Before & After Photos

Peter K. in Dresser, WI had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in his home because of the moisture in that space. He also noticed that his energy bill was high and felt that energy was being lost from that space. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Peter was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed the drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system on the dirt floor and the sides of the crawl space. This helps to keep pests and moisture out, which reduces humidity. Peter was pleased with the result and is glad he can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!

A homeowner from Milltown, WI, was dealing with an outdated sump pump. The sump would continually cycle, even when there was no rain. The homeowner grew tired of repeatedly hearing the pump cycle, so he decided to look into other waterproofing solutions for his basement. After perusing the internet, he found our website. Impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists in the homeowner's area, stopped at the house to evaluate the issue. 

Daniel took his time with his inspection. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to inform him that he believed that there were three products in our inventory that he believed would fix the problem. First, Daniel recommended the installation of our WaterGuard. This unique french drain system gets installed below the slab of the basement floor and atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water entering from holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to the sump pump. Because of the severe deterioration of the old sump pump, Daniel recommended the use of our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump on the market, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water, or in case of primary pump failure, the TripleSafe boasts a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner. Finally, Daniel informed the homeowner that even homes with comprehensive waterproofing systems can still develop moisture and mold problems and could even feel damp. Concrete walls and floors continually absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the air in your basement, and store-bought dehumidifiers simply aren't strong enough to solve the problem. For this reason, Daniel recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% RH. The homeowner agreed with Daniel's recommendations and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jeremiah F, led his team through the successful installation of 132ft of WaterGuard, 1 TripleSafe pump, and 1 AprilAire dehumidifier. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his waterproofing issue is solved! 

Sandra and William S. of Waterville, MN had water leaking into their closet, making them nervous about water damage, especially to their personal belongings. One of their friends referred American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, inspected their water problems, and came up with the solution of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Sandra and William were confident in the product and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and put down their deposit. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the project by breaking out a hole in the concrete. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection, solves all three water problems in one system, and keeps basements dry for very long periods of time. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Sandra and William were happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

Jamie and Joe F. of Lonsdale, MN had water leaking through their basement window. They got in contact with American Waterworks and had our company out to their house to inspect the problems. They were confident in the proposal of our EverLast Basement Windows, so they decided to schedule a FREE estimate. 

Our Foreman and his crew broke out the pre-existing window and window well and replaced it with our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows as well as our SunHouse Window Well. Both of these systems help prevent water from leaking into the basement and they help with energy efficiency. Is water leaking into your basement?

Gregg P. had water leaking into his basement due to a failed sump pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to inspect his problem and develop a solution. Gregg was pleased with Shane's proposal, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team installed a lateral line and a SuperSump sump pump, which now properly expels water from the home. The installation only took a day to complete. Gregg is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his basement.
