Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Elkader, IA wanted to get a sump pump installed in their garage because they were worried about groundwater leaking through the floor. They requested a FREE Estimate with our office staff for one of our Design Specialists to come out to their home and take a look. We proposed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners. They were confident in our proposal, product, and warranty, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his team cut out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, forming a hole for the sump basket, followed by the pumps. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System comes with three levels of water protection and solves all three problems in one system. To complete the work, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the space was neat and clean. The homeowners were grateful they made this investment and no longer have to worry about groundwater!

Bob W. of Luana, IA had water leaking through the floor of his basement, causing him to worry about damage to property and his downstairs bathroom. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, carefully inspected his water leaks, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. Bob was confident in our proposal and felt confident in our products and warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman 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 System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team broke out half of the wall around the entire basement wall perimeter and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents the build-up of mold and mildew, covers any holes or divots, and serves as a protective blanket, while also saving money on energy bills. To complete the project, our team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Bob had a great experience with our team and was happy with the work that was performed!

Kristine I. of Arkansaw, WI had severe water problems in her basement, making her worry and want to get it under control. She got in touch with our office staff and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Chuck Haldeman. Chuck went to Kristine's house, inspected her water problems, and determined a solution. Kristine was confident in his solution, so she signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the entire basement wall perimeter. Our Foamax provides comfort to the home and saves money on energy bills while making the walls look clean and bright. It also reduces condensation due to moisture protection. Next, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, followed by the discharge line. Our TripleSafe provides three layers of protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. Our battery back-up keeps the system running in case of a power outage or failure. The purpose of the discharge line is to allow water to escape the home without invading the foundation wall. Kristine was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!

A homeowner in Arkansaw, WI, was worried their foundation was suffering after discovering the walls were damp. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowners knew they needed to get professional assistance. After doing some quick research, the homeowner's eye was caught by our high reviews and ratings. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was made, they sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete, to the home. Pete arrived and he began his detailed inspection. Following his inspection, Pete recommended that a small section of the basement be fully waterproofed. The homeowner agreed with Pete's recommendations and the plans were sent back to the office for approval. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Francisco, and his crew. When they arrived, Francisco and his crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the small room. Once the WaterGuard was secured into place, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their water intrusion risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to assist another homeowner. 

Katie W. in Waukon, IA noticed that she had cracks in her foundation and water was seeping through the cracks into her basement. The water had started damaging her personal items in her basement, and she was concerned that the damage to her basement was only going to get worse. She started looking for a waterproofing contractor in the area and she came across the American Waterworks website. She was glad to see that we have over 29 years of experience in the waterproofing industry. She contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with the proposal that we developed for her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and two lateral lines through the middle of the floor. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump system- which is our most reliable sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Katie can rest easy knowing that she chose the right solution to protect her home for the long-term.
