Before & After Photos

Sue A. in Sparta, WI was tired of dealing with a wet basement after heavy rains and snow melt. She had an older basement, and the water was seeping in through the small cracks where the wall meets the floor. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to meet with her and evaluate the situation. Rick designed a thorough plan and assured Sue that our waterproofing system would provide a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Bryan’s basement by first removing the concrete around the inside perimeter of the basement. Next, they installed 78 feet of our WaterGuard drainage System and our SuperSump sump pump. Then, they installed two feet of our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls, filled the gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard, to the SuperSump, and is quietly, and efficiently discharged from the home. Sue was thrilled with the results, and glad she chose to invest in a permanent solution for her home.  

Janice B. in Necedah, WI noticed a foul smell and rust-colored water building up in her yard and seeping into her basement, clogging the sump pump. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to her home to evaluate her situation. He discovered that Janice had a buildup of iron ochre in her old sump pump and outside her home. He explained that it is not a known health hazard but can quickly clog a French drain system and cause damage to pipes and plumbing systems. He presented her with our WaterGuard IOS Perimeter Drain Channel, which is ideal for managing this problem. Janice was impressed with Rick’s presentation and our products and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew replaced her old sump pump and installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and can easily take on the challenge of iron ochre. Our sump pumps are able to pump out ½" solids without clogging. Janice was impressed with the installation and is happy knowing her sump pump is free of iron ochre infiltration. 

A homeowner in Genoa, WI, noticed an odd smell throughout their home. Unsure where the source of the smell was coming from, the homeowner began investigating their home. The homeowner discovered the smell was coming from their crawl space. Worried this could mean larger issues, the homeowner knew they needed professional assistance. The homeowner looked into "crawl space repair near Genoa, WI" and several companies populated. However, only one company stood above the rest, American Waterworks. After reading about our crawl space repair and encapsulation services, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Trevor, one of our Design Specialists. Trevor arrived at the home and started his detailed investigation of the crawl space. During his investigation, Trevor confirmed the smell was coming from the crawl space and it needed to be encapsulated. Trevor presented his solution to the homeowner and they agreed. The plans were sent to our office for approval, then to our Foreman, Diego, and his crew. Once they received the plans, Diego and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, the crew began by laying CleanSpace on the crawl space floor and walls. Next, the crew attached Foamax to the crawl space walls. After the Foamax was secured, the crew installed spray foam near the top of the walls. Diego and his crew successfully encapsulated the entire crawl space, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate their customer's crawl spaces. 

David and Heidi L. of Coon Valley, WI had their annual service appointment with our Service Technician, Darin. Darin examined their system and ensured everything was working properly. David and Heidi had water leaking into their basement, so Darin proposed our WaterGuard Drainage System to repair their problem. After a clear explanation about the product, its functions, and its warranty, David and Heidi were confident in the system, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. To complete the installation, our team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. David and Heidi were happy with the work that was done, and were grateful we were able to serve them and their basement waterproofing needs!

Marvin L. in Bangor, WI was tired of dealing with the water seeping into his basement. It was beginning to cause him stress, and he wanted a permanent solution. He contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose the best, cost-effective solution for his home. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Then, the crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls and our SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. With our CleanSpace installed, any water seepage coming through the wall will be directed down into the drainage system. Marvin is happy with the results and glad he chose a permanent solution for his home!
