Leaking Basement Waterproofed in Independence, WI

Loretta K. of Independence, WI had water seeping through her basement cracks. She did some research on our website and filled out our FREE Estimate online form. Our Design Specialist, Charles Haldeman, went to her home to inspect the water problem and come up with a solution. Loretta was comfortable with his proposal, so she set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team started the installation by cutting out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 86 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement walls, which is made to prevent mold and humidity problems and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain. Lastly, Dylon and his installed out SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump in the corner. Our sump pumps are made to pump water out fast and efficiently while keeping basements dry for many years. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and re-applied new concrete. Loretta was extremely satisfied with the work and her peace of mind is restored! 

Cracked Basement Walls Secured in Strum, WI

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.

Concrete Patio Repaired in Strum, WI

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!

Crawl Space Waterproofing in Strum, WI

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! 

Foundation Repair Contractor in Strum, WI

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.
