Preventing disasters in your home starts with keeping your systems up-to-date and operating at peak efficiency. American Waterworks provides a comprehensive range of services designed to keep your home safe and secured year-round. 

Shipshape

One of the largest anxieties homeowners face is the unknown status of their products. American Waterworks offers Shipshape, a performance monitoring technology, that acts as the "check engine light for your home". Shipshape is a system that monitors sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and condensation pump performance, giving homeowners peace of mind. Additionally, it prevents costly damage from possible breakdowns and extends the product life span by reminding you of the repairs and maintenance. Shipshape remotely monitors and receives alerts about crawl space, basement humidity, temperature, sump pump performance, and possible leaks. In the long run, Shipshape will help homeowners save money by showing if the system uses too much energy or is overworked. The lifespan of the products will be extended with maintenance reminders. Furthermore, homeowners will never be surprised by unexpected breakdowns or damage, because Shipshape will monitor your system ensuring it is efficient. Avoid costly crawl space or basement flooding by ensuring your waterproofing systems stay reliable with Shipshape. 

UltraSump

Now that the products are being properly monitored, it is time to shift to having a backup system for the waterproofing products. The UltraSump is a battery backup system that extends lasting reliability and is designed to keep your sump pump lasting efficiently. Additionally, the UltraSump will pump out an additional 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery. The UltraSump has long-lasting protection that will outlast generic backup pumps and double the pumping time. Attached to the system is the Advanced Alarm System that will sound off whenever the battery backup pump cycle turns on, giving homeowners a warning to respond. If the power goes out, the UltraSump will start and begin to pump water out of the sump basket. The UltraSump can include a double power pack configuration that will double the water output. 

IceGuard

In addition to interior products, having the best exterior waterproofing products can make a large difference. For any time of year, the perfect solution to clogged and frozen discharge lines is the IceGuard. The IceGuard is an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside the home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event the sump pump discharge line freezes or becomes clogged. Since it is 100% automatic, homeowners who have an IceGuard installed will never have to worry about water backing up from a frozen discharge line.

Aprilaire Dehumidifer

Dehumidifiers can make a world of a difference keeping your home dry and comfortable all year round. The Aprilaire is a powerful, energy-efficient dehumidifier that prevents dampness and mold in the house. In addition to removing moisture, the Aprilaire also creates healthy air that can reduce airborne viruses and contaminants in two days. The Aprilaire system automatically senses humidity for efficient and effective moisture removal from the home. Additionally, the Aprilaire can filter out mold, mildew, viruses, and allergens, leaving homeowners to save energy and keep their indoor air healthy. Once the Aprilaire is installed, it is easy to use and can handle up to 5,500 square feet. The Aprilaire is the ideal product to ensure your home stays dry and odor-free. 

Radon Mitigation System

One of the most common issues homes in the Midwest have are high radon levels. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer. Unless tested, a homeowner will never know if their home's radon levels are alarmingly high. American Waterworks offers tests that will help gauge the radon levels in a home and if a Radon Mitigation System will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The large plastic pipe connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. Then, an in-line fan sucks the radon-rich air beneath the foundation and pushes the hazardous air outside. The radon is extracted before it can sneak into your home.
