Before & After Photos

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! 

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.

A homeowner in Viroqua, WI, noticed various wet spots throughout their basement. Knowing they needed professional assistance, the homeowners began searching for the best waterproofing company near them. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner read previous job stories and was convinced we were the best company to work with. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin, to check out the basement. Dustin arrived and introduced himself to the homeowner. The homeowner directed Dustin to the problem area in the basement. After completing his walkthrough of the basement, Dustin was able to provide the homeowner with a recommended solution. Dustin suggested installing CleanSpace and an Aprilaire in the muggy basement. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations and the plans were sent to our Logistics team for approval. Once they earned the stamp of approval, the plans were directed to our Foreman, Francisco, and his crew. Francisco and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, they began by installing CleanSpace on all the basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, they shifted their focus to installing an Aprilaire in the home. Once the Aprilaire was secured into place, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was pleased with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to dehumidify another home. 

For a few months, a Viroqua, MN, homeowner had noticed a strange odor wafting through his home. Try as he might, he could not locate the source of the odor. One night it occurred to the homeowner that the odor might be coming from the crawl space beneath his home. Worried that it might be a deceased pest, he quickly began looking into crawl space repairs near Viroqua, WI. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ross J, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Ross arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the crawl space to see what the issue was. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner and informed him that there were no dead pests he needed to worry about. Rather, a different kind of nightmare, his crawl space was taking on unwanted water, leading to the formation of mildew and an unpleasant odor. Ross went on to say that he believed we could fix the issue and the leaky crawl space with the help of several of our products. Ross began by recommending our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto unfinished walls. It works to catch water entering through small holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into our drainage matting, dimpled matting that provides a channel for water to flow to a disposal site, keeping it off the floor and properly draining the crawl space of water. Finally, Ross recommended our SmartDrain, a useful device that alerts homeowners to a leak with an audible alarm, and drains the water away to a drywell under the CleanSpace liner to protect against property damange. The homeowner was thrilled with Ross's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

When the project day rolled around, our Foreman, Raul B, and his team successfully installed 475 sqft of CleanSpace and 352 sqft of Drainage Matting. When the job was completed, our customer was thrilled to know he could put his damp crawl space worries behind him!
