Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Osage, IA, was dealing with an issue in his basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner could see water trickling down the wall, creating a pool of water at the base of the wall. The homeowner took to the internet to search for 'leaky basement repair near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He was impressed with other work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home. When Ryan arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the basement to evaluate the space. Upon conclusion, Ryan met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Ryan commended the homeowner for taking action. He explained that leaky basements don't get better over time, in fact, they only worsen and become more costly to fix down the road. He went on to say that he had a plan for the basement. He began by recommending our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets adhered directly to the unfinished walls, functioning to direct water entering through the wall downward and into our WaterGuard, Ryan's second recommendation. WaterGuard is a unique French drain that is installed below the basement floor around the perimeter of the basement. It sits atop the footing of the foundation for optimal water flow. This drain acts as a channel for both the water trickling down the wall behind the CleanSpace, and water entering through the floor joints, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. While Ryan had been in the basement, he noticed that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, so his final recommendation was our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable pump in our lineup. This powerful pump offers three levels of protection for both your basement's health and your peace of mind. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's proposal and plan for the space and decided to move forward with scheduling. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team installed 97 ft of WaterGuard, 97 ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump. Now, our customer can head into the first melt of Spring with confidence that his basement is properly defended against unwanted water!

A homeowner in Osage, IA, knew it was time to replace their outdated and struggling sump pump. Knowing they needed an expert, the homeowner began searching for "sump pump replacements near me". At the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our sump pump lineup. Impressed with our stellar ratings and services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Eric. A few days later, Eric arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the sump pump. Eric confirmed that the sump pump was suffering and needed to be replaced. Eric presented the plans to the homeowner, and they agreed with his solutions. After he received the stamp of approval, Eric sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. The project was scheduled for a few months later with our Foreman, Kiko. Once the project date arrived, Kiko and his crew traveled to the home to start the installation. First, Kiko and his crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe, one of our elite sump pump systems. Once the sump pump was replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a stellar review.

A homeowner in Osage, WI had an upcoming annual maintenance with our Service Technician, Sam V. This was perfect as the homeowner noticed damp spots in her basement and was concerned that excess water and moisture could lead to water damage. When Sam arrived at the home, he took a close look at the areas of concern and ran a few tests with the SuperSump+. After this, he created a proposal for the homeowner and recommended having our UltraSump, a battery backup pump that can operate during power outages, installed in the SuperSump+ that was already installed. Alongside the UltraSump, he also suggested installing TripleSafe, our elite sump pump system that comes with 3 pumps in one unit, in the existing sump pit, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump pipes freeze due to freezing temperatures. After looking over Sam's recommendation and knowing that having those products installed would lead to a long-term solution, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a week, our Foreman, Jesus M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing UltraSump into the SuperSump+. Then, they replaced the out-of-date sump pump in the other room and installed TripleSafe with two IceGuard. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A previous client of ours from Charles City, IA reached out to us after concerns that their sump pump wasn't keeping up with the demands of their basement and kept the basement feeling very damp.  

American Waterworks recommended installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to take control of the water and humidity and prevent any further heat loss.  We also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump with battery backup to ensure that these homeowners never have to worry about a wet basement again.  

A homeowner in Charles City, IA was concerned when she noticed some areas of her basement were damp. She found that it had created some damage to the space, especially to the carpet in one of the rooms where there had been leaks. Rather than let the issue continue to grow, she decided to research basement waterproofing solutions. During her search she found the American Waterworks website and was interested in our FREE estimates, so she scheduled one for herself. We received her request and sent over Design Specialist Ryan Manske to the home to carry out an inspection of the area. Ryan assured the homeowner that there were solutions to repair the space and get it back to a water-free state. The homeowner was relieved to hear this and agreed to the project plans. Once the plans were approved, we sent over Foreman Lane Schlobohm and his crew to install both our WaterGuard perimeter drain system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. The crew carefully had both products installed and ensured they worked properly so there would be no more incoming water into the room. The homeowner was glad that she had reached out to us instead of leaving the problem and was happy with the final results.
