The homeowner was impressed with our excellent before and after photos, the homeowner knew we were the best company for them. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Kole, one of our Design Specialists. Kole arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. During his investigation, Kole determined the basement needed to be permanently stabilized and waterproofed. Kole was able to provide a solution that would solve all the homeowner's issues. After hearing Kole's recommendations, the homeowner knew this was the best option for them. The homeowner gave the stamp of approval, so Kole passed the plans to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the Logistics team built the project, they assigned it to our Foreman, Aaron, and his crew. Aaron and his crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, Aaron and his crew started by installing WaterGuard. 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 TripleSafe. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing PowerBraces on the struggling walls. First, the crew begins by cutting the wall braces. Next, the PowerBraces are secured into the floor joist hardware and fine-tuned into the correct position. Then, the PowerBraces are attached to the floor with a special, bolt-in-place bracket. Since the homeowners wished to include the straightening kit, they can tighten the brackets over time to gradually straighten the walls. Once the PowerBraces were secured into place, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the impressive transformation by the crew.

Erin and Tyrel, owners of a building space in Hazen, ND, were looking to both restore and refresh the basement space in order to use it as storage and potential office spaces. However, the basement was full of water damage, musty smells, and moisture intrusion, and they needed help. The pair decided to claim their FREE inspection. Our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. Our customer agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after.

Foreman Jesus and his crew prepped the walls and installed our full perimeter system. Then, they added our  WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. It works to trap water and sends it to an appropriate disposal site, which is typically a sump pump. So, our crew Inserted our SuperSump® Premier Pump System into the southeast corner of the space. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even during heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. They then proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold to affect the rest of the foundation. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. The customers were happy with the results and looking forward to utilizing the space.
