Before & After Photos

Nancy K. in Riceville, IA was fed up with the water seeping into her basement. It was making the space damp and musty, and she was concerned about the health implications. She contacted us for a FREE estimate after seeing one of our commercials on TV. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to meet with Nancy, evaluate the situation, and propose a customized solution for her home. She approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew got to work and began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to make a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, spray foam insulation in the rim joists, and Foamax insulated panels on the walls. They completed the project with the installation of our SaniDry XP dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure Nancy’s basement will stay healthy, clean, and dry! 

Dean F. of Riceville, IA had water in his basement and he wanted to get it looked at before it got any worse. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh. Josh went to Dean's home, took a look at the water problems, and offered some options for Dean that would fit his needs and budget. He was confident in Josh's presentation and proposal, so he went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Aaron, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works hand in hand with the sump pump in order to pump water out of the basement quickly and efficiently. To complete the project, our team filled each floor gap with pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. The project went great and Dean was happy with the work!

Vicki M. of Mondovi, WI was having lots of water issues in her basement, making her worry about heavy thunderstorms. She got in contact with American Waterworks after doing some research on our website. Our Design Specialist, Chuck, went to Vicki's house, carefully inspected her basement, and determined a plan that would work for her and her needs. Vicki was confident in the proposal, so she signed the contract.

Our Foreman, Edgar, and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our WaterGuard is designed to prevent mud clogs, collect water seepage from basement walls, and guide water to the sump pump. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent water from seeping through the wall and reduce the chance of radon in the home. Vicki was happy with the work and was thrilled with the outcome!

Mrs. Fenner contacted American Waterworks after being tired of the same old leak in her basement every time it rained.  Our System Design Specialist, Chad, was able to design a comprehensive plan to avoid any future water damage by recommending 135 feet of WaterGuard and two SuperSump sump pumps. 

A property from Eau Claire, MN, had a rental property she needed an upgrade on. One of the lower-level rooms was to be used as a bedroom, but it was not up to code. Wanting to upgrade, the property owner began to search for how to replace basement egress wells online. When she found our website, she signed up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Chuck H, one of our Design Specialists headed out to the home. 

Chuck got right to work surveying the home and old window well. When he finished, he was ready to deliver his recommendations. Chuck recommended the installation of our RockWell window well. RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. Click the arrows below to learn more about the features and benefits of our egress window wells. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. Our egress window wells meet the IRC Egress Code Requirements, providing you and your family with a direct escape from any of the inhabited rooms in your basement. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the look and safety of our window well, and schedule the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his team were able to install the window well in no time. Now, our customer can rent out her property with confidence that the home is up to code!
