Damp, Musty Basement Transformed in Calmar, IA

Before	After

Noland H. in Calmar, IA had an unfinished basement with a dirt floor. He had water seeping up through the soil and through the limestone foundation. It was his goal to remodel the home, but he knew he needed to waterproof his basement before doing so. A few of his neighbors recommended that he contact American Waterworks, so he called us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Noland liked our waterproofing products and enjoyed working with Pete, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls. The combination of these waterproofing products has made Noland’s basement a dry, brighter and healthier space. Noland is happy he chose to protect his basement before starting the remodel.

Cracked, Sunken Driveway Lifted in Calmar, IA

Before	After

A homeowner in Calmar, IA, disliked the appearance of their cracked and uneven driveway. Knowing they could not solve the issues themselves, the homeowner began looking into driveway repair options in the area. The homeowner remembered that their annual maintenance appointment was coming up, so they made sure to mention their concrete issues. We sent one of our Service Technicians, Kyle, to the home to complete the annual inspection. After Kyle arrived, he inspected the previously installed waterproofing equipment in the basement. Once he completed his inspection, the homeowner showed him where their concrete was struggling. Kyle noticed that the sidewalk and driveway were suffering from settlement. To stop the sidewalk settlement from continuing, Kyle recommended lifting the sidewalk and driveway back to its original level. The homeowner agreed with Kyle's suggestions and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Sam, and his crew to begin the project. Sam and his crew traveled to the home and started by lifting the driveway and sidewalk using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the driveway and sidewalk were lifted, the crew shifted their focus to filling and replacing the joints throughout the area. The crew used NexusPro Joint Sealant, a silicone-based sealant, to replace all the joints. After the joints were replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Wateworks is happy to provide homeowners with the best service.
