Before & After Photos

A female homeowner in Sauk Centre, MN had water leaking through her foundation walls into her basement, causing her to worry about the health conditions of living in her home. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to her home, inspected her basement, and provided a solution that fit her needs and budget. She felt confident with the proposal, so she went ahead and scheduled a date for her installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter forming a trench. Our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and acts as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, give the basement a neat and clean appearance, and cover any big holes or divots. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe works together with the WaterGuard to pump water out of the basement efficiently and effectively. It is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners and solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew covered the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. The homeowner was happy with the outcome and was grateful we were able to help her at her time of need! 

Marvin and Carroll B. of Steen, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement. They heard about American Waterworks through word of mouth, so they contacted our company. Our team came to the conclusion that Marvin and Carroll needed a reliable interior drainage system, so our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain that collects water seepage and prevents mud clogs. This system guides water to the sump pump, which then gets discharged out of the basement. Marvin and Carroll were happy with the work that was done and could not believe the dramatic change!

Joy J. of Russell, MN had cracked foundation walls in her basement and one of her friends referred American Waterworks so she got on our list for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Jeremy answered all of her questions so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team started the installation by digging five holes outside of the home and inserting a medal rod in each hole from the exterior soil to the interior foundation. Next, they screwed on and tightened one of our GeoLock Wall Anchors on the ends of each rod to stabilize and straighten the wall back into it's normal position. To complete the installation, Jose and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Joy couldn't believe how quickly our crew completed the project!

In Fifty Lakes, MN, a homeowner came upon an article that discusses the dangers radon poses in homes. Through the article, he learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which eventually turns into radon gas. Since uranium is in soil, it makes radon unavoidable. Worried that his family was breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to look into services in the area. He came upon our website and was pleased to see our Before and After photos of our radon mitigation system. He quickly contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to start the radon monitoring test. He set this test up in the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that the test would need to run for at least 48 hours. James reassured the homeowner that his decision to have the home tested was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. He further explained that we offer a radon mitigation system that uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that suctions out the air beneath your foundation and vents it outdoors. The homeowner was thankful for James's permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. 

In about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level for radon. The homeowner contacted us to schedule the installment of our radon mitigation system. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. When he finished installing the system, the homeowner was relieved he no longer had to worry about breathing in the toxic fumes.

John S. of Luverne, MN had water leaking from the walls in his basement, so he gave American Waterworks a call to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. After a careful inspection, Eric proposed our CleanSpace Wall System. John got all of his questions answered and felt comfortable, so he went ahead and scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his production team installed 114 feet of our CleanSpace around the perimeter of the basement walls. Our CleanSpace Wall System is mechanically connected with plastic fasteners to walls so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year-warranty. John was satisfied with the outcome, and was happy he no longer had to worry about his basement walls leaking!
