Before & After Photos

Darwin and Geraldine D. had water coming into their basement through the floor, causing them to worry about the safety and value of their home. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to their home, carefully examined their water problems, and drew out a detailed proposal of the waterproofing costs. Darwin and Geraldine were confident in Mac's plan, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his production team began the project by breaking out the entire concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain, prevents mud and water clogs, and collects water leaks from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter. This vapor barrier is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover any holes or divots, and act as an extra blanket protectant. Lastly, Dylon and his team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners. It solves all three water problems in one system and provides three different layers of water protection. To complete the installation, our team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over them. Darwin and Geraldine were happy with the repairs and had a great experience!

A homeowner in Tomah, WI has an older home and water kept coming into their basement after a good rain. It appeared like there was mold on the walls also. They saw an American Waterworks commercial on television, so they called our office line and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Mac. After a thorough inspection and written proposal of our CleanSpace Wall System and WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, the homeowner got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his production team installed our CleanSpace Wall System and WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain around the entire basement floor and wall perimeter. Our WaterGuard serves as an underground drain, it prevents water and mud clogs, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Our CleanSpace is designed to prevent mold and mildew, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. The homeowner was thrilled with the completed work and was grateful we could help them fulfill their wants and needs!

A Tomah, WI, homeowner had been eyeing his basement walls for some time now. He could have sworn that, over time, the wall had slowly been showing signs of tilting inward. The homeowner didn't know of any local foundation repair companies, but on the recommendation of a friend, decided to call American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, one of our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the basement to examine the wall and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his results. 

He began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not from the side. So, when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, homeowners will see bowing, cracking, sliding in at the bottom, or tilting inward at the top. Our Design Specialist then reassured the homeowner that while this issue seems daunting, the solution is relatively simple and non-invasive. Our Design Specialist wanted to use our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. He explained that CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls. It's comprised of epoxy and carbon fiber to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. While this method does not restore a bowed wall, it will halt further movement and cracks. The homeowner was happy with our recommendation, and decided to sign on the spot. 
On the day of the installation, our crew, led by their Foreman Chris N, worked hard to install 7 CarbonArmor straps throughout the basement and on the wall in question. When the process had been completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know that he could put his foundation worries in the past! 

A homeowner in Tomah, WI, noticed their walls were uneven and cracked. Worried about the structure of their home, the homeowner began looking into "foundation repair near Tomah, WI". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. After reviewing our impressive before and after photo albums, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Chuck. Following his arrival, Chuck began his thorough inspection of the home. During the inspection, Chuck found that several walls were beginning to bow inward. To prevent the bowing from continuing, Chuck recommended installing CarbonArmor strips onto the walls. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Chuck's proposal. Once our Logistics team received the plans, they built and scheduled the project. The project was scheduled for the following months. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Diego and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Diego and his crew began by ensuring the walls were prepared for the installation. Next, Diego and his crew attached CarbonArmor strips to the damaged, bowing walls. Once the CarbonArmor strips were secured, the crew completed the project and cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. 
 

Cy S. in Viroqua, WI contacted American Waterworks because he had water in his basement and his new addition. He met with one of our Design Specialists, who proposed that the best solution was to install a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, 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. They also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to protect the room from moisture and potential mold growth. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their WaterGuard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump. Cy is pleased that his basement is now a dry, healthier space and he is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his home.
