Before & After Photos

Daniel Y. of Hammond, WI had his windows blocked and wanted to provide more lighting in his basement with heavy-duty windows. Once he found out American Waterworks installs windows, he gave us a call for a Free Estimate to check out the property. We sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to inspect the basement to determine which window would work best. After all of Daniel's questions were answered and told Chad he wanted three windows, he went ahead with the project and scheduled the installation date. 

Our foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew began the installation by digging the wall pavement out in three spots. They measured all of the edges and sides to make sure that our EverLast Basement Windows would fit properly. Then, they trimmed off any leftover rigid edges to make the finishing touch nice and smooth. Our EverLast Basement Windows are double-paned, energy-efficient, and provide an elegant look to a refurbished basement! Daniel was very satisfied with the outcome and is looking forward to having American Waterworks be his go-to for future projects! 

Janet S. in Osceola, WI contacted American Waterworks because she was concerned about the water that was leaking into the corner of her basement, and she had a bowing foundation wall. She was tired of cleaning up after heavy rains, and she was concerned about the stability of her home. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Janet, evaluate the situation, and propose a unique solution. Janet was impressed with the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to stabilize the foundation wall by installing 7 Geo-Lock anchors along the wall. The wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull it back to its original position. Next, the crew waterproofed the basement by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier. The crew finished the job with installing our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to give the space a bright, clean look. Janet was pleased with the results, and glad she can now enjoy a dry basement! 

Jillian and Nathan of Taylors Falls, MN had water leaking through the floor of their basement, along with musty smells and damaged walls, causing them to worry about the state of the home. Our office staff contacted them and set the pair up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. Rick proposed they invest in our waterproofing solutions to properly address and resolve the issues. Jillian and Nathan were comfortable with the proposal and went ahead with the solution.

Foreman Raul and his crew headed to the property to begin implementation. First, they began by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. It is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners 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; this also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. Next, the team worked on our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls, and prevents water clogs. Along with that, they installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% relative humidity. 

The pair was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

Samantha M. and Anthony W. of Pine City, MN had wet and muggy crawl space that needed to be inspected. They called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to look at the issue and come up with a solution. Samantha and Anthony were comfortable with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team began and completed the installation by installing our CleanSpace Wall System. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent any mold and mildew, and provides the space with a clean and bright appearance. Cole and his crew finished the project by making sure the homewoners were happy with the outcome! 

Myron S. in Peterson, MN was experiencing water seeping into his basement. The water had started pooling and had nowhere to go. He was concerned about the damage this could cause and that water would keep coming in with each rainfall. He came across an advertisement for American Waterworks in the local newspaper and was pleased to find that we are experts in waterproofing.

He contacted us to set up a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to evaluate the situation and create a solution specific for him. Our Design Specialist determined that Myron would benefit from our WaterGuard drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump. Myron felt that our recommendation was the best plan for him, so he decided to move forward with the installation. 

Our production team installed 30 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the SuperSump sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping his basement dry. Myron also chose to have a battery backup installed to give him even more peace of mind. Myron can rest easy knowing that he chose a permanent waterproofing solution to protect his home.
