryan arrived at the home, he started his inspection of the basement. Ryan completed the entire basement walk-through and found many waterproofing issues in the basement. After Ryan alerted the homeowner of his findings, he was able to provide them with a solution. Ryan recommended installing several waterproofing products in the basement to protect it from further intrusion. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations and the plans were finalized by the office. Once approved by the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew. Raul and his crew arrived at the home and started by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the previous sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew tied the TripleSafe Sump Pump into the WaterGuard system. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed and repaired. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners with that peace of mind.
Don in Nashua, IA contacted us regarding a concrete issue at his business. He had two large garage doors on each end of his shop, and the concrete slabs right outside the garage doors had sunken and caused a trip hazard. We sent a Design Specialist out to his shop to inspect the concrete and provide him with a FREE estimate.
Don was impressed with our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so he chose to move forward with the project. Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete slabs and injected the polymer foam. Once the slabs were completely raised, they filled back the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. The sealant protects the concrete and gives it a nice, finished look. Don was thrilled with the results and is glad he chose American Waterworks to repair his concrete!

Our Foreman and his team broke out the pre-existing window and replaced it with our Egress Window, which is designed to provide a safe exit out of the home, more natural light to the basement, and more liveable space. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is a vapor protectant designed to prevent water from seeping into the basement and save money on energy costs. To complete the installation, our Foreman provided the homeowner with a thorough walkthrough of the space and ensured his expectations were met.

GeoLock Anchor Wall SystemA homeowner from Alta Vista, MN had been keeping an eye on their bowing basement wall for a few years when they finally decided it was time to search for a remedy to the problem. After speaking with neighbors and friends, they decided to reach out to American Waterworks to see what they would be looking at. Once they scheduled their FREE, no-obligation estimate they were able to get a date on the calendar for one of our Design Specialists to come out to the home and conduct a thorough walkthrough.
Once the inspection had been completed, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendations as to how to fix the failing wall. He informed the homeowner that the basement could benefit from the use of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. He informed the homeowner that this solution has minimal disturbance of the home, and is designed to permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that after the installation is complete, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation walls to pull them back to their original position.
Our Foreman and his team ended up installing 16 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the space. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without fearing a failing foundation.

Kevin E. in Cochrane, WI realized that after the seasons changed from winter to spring, his driveway had begun to sink. Which was causing an uneven surface from the driveway to his garage. He stopped by the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and spoke with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, about the problem he was having with his concrete. Mac explained our PolyLevel foam injection solution and set up a time to come to his home and do a FREE estimate. Mac developed a plan to inject PolyLevel into multiple areas of the concrete to raise the driveway to be level with the garage.
Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, completed the PolyLevel injection in a couple of hours. Kevin was able to see the transformation right away because our PolyLevel foam only takes about 30 minutes to cure after it is injected. Kevin was pleased that this option was more affordable and faster than traditional concrete repair, all while still being a durable solution.
