Before & After Photos

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI was worried about her basement when she went downstairs and noticed her floors had gone through some water damage. She didn't know what the next best step was for her basement, but knew she needed a professional's insight on the issue, so she went online to look for a basement waterproofing company. She was pleased to see that American Waterworks offered services for her area of Wisconsin because her family had a positive experience with us in the past. She decided to sign up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us to learn more and was later greeted at her home by Design Specialist Chuck Haldeman. Chuck inspected the basement and found the water damage on the wooden flooring that the homeowner was concerned with. He explained that our WaterGuard basement drain system would be the perfect solution for her situation and it would prevent future water problems from happening. Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew went to the site to carefully carry out the installation of the drains and the homeowner was very pleased with the final results.

A Wisconsin homeowner was growing frustrated with the state of the basement. A few weeks prior, he had been walking around his lower level when he stepped in a wet patch of carpet. He ripped up the carpeting to find that water was seeping into his basement. Worried about what this could mean about the health of his home, he decided to search for Wisconsin basement waterproofing companies. When he came across our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the property. 

Once Dustin completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dustin began by saying that the homeowner was right to get in touch with us. He went on to say that he wanted to use three of our products to address the water intrusion. First, Dustin wanted to utilize our Foamax Wall Panels.

Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. The wall insulation panel offers multiple benefits and high-performance features such as high insulation value, creating a warmer space, brightening your basement, doesn't require the basement to be finished, and draining wall leaks to premiere drainage systems. To complement this product, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard. This modern below-floor drain catches the water directed from the CleanSpace and any seepage entering through the floor. Then, it carries the water to an appropriate disposal site, which in this case, Dustin wanted to be our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable system, boasting three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner liked the sound of Dustin's plan and scheduled the project to be installed several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his team ended up installing 1 TripleSafe sump pump, 165 ft of WaterGuard, and 165 ft of Foamax. Now, our customers can enjoy a warm, dry, and healthy space!

A La Crosse, WI, homeowner had noticed an odd smell coming from his crawl space beneath the home. He was concerned about what this could mean for his home, so he quickly took to the web to search for best crawl space repair near me, and when our website popped up, he decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Dustin L, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After Dustin completed his inspection, he was ready to meet with the homeowner to discuss remedies for the problem. Dustin recommended two of our products to address the moisture in the space. First, Dustin wanted to cover the crawl space walls with our CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier. This durable, bright white crawl space liner is installed on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot. With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace® will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. Next, Dustin explained that crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain. The raised dimples on our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding your crawl space to your perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations, and several weeks later, the project began. 

Our Foreman, Jesus M, led his team through a precise, clean installation. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his crawl space is protected!

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had been reading a local newspaper when she saw one of our print ads for radon gas mitigation. She didn't know much about radon, so she took to the internet. What she found out was very disconcerting, so she decided to call us to schedule a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that this test works to record the radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan. After the test concludes, an average radon level will be delivered. Brad went on to say that if the levels came back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. He explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the system within the home. Now, our customer can have confidence in the air circulating in her home!

A homeowner in La Crosse WI, noticed their interior walls were cracking. Worried that this could have lasting damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner investigated “damaged basement wall repair near La Crosse, WI”. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our excellent product lineup, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for the job.  Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dustin, one of our Design Specialists. Dustin traveled to the home and thoroughly investigated the interior and exterior foundation. During his inspection, Dustin determined the foundation was beginning to settle and needed immediate assistance. Dustin recommended installing Push Piers and CarbonArmor strips to ensure the foundation walls are enforced. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Dustin’s recommendations. Once they received the stamp of approval from the homeowner, Dustin passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for the next month. After the date arrived, we sent our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew to begin the project. Jesus and his crew arrived at the home and started the installation. First, the crew installed Push Piers on the outside foundation. After the Push Piers were secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing CarbonArmor strips on the foundation walls. As soon as the CarbonArmor strips were secured, the crew started the WaterGuard installation. The crew secured the WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a 5-star review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist their homeowners in repairing their homes.
