Before & After Photos

Bill B. in Rudd, IA noticed that the north side of his basement was taking on water during heavy rains. Bill had tried numerous quick fixes, but nothing he tried was a permanent solution. He decided to call the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with the best long-term solution. Bill was pleased with Mac’s thorough plan, so he scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system. They removed a section of the concrete floor around the perimeter and created a drainage trench. The WaterGuard is then placed within the trench and filled back with rock to fill the gaps. This keeps the drainage system out of the “mud zone”, where drains can clog. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump system which is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The water now properly flows through the drainage system and is then discharged from the home through the sump pump. Bill is now enjoying a dry, healthier basement!

Jack S. of Osage, IA had water leaking through the walls of his basement, causing deterioration and attraction to critters. He went online and came across our website, where he saw some information on our basement waterproofing products. He was confident in what he saw, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home, carefully inspected his problems, and drew out a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. After a thorough inspection, Jack was confident in Eric's plan, so he signed the contract and wrote out a deposit check. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump. Our crew replaced it with our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time, especially during harsh weather conditions. Once the replacement was completed, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement looked cleaner than when they found it.

Kathie B.'s limestone and brick foundation wall was deteriorating, but she was unsure how thick the layer of brick was and was not sure how to fix the issue. She got in contact with our team at American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate to get her deteriorated wall inspected. Our Design Specialist proposed our Wall Recovery System, which is a special system that our team developed. Kathie got all of her questions answered about the product, so she signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 238 square feet of our Wall Recovery System to repair and rebuild the failing wall. This system is two times stronger than concrete and can be installed in one day. Kathie was thrilled with the work and was beautified by the transformation!

A homeowner in Osage, IA had some concerns about the old sump pump in her utility room because she had checked it recently and noticed there was waste inside. She knew this wasn't a good sign, so she went online in hopes of finding a waterproofing service in her area. The American Waterworks company website stood out to her because of our 3 sump pump system and FREE no-obligation estimates, so she signed up for her own. One of our Service Technicians, Julio Murillo, later arrived at the home to inspect the current sump pump and prepare his recommendation. Julio suggested that our TripleSafe sump pump system be installed because it is the most reliable water pumping system with triple the protection of a normal pump. The homeowner was relieved to hear that something could be done and agreed to the installation. Later, one of our Foremen, Diego Barrientos, went to the site to carry out the installation. The homeowner was impressed with the work our team members did and glad she had contacted us for help on this project.

Heather C. Of Durand, WI had water leaking from the walls of her basement, causing her to worry about water moisture and mold build-up. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin.

Heather got all of her questions answered and was confident in Dustin's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is made to prevent water and mud clogs, collect all water seepage from basement walls, and serve as an underground drain in coordination with the sump pump. Next, Raul and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew and gives the basement a clean and neat appearance. To complete the project, our team covered the open floor gaps with pea gravel and applied new gravel over them. Heather was happy with the work that was completed and had a great experience!
