Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Adrian, MN, was at his local home improvement store one day when he noticed an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but knew that if levels in his home were high, he might need to take action. After conducting a test himself, he was floored when the results came back at 23 pCi/L. Panicked, he decided to find Minnesota radon specialists who could help. After finding our website, he was impressed with our radon mitigation pictures from other projects in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He first commended him for calling in an expert, as radon gas is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing. He went on to say that, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for any levels higher than 4 pCi/L, and that because of the elevated levels in the home, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed. Tony 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 a licensed professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Tony's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his team were able to seamlessly place the system within the home, successfully restoring the homeowner's faith in the air circulating his home!

Roger R. of Lake Benton, MN had water coming into his basement and he wanted to get it inspected by a professional. Our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns, inspected Roger's basement and determined a solution that would work for him and his basement waterproofing needs. Jared proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain System and our SuperSump Plus M53. Roger was confident in the products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which is designed to prevent water clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which is designed to keep basements dry and clean for long periods of time. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with rock and applied new concrete over them. Roger was happy with the work, and had a great experience from start to finish!

William and Heidi T. of Lake Benton, MN have had a wet basement ever since they moved into their home. They finally decided to have a professional look at it, so they called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected her basement, and drew up a solution that would repair their basement and home repair needs. They were confident with our proposal and job description, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. This drainage system is the most common drainage system we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports and its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. This vapor barrier is designed to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners because it triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. Our battery back-up is designed to keep the sump pump running if there was a power outage. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled the open-floor gaps with rock and applied new concrete over it. William and Heidi were both happy with the project, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Jesse H. of Gwinner, ND tore out their basement bathroom, but then had water coming into their basement. They researched some contractors and came across American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our expert Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, went to Jesse's home to examine the water problems and write out a well-designed solution. After a clear inspection, Jesse was confident in Richie's proposal of a sump pump replacement, so they signed the proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53 Sump Pump, followed by the discharge line. This sump system is designed with two pumps and is made to keep basements clean and dry by discharging water far away from the home and sending it away from the foundation. To complete the project, our production team covered the remaining broken-out concrete gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jesse was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from beginning to end!

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the corner of the concrete basement floor, forming a space for the sump basket. Our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because of its triple protection and its ability to solve all three water problems in one unit.
