Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, knew it was time to have a professional inspect their bowing and cracked foundation. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their friends, who had a similar issue, for any recommendations. The friend referred them to work with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. The homeowner was impressed with our work, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent Brady, one of our Design Specialists, to take a closer look. Brady arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Brady discovered the south foundation wall bowing significantly and needed to be permanently stabilized. Brady presented his proposal to the homeowner and they agreed with his plan. Next, Brady passed the proposal to the office to be finalized. Once they were given the final stamp of approval, the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew to begin the project. Raul and his crew traveled to the home and started by installing four GeoLock Wall anchors along the south foundation wall. Once the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew installed 7 CarbonArmor strips along the east and west walls. Once both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the basement better than they arrived. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing this basement was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners relief knowing their home was secured from possible wall failure.  

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, was concerned after discovering their sump pump was not pumping water properly. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution before another heavy rainstorm. The homeowner had recently seen American Waterworks working on projects around Cresco, so they decided to look closer at our company. After seeing our impressive line-up, the homeowner knew we were the best choice for their home. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists. Ryan arrived at the home and started his detailed inspection around and in the basement. Once he completed the inspection, Ryan confirmed that the sump pump needed replacing. Ryan recommended installing the TripleSafe and an IceGuard to ensure the flooding risk doesn't occur. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations, and the plans were sent to our Logistics team to build the project. Once they gave the final stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Diego, and his crew to begin. Diego and his crew traveled to the home and started by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump pump was removed, the crew installed the TripleSafe. Next, the crew went outside and installed an outside discharge line. Additionally, the crew attached an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to replace its homeowners' struggling sump pumps.  

Glen B. in Waverly, IA had been suffering from a wet basement for quite some time and decided it was time that he took action to protect his basement. During heavy rains, large amounts of water would leak into his basement and it had damaged his property, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Glen liked the proposal that Mac presented, so he decided to move forward with having our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement floor. Then, they installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our WaterGuard drainage system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Glen is confident that he chose the right waterproofing solution to protect his basement.

Myron S. in Peterson, MN was experiencing water seeping into his basement. The water had started pooling and had nowhere to go. He was concerned about the damage this could cause and that water would keep coming in with each rainfall. He came across an advertisement for American Waterworks in the local newspaper and was pleased to find that we are experts in waterproofing.

He contacted us to set up a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to evaluate the situation and create a solution specific for him. Our Design Specialist determined that Myron would benefit from our WaterGuard drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump. Myron felt that our recommendation was the best plan for him, so he decided to move forward with the installation. 

Our production team installed 30 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the SuperSump sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping his basement dry. Myron also chose to have a battery backup installed to give him even more peace of mind. Myron can rest easy knowing that he chose a permanent waterproofing solution to protect his home.

Beverly K. in Peterson, MN had water seeping through the walls into her basement which was starting to cause serious damage to the foundation and creating a musty smell. She was concerned about the air quality of her home and started to do some research. She learned that American Waterworks is the leading contractor in basement waterproofing and gave us a call. We sent our Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit her needs and goals. She approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and the production crew got to work. They started the installation by removing the concrete and laying 119 feet of the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed the sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Beverly also had a SaniDry XP Dehumidifer installed to ensure her basement was protected from excess moisture. The SaniDry XP removes up to 109 liters of water per day and is more powerful and energy efficient than ever! Beverly is glad she made the investment to protect her home.
