Before & After Photos

A customer from Audubon, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice water entering his crawl space, creating musty odors and rotting wood. He was afraid that if left the condition untouched, it might compromise the structural integrity of the space. When he called our Appointment Center, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once completed, Kole was able to make recommendations about how to fix the issue. He recommended the use of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that, along with our Drainage Matting, these two would work together to trap and drain the unwanted water from the space to the appropriate disposal site. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Arturo, ended up wrapping the crawl space in 463 sqft of CleanSpace, and installing 346 sqft of our drainage matting. They ended the job by sealing up any remaining cracks and holes with our spray foam, a hardening foam that works to block water intrusion. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that unwanted water intrusion was a worry of the past! 

A homeowner from Audubon, MN, had recently learned about the threats that Radon gas. She had run to her local home improvement store and picked up an at-home radon monitoring test. After conducting the test, she was alarmed when the test returned with results in the double digits. She knew she couldn't leave this issue unresolved, so she began to look for radon mitigation companies in Minnesota. After coming across our website, she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Dylan J, was headed out to the home. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he was recommending the installation of one of our radon mitigation systems. 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 liked the sound of Dylan's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jackson P, made quick work of the installation of the system. Now, our customer can confidently breathe the air in her home, knowing that her levels of radon have been brought down! 

Andrew in Winthrop, MN had water leaking through his block foundation where the wall meets the floor. He had a working sump pump already in place, but without a drainage system the water had no way to reach the pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to develop a solution for Andrew. Our Specialist recommend having our WaterGuard drainage system installed and connected to the sump pump.

Andrew agreed with this solution, so our production crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and filled back the gaps with rock. They connected the drainage system into the existing sump pump and then replaced the concrete. This process only took a day to complete, and now Andrew is enjoying a dry, healthier basement.

Debra and Kathy of Ulen, MN had water leaking into their basement, making them feel nervous about the value of their home. They did some research online and came across our American Waterworks website and our basement waterproofing products. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to inspect their problem and come up with a solution. Debra and Kathy were confident in Rick's proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. Next, our crew applied 77 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System and secured it around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity from invading the basement and acts as an extra wall protectant. Then, Tremaine and his crew installed 77 feet of our WaterGuard System into the formed trench. Our WaterGuard collects water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain that leads to outside. Lastly, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

A homeowner in Garner, IA recently moved to a new home and was concerned after noticing their sump pump ran constantly. They had previously installed a TripleSafe SumpPump in their old home and were thrilled with its performance, so they decided to call American Waterworks for peace of mind.
