Before & After Photos

Chad P. of McIntosh, MN had two problems in his basement that both needed repairs right away. His foundation wall was cracking, and water was leaking into his basement from the cracks. He heard about American Waterworks and called our office line to get some more information about our products. Our staff set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to his house, carefully inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Chad was confident in Ian's drawn-out design and presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the solution by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an interior drain that works efficiently with the sump pump. Our WaterGuard prevents water and mud clogs by staying out of the mud zone and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, it guides the water into the WaterGuard System, and it gives the space a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, Corey and his crew installed seven of our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which is a patented wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten the wall over time. To complete the installation, our crew covered the open floor gaps with river rock, applied new concrete over it, and did a final walkthrough with Chad to make sure he was happy with the outcome, which he was!

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and prevent mud clogs. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is a vapor retarder designed to prevent mold and mildew, keep water out of the basement, and save money on energy costs. Gary was confident in the installation and was happy with the work that was done, so he went ahead with the project.

A homeowner in Geneva, MN, noticed that her current sump pump is backed up with water and was constantly getting clogged. Knowing that her home is not protected during a storm, she decided to quickly look into basement waterproofing and found us. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Brady S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Brady took a look at the sump pump and performed a few tests to check if it was working. Unfortunately, it remained dysfunctional, and Brady recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. Brady explained that our TripleSafe comes with three levels of protection and is capable of removing heavy loads of water. The primary pump is placed at the lowest level and can remove 2,200 gallons of water. The secondary pump is placed slightly higher and is designed to help in cause the primary pump becomes overwhelmed with heavy waters. Lastly, the third pump is a battery backup in case of power outages. Alongside the sump pump, Brady also recommended IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump lines freeze or become clogged. The homeowner happily agreed to Brady's suggestions, and Brady's design was then sent to our Foreman.

In about two months, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 1 TripleSafe and 2 IceGuards. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Montrose, MN, was scrolling through social media when she came upon a post discussing the danger that radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As the soil decays, it releases radon, which creates a high toxicity level in the air. After learning this information, the homeowner decided to go to her nearest convenience store to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the EPA's required action for radon. The homeowner quickly started searching for radon services in the area and came upon our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to assess the basement. Gary explained to the homeowner that our radon mitigation system is installed at the lowest level of the home and connects the air beneath the foundation to the outdoors. This is done this way so that our system will tackle the radon-rich air before it can enter the home. The homeowner agreed to Gary's design and decided to move forward. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. They installed the system by drilling a hole in the floor and placing the PVC pipe. The pipe then connects to the radon mitigation system, which is installed outside of the home. Once the crew was done, they cleaned out their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing she and her family are breathing fresh, clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!
