Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Winona, MN, had been listening to the radio when she heard a warning about radon gas. She knew very little about the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. She decided that it was better to be safe than sorry, and vowed to find a radon mitigation company to test her home. When she found our website, she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, he began his inspection by placing a charcoal radon test on the lowest level of the home. Nate explained to the homeowner that this test is comprised of an airtight container with activated charcoal being opened in the home and radon in the air absorbed into the charcoal granules, giving our team an accurate reading of the radon within the home. Nate went on to say that, should the results return higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. He explained 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. The homeowner liked Adam's approach but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. A few short days later, the results returned at 8 pCi/L, double the levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner called Adam and the two worked together to find a day for our team to come back to install the system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, was headed to the home. Dakota and his team were able to seamlessly place the radon system in the home, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home! 

Holly W. of Alma, WI had water leaking into her basement, causing her to worry about damage to property. She got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected her problems, and drew out the solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain. Holly was confident in Rick's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard. Not only does it serve as an underground drain, but it also collects water leaking from basement walls and prevents water or mud clogs during harsh weather conditions. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring that the basement was cleaner than when they found it. Holly was satisfied with the work that was completed!

A homeowner in Caledonia, MN experienced a wet basement after their beaver system had failed.  American Waterworks was able to install our trusted WaterGuard waterproofing system, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent any future water damage in their finished basement.

Phillip M. of Menomonie, WI had water leaking throughout his entire basement, making him worry about water condensation and flooding. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to his home, inspected his basement, and drew up a conclusion that was easy for Phillip to understand. He was confident in Mac's plan, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs and serve as an underground drainage system. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity build-up and serves as an extra wall protectant. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the repairs, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Phillip was extremely happy and had a remarkable experience from start to finish! 

A Menomonie, WI homeowner noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional solution before the issue worsened. The homeowner decided to take a closer look into "basement waterproofing near me" and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner was prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Darin. Following his arrival, Darin introduced himself to the homeowner and began thoroughly inspecting the home. During the inspection. Darin discovered that several areas of the basement were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent these issues from worsening, Darin recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. After considering their options, the homeowner knew this was their best option for their home. Next, Darin sent his proposal to our Logistics team to schedule and build the project. Once our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, the plans were scheduled for the following month. After the date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Raul and his crew began by installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, Raul and his crew shifted their focus to replacing the sump pump with the SuperSump+. After the SuperSump+ was secured, the crew began the CleanSpace installation. Following the CleanSpace installation, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was secure from future water intrusion. American Waterworks is happy to assist their homeowners in repairing their damaged basements.
