Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, worried their home's radon levels were alarmingly high. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is emitted from rocks and soil. Additionally, radon can be found anywhere one arch and emissions can vary based on local geography. Hoping to find a professional to provide them with a solution, the homeowner began looking into "radon mitigation systems near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our radon before and after photos, the homeowner knew we were their best option. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Tony. About a week later, Tony arrived at the home and started the appointment. First, Tony placed a radon test to discover the homes' radon levels. While the radon test was being completed, Tony began looking for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. After the test was completed, it showed that the levels were alarmingly high. To eliminate the threat, Tony recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in front of the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, the project was scheduled with our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew. A few weeks later, Dakota and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. Once they arrived, Dakota and his crew began by installing the Radon Mitigation System on the wall. Once the Radon Mitigation System was installed, Dakota and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with their excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to eliminate radon risks in its customers' homes. 

Heather A. of Kiester, MN had water seeping from her floor joists, making her worry about her home conditions, especially during harsh weather conditions. She called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, carefully inspected her water problem, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. She was confident with Jared's solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, 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 System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Homeowners appreciate how quickly this system is installed because it is done with minimal removal of the slab and all of the removed concrete is restored during the installation. So, just like that, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete.

Fred from Cavalier, ND had been reading up on the side effects of radon gas. Fred had read that levels are higher in the Midwest than in other portions of the region, and was afraid for the lung safety of his household, should there be hazardous radon gas present. He did some research about companies that could help and found our North Dakota branch. When he called our office, we set him up with our FREE estimate by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, a member of our Design Specialist team, Evan, headed out to the property to complete a radon test, which after 46-72 hours, came back showing high, hazardous levels of radon in the home. Evan explained that while the levels were high, our company could install a radon mitigation system both inside and outside of the home that would work to pull radon from the home and pipe it upwards and out of the home. Fred quickly agreed and work began some weeks after. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team worked quickly to install the system, and when the work was completed, Fred was happy to know that the air in his home was safe to breathe!

A homeowner in North Mankato, MN, noticed their basement walls were leaking water. Worried about the long-term damage this could cause, the homeowner began looking into a "leaking wall basement repair". While looking through all the options, the homeowner came across us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeonwer decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Lance, to the home to take a closer look. During the estimate, Lance found several areas suffering from water intrusion. Lance recommended installing an interior French drain system, WaterGuard, along the basement floor. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with his proposal. The project was scheduled, then our Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. Luis and his crew installed the WaterGuard system along the southwest corner of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew installed a feedline from the sump pump to the northwest corner of the room. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to assist its homeowners in repairing their damaged basements. 

 Mr. Conner's foundation walls are cracking and pushing inward due to the expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside his home. We recommended installing eleven Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the bowing wall to stabilize and restore the wall back to its original position.  The soil anchors were placed in the ground outside his home. Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates. Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.
