Blair, WI's Relaible Cracked & Sinking Concrete & Foundation Repair

A homeowner in St. Blair, WI, noticed water damage throughout their basement. Worried this issue would worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Knowing they could not repair the issue themselves, the homeowner began looking into "basement repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at the services we offer. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Chuck. A week later, Chuck arrived at the home and started the thorough walk-through of the basement. During his walk-through, Chuck confirmed the water was sneaking in near the edge of the walls. Additionally, Chuck discovered the foundation was suffering from settlement. To prevent the issue from continuing, Chuck recommended fully waterproofing and stabilizing the basement. After reviewing the solution, the homeowner knew this was the best plan of action. Next, Chuck passed the proposal off to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team approved the plans, then they were scheduled for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Chris, and his team traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Chris and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the SuperSump+ to the new WaterGuard. Next, the crew installed GeoLock Wall Anchors on the unstable walls. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. Along with the GeoLock installation, the homeowner asked that the tightening kit be included as well. This will allow the homeowner to straighten their walls over time. 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, so they left a five-star review.

Karen S. in Blair, WI had contacted us to encapsulate her crawl space and while we were at her home, she decided she wanted to have us test her home for radon. The results showed that Karen's home had high levels of radon, so we suggested that we install a radon mitigation system in her home. After learning that radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the United States, she wanted to have the system installed as soon as possible.

Our radon mitigation specialists drilled a small hole through the concrete floor in her basement and inserted a PVC pipe to create a suction point for the radon gas. Then, they ran the PVC pipe up through her home against the wall and had the pipe exit through the roof. They installed a fan towards the top of the PVC pipe to ensure the radon gas was pushed away from the home. Karen is glad she chose to have the system installed and his happy that her health is no longer being compromised because of radon.
