Before & After Photos

Leo S. in Stoddard, WI had water leaking through his wood foundation into his finished basement. Unfortunately, the water had caused damaged to his drywall and flooring. He contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to provide him with a free estimate and unique waterproofing plan. He liked the thorough plan that Pete developed, so he scheduled the installation.  

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew removed the damaged portion of the drywall and then removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. They laid the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, so the water will be properly guided to the sump pump. Next, they filled back the gaps around the WaterGuard with rock and replaced the concrete. Then, they installed the EverLast half-wall restoration system. This wall system includes metal studs and an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32" of the drywall. This is a permanent solution for water-damaged dry wall! Leo’s peace of mind has been restored and he is enjoying a dry, healthier basement!

A homeowner in Stoddard, WI, noticed an odd noise from their basement. Unsure of the source, the homeowner knew they needed to take a closer look. The homeowner discovered the noises were coming from their sump pump. Concerned that their sump pump was in serious trouble, the homeowner began searching for a replacement. The homeowner looked into "best sump pump systems," and the homeowner came across one of our blogs highlighting our sump pump systems. After reading the blog, the homeowner knew we offered the best line of sump pumps in the area. 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, Michel, to the home to take a closer look. Once Michel arrived, he began by inspecting the struggling sump pump. After taking a closer look, Michel confirmed the sump pump required replacement. Additionally, Michel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. After he completed the thorough inspection, Michel presented his solution to the homeowner. The homeowner knew this was their best option for their home, so they decided to go ahead with Michel's proposal. Next, Michel passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team finalized the project, then it was scheduled for a few weeks later. When the project date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kiko and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to removing the old sump pump and installing the SuperSump+. Next, Kiko and his crew installed CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing the IceGuard on the exterior discharge line. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure. 

Katie W. in Waukon, IA noticed that she had cracks in her foundation and water was seeping through the cracks into her basement. The water had started damaging her personal items in her basement, and she was concerned that the damage to her basement was only going to get worse. She started looking for a waterproofing contractor in the area and she came across the American Waterworks website. She was glad to see that we have over 29 years of experience in the waterproofing industry. She contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with the proposal that we developed for her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and two lateral lines through the middle of the floor. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump system- which is our most reliable sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Katie can rest easy knowing that she chose the right solution to protect her home for the long-term.

Wayne S. in Waukon, IA had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the damage that it was causing to his home and was worried that the air quality was being compromised, so he contacted American Waterworks for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs. Wayne approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew got to work and installed 194 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and the feed line through the middle of the floor.

The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home.

A homeowner in Waukon, IA, discovered large pools of water throughout their basement. Worried by this finding, the homeowner frantically searched for a company to solve this issue. After hearing about our fast service, the homeowner called our Appointment Center to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of Rick, one of our Design Specialists. After Rick arrived, he went to the basement and started inspecting the level of damage. During his inspection, Rick discovered water was rapidly leaking into the basement. Rick knew this issue needed to be addressed immediately, so he suggested installing a new drain system around the basement perimeter.
