Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, went to their basement following heavy rain and stumbled across a frightening surprise. The homeowner discovered their basement had flooded and the walls were damaged. Concerned about the long-term effects, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner had a friend who had a similar issue, so they asked them for any suggestions. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, James. Once James arrived at the home, he started the detailed investigation of the basement. During his inspection, James determined the basement was struggling in the north and south corner of the basement. James recommended fully waterproofing those two corners of the basement. After deliberating their options, the homeowner agreed and the plans were sent to the office to be finalized. The office approved the plans, which were passed to our Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew. Once Emmanuel and his crew received the plans, they traveled to the home and began the project. First, Emmanuel and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew focused on digging a feedline across the basement to connect the two water systems. Then, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, recently learned about the danger that radon poses in homes. Concerned that her family was breathing in the toxic fumes, she went to the store to buy a radon test kit. A couple of days later, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's required action level for radon. She immediately started looking for services in the area and came upon our website. She learned that we offer FREE estimates, and soon contacted us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.

Our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived on the scheduled date and immediately inspected the home to figure out where to install the radon mitigation system. He explained to the homeowner that the system needs to be installed on the lowest level of the home because radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it releases radon gas. By placing the system on the footing of the home, it tackles the radon gas before it can enter your home. The homeowner thanked Ian for his explanation and approved his design. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large-diameter plastic pipe that is installed at the footing and connects to the outside of the home. An in-line fan will suction out the radon gas beneath your foundation and vent it outdoors. After Jackson's installation was complete, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer is happy to know that she and her family are breathing in fresh and clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done. 

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help. 

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron installed our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home! 

Miaoqian L. of Hatton, ND had water leaking from their pre-existing sump pump and wanted to get it replaced with something new and more efficient. After hearing about American Waterworks, they got in contact with our office staff, so we set him up for a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their house to take a look at the existing sump pump and come up with a solution that fit their needs. Miaoqian got all of their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump sump pump. Our SuperSump is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time. To complete the small installation, our crew applied new concrete around the sump pump. Miaoqian was happy with the results and the final touch!

Julie D. of Litchville, ND had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted to get it repaired or looked at before it got worse. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Julie's home, carefully inspected her water leaks, and determined a solution that would work for her and her home repair needs. She was confident in Chad's proposal of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, so Julie signed his contract and wrote out a deposit. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the corner of the concrete basement floor, forming a space for the sump basket. Our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because of its triple protection and its ability to solve all three water problems in one unit. To complete the installation, Ryan and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over them. Julie was very happy with the work that was performed, and had a wonderful experience!
