The homeowner went to a local Facebook group and asked for any referrals. Many people responded recommending us, American Waterworks.

After seeing our impressive list of waterproofing services and products, the homeowner decided to sign up for the FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Dylan, one of our Design Specialists. Dylan arrived at the home to begin a full inspection of the basement.

Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to follow through with this plan. Once the plan received the stamp of approval, the crew prepped their materials and traveled to the home. Our Foreman, Lane, arrived at the home and began by prepping the home for waterproofing product installation. First, the crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the home. Additionally, the crew dug a feedline across the center of the basement floor. Next, the crew installed the SuperSump+ in the corner of the basement. After the SuperSump+ was installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were happy to know their home was no longer at risk of flooding.

Basement Waterproofing in Moorhead, MN

Julie P. of Moorhead, MN had a small water leak underneath her basement stairs. It would only occur during heavy rainstorms. She worked with American Waterworks for the repairs, and her Design Specialist was Ian Schultz. Ian examined the water leak and determined the solution of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Julie was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team broke out the concrete where the water leak was and installed our WaterGuard, which collects water from basement walls and serves as an underground drain to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace which prevents mold and humidity and serves as a protective blanket. To complete the work, our crew filled the open-floor gap with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over it, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.

High Radon Levels Mitigated in Moorhead, MN

A Moorhead, MN, man had just learned of the dangers that radon gases pose to households. He wanted to ensure the safety of his family, so he headed to a local home improvement store to pick up a short-term radon test. After following the instructions on the package, he was alarmed to find out that the radon level in his home was 5 pCi/L. He didn't want his family to breathe in unhealthy air for longer than necessary, so he began to look for a radon mitigation company that could give him more radon gas information. Through his search, he found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Jackson P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once he finished his inspection, Jackson was ready to discuss the next steps with the homeowner. Jackson informed the homeowner that he wanted to install a radon mitigation systemWhen installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. Before installing a radon mitigation system, the contractor will run a radon test to determine if radon abatement is necessary. 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. The homeowner agreed with Jackson's recommendations and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Jackson returned to install the system. He completed the project with no complications. Now, our customer can confidently breathe fresh air circulating in his home!
