A homeowner in Decorah, IA, noticed their sump pump was not working as efficiently. Knowing they needed an expert, the homeowner began looking at companies that could service their sump pump. During their search, the homeowner came across our impressive sump pump line-up. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. The homeowner prepared for the arrival of Brian, one of our Design Specialists. After Brian arrived, the homeowner showed him to the sump pump and he began his evaluation. Brian confirmed that the sump pump needed to be replaced, and he recommended the best sump pump we offer, the TripleSafe. The homeowner wanted a sump pump that would last, so they agreed with Brian's recommendations. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. Once they arrived, Kiko and his crew took out the old sump pump. After the sump pump was removed, the crew replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump. In addition to a new sump pump, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. The crew completed the installation and put the basement back together.

A homeowner in Decorah, IA, was beginning a basement remodel. While in the beginning stages, the homeowner noticed signs of water damage throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a lasting solution to their issue. The homeowner began looking into “basement repair near me” and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our 5-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to take a closer look. After he arrived, Ryan introduced himself to the homeowner and began the detailed estimate of the foundation. During his inspection, Ryan found that the walls were beginning to bow and the leak. To stop both these issues from continuing, Ryan recommended installing several products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan’s proposal. As soon as the proposal was finalized, it was sent to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for the following month. Once the project date arrived, our assigned Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. After they arrived, Luis and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. While the WaterGuard was being installed, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Next, the crew attached CarbonArmor to the weakening basement walls. As soon as the CarbonArmor was secured the crew was secured, the crew shifted their focus to attaching CleanSpace to the basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure.

Rebecca S. of Decorah, IA had water leaking into her basement for several years and she wanted to get it looked at and fixed up before it got any worse. She got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a free estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected the problems she was having, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her home repair needs. She was confident in Rick's proposal, so followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our FoamMax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter, which makes the walls look clean, provides comfort to the home, and reduces condensation for moisture protection. To complete the project, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Rebecca was thrilled with the work and had a great experience from start to finish!

A Decorah, IA, homeowner was in the process of transforming their unfinished basement into a living space. For the project to be code-compliant, the homeowner learned that they needed to have a means of egress in the basement. The homeowner took to the internet to look for an 'egress window well near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After viewing other egress jobs we had done in the area, the homeowner decided to claim his FREE, no-obligation estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to perform his inspection. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan informed him that we could certainly add an egress window in the basement of the home. Our RockWell window wells offer an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. These window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the wall walls. They're UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell's egress windows feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural light and fresh air to enter the space. Finally, RockWell has mimicked the look of real stone so you don't have to look out of your new basement windows at a plastic-looking well. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's approach and signed on the spot for the project. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his team were headed out to the home to install the egress window well. When they had finished the project, the basement was adorned with a new egress window well and our homeowner was thrilled to know his project could continue on schedule!
