Before & After Photos

A customer from Saint James, MN got in contact with us when he had enough of unwanted water and moisture finding its way into his basement. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he could run the risk of developing mold and bacteria or damaging the structural integrity of the home. When he called our Appointment Center, we got him scheduled with our FREE estimate; a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. When our Design Specialist stopped at the house, he completed his walk-through and made recommendations as to how we could remedy the issue. He began by informing the homeowner that water was entering the basement through cracks and porous holes in the wall. He said we could fix this issue by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier along with our WaterGuard drainage system. He explained to the homeowner that the CleanSpace is a tarp-like material that gets tacked to the wall. It works to catch any water entering the home through the wall, directing it downwards. He went on to say that this is where the WaterGuard comes into play. This drainage system lies beneath the concrete of the floor and catches water dripping down the wall, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. The customer agreed with our recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our construction crew, led by Foreman Lane, ended up installing 100 ft of both the CleanSpace and WaterGuard throughout the basement of the home. When the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that no more unwanted water would find its way into his basement! 

A Raymond, MN, homeowner had just learned of the dangers of radon gas. He didn't want his family to be victim to the hazardous gas, so he began to look for radon mitigators in MN. After searching the internet, he found our website. After looking through our radon mitigation pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jesse W, headed out to the home. 

After Jesse finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he was recommended the installation of a radon mitigation system. When 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. 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 Jesse's recommendation, and work was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jackson P, headed out to the home. He was able to install the system with no issues. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that his radon problem has been solved! 

A homeowner in Prinsburg, MN, chose to have the crawlspace in their home encapsulated. After seeing an impressive before and after on their social media, the homeowner reached out to American Waterworks for their FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane, visited the home and completed a total inspection. After completing the inspection, Shane walked the homeowner through each step of the encapsulation process. After hearing Shane's explanation, the homeowners agreed to his suggestions. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew made their way to Prinsburg to begin the encapsulation processes. Before the crew's arrival, the homeowner was asked to remove any debris in the crawlspace. Once the crew arrived, they began the crawl space encapsulation process. They flattened the area to allow for easy installation. Next, the crew laid CleanSpace along the walls and the floor of the crawlspace. The crew left a cleaner and encapsulated crawl space. The homeowners were pleased with the work of the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today. 

Miaoqian L. of Hatton, ND had water leaking from their pre-existing sump pump and wanted to get it replaced with something new and more efficient. After hearing about American Waterworks, they got in contact with our office staff, so we set him up for a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their house to take a look at the existing sump pump and come up with a solution that fit their needs. Miaoqian got all of their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump sump pump. Our SuperSump is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time. To complete the small installation, our crew applied new concrete around the sump pump. Miaoqian was happy with the results and the final touch!

Jeremy K. of Starbuck, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and damage to his personal property. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problems, and drew up a well-designed solution. Jeremy was confident in Shane's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so he signed the contract and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an underground drain that prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works efficiently with the sump pump. To complete the work, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. Jeremy was ecstatic with the outcome of the project and had a positive experience!
