Wet Basement Waterproofed in La Crosse, WI

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, noticed signs of water damage in his basement and was unsure of the cause. He decided to look into basement waterproofing services in La Crosse, WI, and found American Waterworks. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner decided to contact us and schedule his FREE basement waterproofing estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the home. During the inspection, he noticed that the moisture levels were higher than normal, and a few wet spots along the perimeter of the basement. For this reason, Dustin recommended installing WaterGuard, our drainage system that collects water at the perimeter of the home and sends it to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our elite sump pump system with three levels of protection, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier to prevent mold growth and control the moisture levels. After looking over Dustin's proposal, the homeowner knew it was the best option to stop the water leaks in his home, so he scheduled the installation date with one of our crews.

In about a month, our Foreman, Matt Z., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation.

Radon Gas Levels Controlled in Onalaska, WI

A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, came upon our blog post discussing the dangerous health risks of radon and was worried that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that breaks down in soil. Over time, as the soil decays, it breaks down into radium and eventually turns into radon gas. Radon gas is extremely hazardous, as it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. Soon after learning this information, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Will R., headed out to the home.  

When Will arrived, he tested for radon by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home in 48 hours. Will also informed the homeowner that he would consider adding a Radon Mitigation system to the home if the test results are above 4pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level. He also explained that if the test results were not at a dangerous level, it was always good to have your home regularly tested for radon gas. Unfortunately, we cannot smell, taste, see, touch, or hear radon, which makes it extremely important to test for radon gas levels every 2 years. After a few weeks, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted Will and scheduled the installation.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew traveled to the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large plastic pipe with an in-line fan that sucks radon-rich air beneath your foundation and spews it outdoors. After the installation, our customer was pleased to have clean air!

Full Perimeter WaterGuard Installed in Onalaska, WI

Elinor in Onalaska, WI had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the damage that the water was causing and interested in our French drain products, so she called us for a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. We recommended that she have our full perimeter WaterGuard system installed to ensure that her basement would be permanently waterproofed. Elinor liked the proposal that we presented to her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to her existing sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home. Now Elinor wil be able to enjoy a dry basement for many years to come. She is glad she chose to invest in the protection of her home.
