Before & After Photos

A Plainview, MN, homeowner noticed that each time it rained, he could see tiny droplets of water entering his basement walls and eventually resting on his basement floor. Not wanting the issue to persist, he reached out to American Waterworks, as we had done work on his home before. He called our office to claim a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed to the home. 

Ryan took his time inspecting the basement, and when he finished, he met with the homeowners to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that because of how and where the water was entering, he was recommending two of our products to address the problem. First, Ryan wanted to install our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. He explained that our WaterGuard is a unique French drain that gets installed below the floor slab but atop the footing of the foundation of the home. This way, the drain stays out of the mud zone, where other drains of its kind tend to clog. It works to collect water entering through the floor and the wall, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. Because the homeowner had a previous system installed, Ryan informed him that the WaterGuard could be connected to their existing sump pump. Next, Ryan wanted to use our CleanSpace to address the water entering through the wall. This 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is the perfect solution for unfinished basement walls. The plastic-like material gets adhered directly to the walls, and works to direct water down into the WaterGuard, and eventually to the sump pump. The homeowner liked that the new recommended system could work with the previously installed sump pump, and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Production team, led by their Foreman, Jorge M, installed 150 ft of WaterGuard and 146ft of CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy their dry, healthy space!

Richard R. in Floyd, IA had water leaking into his basement. He started searching for waterproofing contractors and he found the American Waterworks website. He was glad to see that we are waterproofing experts, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Mike developed a waterproofing plan that best fit Richard’s needs, so Richard scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation process by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. They laid a partial perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement floor. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump and filled the void around the sump pump and WaterGuard with rock. Lastly, they replaced the concrete over the WaterGuard and around the sump pump. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Richard can rest easy knowing that water will no longer be in his basement. He is glad he chose to invest in protecting his home for years to come.

Roxy C. of Dumont, IA had water leaking in the corner of her basement, causing her to feel uncomfortable in her own home.

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete in the corner of the basement and installing our SuperSump Plus M53 Sump Pump. Edgar and his grew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Roxy had a great experience from start to finish, and no longer has to worry about water leaks! 

John and Tanya H. of Eyota, MN had water leaking into her basement, causing her to worry about the condition of her basement. They had American Waterworks install one of our basement waterproofing systems to waterproof and keep the basement dry. Our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is a protective barrier that prevents water from seeping through basement walls and reduces the chances of radon in the home. John and Tanya were absolutely thrilled with the work and had a wonderful experience with our team! John and Tanya said the team communicated well, was professional and were very happy with how hard they worked!

A farmer in McIntire, IA, noticed their grain pit was uneven. Worried about the lasting effects, the homeowners knew they needed to find a solution. Hoping to avoid concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into alternative concrete repair methods. The homeowner looked into "concrete lifting near McIntire, IA" and came across our website. After taking a closer look at the services we provide, the homeowner knew we were the right choice for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for Nate, one of our Design Specialists, to arrive. Once Nate arrived at the home, he began his thorough investigation of the affected concrete. To stop the concrete from sinking further, Nate recommended lifting it with our PolyLevel solution. Once the homeowner learned about the PolyLevel installation process, they decided to go ahead with Nate's plan. Next, Nate passed the plans to our Logistics team to build the project. Our Logistics team built the project, scheduled it, and then assigned it to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. Patrick and his crew traveled to the home and began the PolyLevel installation. The crew lifted the entire grain pit back to its original level. Once all the products were installed, the crew was able to clean up their materials and leave the home. The farmer was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist farmers repair their damaged and sinking grain pits and bins.
