Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Altura, MN became worried about his basement when his daughter had informed him that her floors were damp. He looked into the problem himself and found exactly what she had said. Not wanting the damage to worsen if water continued to make its way into the home, he decided to find a solution. Online he found the American Waterworks company name and once he saw some of their before and after photos from past waterproofing jobs, he signed up for one of the FREE estimate appointments. The homeowner was greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman, who inspected the entire basement and gave his recommendations. Nick found other areas that also had some water damage and he suggested that the whole basement be waterproofed. The homeowner agreed and wanted to move forward with the plan for installations. One of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew later went to the site to install the WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard works to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the pump. The homeowner was so glad that a solution had been found and that he no longer had to worry about water entering the space.

Tami A. of Postville, IA had water leaking through the walls of her basement so she called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth diagnosis, Tami trusted the process, so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard System by breaking out the concrete to form a trench. Next, our crew applied our CleanSpace Wall System to prevent any further mold or humidity. Our crew covered the open trench gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Alan A. of Postville, IA wanted new basement windows, so he called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Rick, went to Alan's house, inspected her existing windows, and proposed a bid. Alan got all of his questions answered and was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Gabriel R., and his crew broke out the pre-existing basement windows and replaced them with our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows, which are far more energy-efficient, are double-paneled, vinyl-framed, and give a nice appearance to the home. Once the installation was completed, Gabriel provided Alan with a thorough walkthrough of the project and ensured he was happy with the work.

A homeowner in Postville, IA distressed after discovering their standing water in their basement. Frantically searching for a solution, the homeowner looked for the quickest respondent to their emergency. The homeowner looked into "flooded basement repair near Postville, IA" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and we set their FREE estimate with Brady, one of our Iowa-based Design Specialsits. Brady traveled to Postville and inspected the entire basement. During his investigation, Brady noticed several issues with the foundation, which led to the issues regarding flooding.  Brady completed the estimate and told the homeowner of the issues he discovered and how we could solve them. After hearing Brady's proposal, the homeowner knew it was their best option. The homeowner agreed with the solution, so Brady sent the plans to the office to build the project. Once the project was built, they sent the plans to our Foreman, Juan, and his crew. Juan and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Juan and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard channels were dug, the crew put two TripleSafe Sump Pumps into place. Next, the crew attached 14 GeoLock Wall anchors to secure the foundation. Finally, the crew wrapped up the project by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were installed, Juan and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the transformation completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to fully waterproof and stabilize its customer's basements. 

Peter K. in Dresser, WI had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in his home because of the moisture in that space. He also noticed that his energy bill was high and felt that energy was being lost from that space. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Peter was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed the drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system on the dirt floor and the sides of the crawl space. This helps to keep pests and moisture out, which reduces humidity. Peter was pleased with the result and is glad he can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!
