Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Saint Anthony, MN, got in touch with us after they conducted an at-home radon gas test. The homeowner was disconcerted when the levels came back high and decided to look into Minnesota radon specialists. When the homeowner found our website, he signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. 

When Nick arrived, he first met with the homeowner. He informed them that because the levels of radon gas returned so high, he would strongly urge them to consider a radon gas mitigation system. Nick elaborated, explaining 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. He went on to say that when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. With that, Nick left the homeowner to think about the recommendation while he continued his inspection, scoping out the best place for a radon mitigation system. When the inspection was completed, the homeowner decided to schedule his project with Nick. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team seamlessly installed the mitigation system, successfully restoring our customer's faith in the air circulating his home!

Mitch J. in Coon Rapids, MN had water seeping into his basement. He expressed his frustration about the problem in his basement to a friend and that friend recommended that he call American Waterworks to waterproof his basement. Mitch decided to call us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the problem and design a solution. Jeremy worked closely with Mitch to develop a plan that was best fitting for his needs. Mitch was pleased with the proposal that Jeremy presented to him, so he scheduled a date for us to waterproof his basement.

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of Mitch’s basement, and the concrete where they needed to install the new sump pump. Then, they laid our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter and a feed line through the middle of the basement floor. The WaterGuard and feed line properly drain water to the sump pump, instead of the water pooling in his basement. Once the water reaches the sump pump, it is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Mitch was very pleased with the work that the crew did! He is glad he chose to invest in his home and protect his basement for the long-term.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed a musty smell coming from their basement. Unsure of where the smell was coming from, the homeowner decided to have a professional come out to the home to investigate. During their search, the homeowner came across our high reviews and ratings on HomeAdvisor. Impressed by our ratings, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to the home to determine the source of the odor. After he completed the inspection, Dylan determined that the musty odor was coming from the crawl space in the home. Dylan recommended a solution that would stop the odor. After hearing Dylan's solution, the homeowners determined that this was their best option. Once they agreed, the plans were then directed to the assigned crew, and production preparations commenced. Our Foreman, Victor, and his crew arrived at the home at began the encapsulation process. First, the crew cleaned all the debris out of the crawl space.

The plans were sent to the office, then to our Foreman, Lane, to begin the project. Lane and his crew started the project by installing the WaterGuard, our below-floor drain system, around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew could shift to replacing the old sump pump with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace along the basement walls. Finally, the crew installed a buried discharge line. Once all the products were successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their products and left the home.
