American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Ron H. in Elkton, MN had a musty smell coming from his dirt crawl space. He also noticed that it was very humid and he was concerned that energy was being lost through the crawl space. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to his home to inspect his crawl space and develop a solution. We were able to confirm that there was quite a bit of moisture accumulating in his crawl space which was causing the musty smell. We also confirmed that energy was being wasted because his crawl space was not insulated. We presented him with an encapsulation plan and he was pleased with the proposal, so he scheduled a date for the project.

Our production team installed drainage matting along the dirt floor and installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the crawl space. Then, they encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the space from moisture and potential mold growth. Lastly, they placed a SaniDry dehumidifier in the crawl space to control the humidity. The process took a couple of days to complete, but Ron now has a bright, clean and healthy crawl space. He is also saving money on his energy bill each month.

A homeowner in Elkton, MN, noticed their sump pump was running slower and making odd noises. Concerned about the status of their sump pump, the homeowner looked for a professional to assist them. Remembering they worked with us in the past, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Romeo, one of our Design Specialists. Romeo arrived and began inspecting their current sump pump. Romeo confirmed that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. After seeing the incredible benefits, the homeowner agreed with Romeo's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dakota, was assigned to complete the job. When Dakota arrived, he began by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump was removed, he put the TripleSafe in its place. Additionally, Dakota installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After the IceGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they have a proper working sump pump. American Waterworks is happy to give their homeowners peace of mind. 

Bridget M. in Racine, MN noticed that her floor had started sagging and realized that it was because her crawl space was not properly supported. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space repair solutions. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to her home to inspect her crawl space and recommend a solution. Bridget was pleased with Dustin’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our crew installed 12 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam in her crawl space to raise the floor back to its original position and provide permanent support. Our SmartJacks are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bridget is confident that she chose the best long-term option to support her crawl space.

Todd H. in Racine, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. He had a stoop that had settled in front of his home, and he was interested in our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solution to repair the concrete. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Todd and evaluate the situation. Todd was happy to learn that our Poly Level option is a faster, more durable, and affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair or replacement. 

Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, drilled penny-sized holes into the concrete stoop where it needed to be raised. He then injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was raised and leveled. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The process was non-invasive, and it only took a couple of hours. Now Todd will be able to enjoy a level stoop for years to come!

A homeowner from Racine, MN, was reading a local newspaper one day when he stumbled across a piece on the dangers of radon gas. He had read that radon gas is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. Not wanting his family to unknowingly breathe in the hazardous gas, he decided to find a radon specialist to test his home. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, he began his inspection by placing a charcoal radon test on the lowest level of the home. The purpose of this test is to gauge the levels of radon within the home over a period of time. Romeo then carried on with the inspection. When he completed, he met with the homeowner. He informed the homeowner that they were right to have their home tested as radon gas is deadly. He explained that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating a home if levels are higher than 4 pCi/L. Romeo informed the homeowner that, should the levels return higher, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system. 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. It works to lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with the solution but decided to wait until the results from the test returned. A week later, the results returned higher than the recommended level. The homeowner called Romeo and the two figured out the best day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team were able to swiftly install the system. Now, our customer has renewed faith in the air circulating within his home!
