Patrick C. in Cresco, IA had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the damage that it was causing to his home, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Rick worked closely with Patrick to create the right waterproofing plan for his home. Patrick approved of the proposal that Rick presented to him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew installed 127 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Patrick has peace of mind that he chose the right solution to protect his basement for the long-term.

Toni and Bonnie M. of Cresco, IA had water leaking into the two bedrooms in their basement and they didn't know where it was leaking from. They were getting tired of cleaning the carpet, so they got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to their home and figured out that the water was leaking from their basement window. Rick proposed our Egress Window Well, which provides more natural lighting and fresh air while providing a safe emergency egress. Toni and Bonnie were confident in Rick's solution, so they signed the contract and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging out the soil around the existing window, forming a large hole to fit the egress into. These window wells provide rigid construction that doesn't collapse from the backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. to complete the installation, our team backfilled the soil around the egress, ensuring that their working space was neater than when they found it. Toni and Bonnie were thrilled with the completion and their peace of mind was restored!

Uneven, Cracked Driveway Lifted in Cresco, IA

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, disliked the appearance of their cracked, uneven driveway. Hoping to avoid replacing all of the concrete, the homeowner began looking into concrete repair options near them. The homeowner asked a local Facebook for any recommendations, and several members suggested working with us, American Waterworks. After taking a look at our services, the homeowner knew we were the best company for them. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. After Ryan arrived at the home, he began his detailed investigation of the concrete. Following his investigation, Ryan found that the sidewalk and garage floor were sinking due to settlement. Ryan told the homeowner of his findings and also recommended lifting the areas with PolyLevel, our polyurethane foam injection solution. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with the plan. Ryan passed the plans along to our Logistic team and then to our Forman, Troy. Once Troy and his crew received the plans, they traveled to the home to begin the project. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew.
