Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Albert Lea, MN had metal window wells that were allowing water to leak into their basement. This became a serious problem and they wanted new window wells installed before winter. Our team at American Waterworks installed new SunHouses, which are sealed to the foundation. Our team also installed Window WellDucts in the interior of the home to collect any water that may get into the window wells. The homeowners were very happy with the work and they liked the new view from the exterior of their home!

A homeowner from Albert Lea, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned his neighbors had their home tested and mitigated for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a specialist in the area to ease his concerns. When he found our website, he was impressed with the previous radon systems we had installed in his area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Brad W, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

When Brad headed out to the home, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that the point of the test is to record the levels of radon in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, and at the end, deliver the average level of radon within the home. Brad went on to say that if the test came back with a level higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Brad 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the radon results returned. When the test results came back, they were well above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner and Brad worked together to find the right date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the mitigation system in the home. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that his home is only circulating the cleanest air! 

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, noticed that her sump pump system had been struggling to remove water during storms and was concerned her home would face water damage. The homeowner decided to take action by looking into basement waterproofing in the area and found us. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection and create a proposal with the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Dylan ran a few tests on the sump pump before confirming that it had broken. Dylan recommended TripleSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system that comes with three levels of protection, to replace the sump pump, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the pipes freeze. The homeowner happily agreed to Dylan's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 1 TripleSafe sump system at the corner of the basement and 2 IceGuards. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing she has a reliable sump pump that will keep her basement dry for many years to come! Are you experiencing something similar? Schedule your FREE estimate with one of our trained experts by clicking HERE!

An Albert Lea, MN, homeowner knew his sump system was due for an upgrade. The system would often run, even when excess wasn't present, and it was beginning to make unusual sounds. The homeowner turned to the internet to search for 'sump pump replacement near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, was headed out to the home.

When Brian arrived, he got right to work assessing the old system. When he completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Brian stated that the homeowner was right to be concerned about the system, adding that it was due for an upgrade. Brian recommended our SuperSump sump pump. An effective and economical solution to basement water. It's engineered to help keep he basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per house at a 9-foot head out of your basement. Brian then went on to recommend our UltraSump battery backup, an addition that keeps the system functioning even during the loss of power. The battery backup can pump out 11,500 gallons or more in a single charge. The homeowner liked the sound of Brian's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

A month later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team successfully installed the SuperSump in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his basement is well protected!
