Before & After Photos

In Rochester, MN, a homeowner had learned that radon is a toxic gas that comes from the soil beneath the home, negatively impacting one's health. Concerned their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic gas, they decided to visit their local hardware store to purchase a radon testing kit and test the radon levels in their home. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, which is the recommended action level by the EPA, and the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Brad W, arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Brad recommended having the fan installed on the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement. This is designed this way so that our system can suction out the radon-rich air beneath the foundation and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After the crew successfully installed the system, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Susan N. in Cambridge, MN had water leaking into her unfinished basement. She wanted to have her basement finished at some point, so she knew she needed to find a solution to her water problem. She discovered American Waterworks and was pleased to see that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 3 decades. She decided to contact us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home. She was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so she scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system. 

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and lateral lines that lead to the TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system that is backed by three layers of protection. The process took two days, but now Susan no longer has to be concerned about water seeping into her home and she can now finish her basement.

Karla A. of Cambridge, MN had water leaking through her window, causing her to worry about her home. She found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so she got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad went to Karla's home, inspected her pre-existing window, and proposed our SunHouse Window Well, which is the perfect product to replace old, rotted, and debris-filled window wells. Karla was confident in the product, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew dug out a small portion of the soil, took out the pre-existing window well, and replaced it with our SunHouse Window Well and its cover. Karla was happy with the job and her peace of mind was restored.

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.

Allen M. of Protivin, IA had water leaking in his basement so he called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team broke out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System which is designed to collect wall seepage and serve as an "underground drain." Our crew filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the existing concrete. Allen was grateful we were able to save the life of his basement!
