Bowing Wall Fixed in Tomah, WI

A homeowner from Tomah, WI, had been worried about the foundation of her home for some time now. Over the years, several large cracks had become visible on one of the walls, leading the customer to fear that there could be something wrong with the home's structural integrity. The homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in her area. She had knowledge of our services and often saw our logo'd cars around town, so she called us up and set up her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. When Chuck arrived, he wasted no time entering the basement to see the cracks for himself. Once he concluded his estimate, he met with the homeowner, explaining that the bowing could be from various factors. However, he had the solution. He wanted to use our CarbonArmor reinforcement system to address the bowing wall. He explained that CarbonArmor can help reinforce your bowing walls and repair cracks. They are made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10x stronger than steel and is specifically designed to reinforce and stabilize basement walls. While this system will not restore the wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks, and because the straps don't protrude on the wall like other solutions, the repair can easily be covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and signed up for her job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 7 of our Carbon Armor straps around the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her foundation deterioration has been halted! 

Cracked Foundation Wall Repaired in Tomah, WI

A homeowner in Tomah, WI, noticed their foundation wall was cracking. Knowing they couldn't solve the issue themselves, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked foundation repair near me" and one of the first foundation repair companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our award-winning foundation products, the homeowner knew we were the ideal choice for their home. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chuck, to the home to take a closer look. Chuck arrived at the home to begin the estimate. During his inspection, Chuck found several cracks growing throughout the south foundation wall. To prevent these cracks from growing, Chuck recommended installing CarbonArmor strips along the struggling wall. The homeowner agreed with Chuck's recommendations, so they passed the proposal along to our Logistics team to build and approve the plans. Once the plans were approved, they were passed along to our Logsitics team. Our Logistics team built the project, and then it was scheduled for the following months. A few weeks later, our Foreman, Diego and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. After they arrived, Diego and his crew made sure the walls were ready for the CarbonArmor. Next, Diego and his crew installed seven CarbonArmor strips on the south walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their walls were properly reinforced. American Waterworks is happy to repair its homeowner's struggling walls.

Radon Eliminated in Worthington, MN

A homeowner from Worthington, MN, was chatting with her neighbor one day when she learned that they had just had their home tested for radon gas. She didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but figured it would be worth testing her home, just to be on the safe side. When the homeowner went to look for radon specialists in her area, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with other radon systems we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived at the home, he began the process by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the home and then carried on with his inspection of the home. When Ryan finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by explaining a bit more about what radon is. Radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is emitted from the breakdown of the soil around your home's foundation. It creeps into your home through small holes or cracks in the foundation and silently wreaks havoc on lung tissue. Ryan went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives each year in the United States. Going back to the test, Ryan explained to the homeowner that the purpose of this test was to record radon levels in the house over 48 hours, delivering an average result when the test concluded. Ryan went on to say that, should the results come back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Ryan explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked Ryan's comprehensive approach and solution, and decided to sign on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his team were able to seamlessly place the system in the home. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that he no longer has to worry about dangerous radon gas!
