Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Garner, IA recently moved to a new home and was concerned after noticing their sump pump ran constantly. They had previously installed a TripleSafe SumpPump in their old home and were thrilled with its performance, so they decided to call American Waterworks for peace of mind.

Wayne R. in Lake Mills, IA had a sump pump that was unable to keep up with the amount of water that was leaking into his basement. He was hoping to find a sump pump that was able to handle the water, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent Dylan Woitas, one of our Design Specialists, to his home to inspect the problem to first hand and recommend a solution. Wayne enjoyed working with Dylan and was pleased with his solution, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump. The process only took half a day. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump with three levels of protection. Wayne now has peace of mind that his basement is protected by our durable sump pump system.

There's no greater solution to a wet basement than a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system combined with a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation system as you will see in this before and after from another satisfied customer in Kenyon, MN.  

One of the key ingredients in this project was the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting in through their foundation. 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.

Daniel Y. of Hammond, WI had his windows blocked and wanted to provide more lighting in his basement with heavy-duty windows. Once he found out American Waterworks installs windows, he gave us a call for a Free Estimate to check out the property. We sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to inspect the basement to determine which window would work best. After all of Daniel's questions were answered and told Chad he wanted three windows, he went ahead with the project and scheduled the installation date. 

Our foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew began the installation by digging the wall pavement out in three spots. They measured all of the edges and sides to make sure that our EverLast Basement Windows would fit properly. Then, they trimmed off any leftover rigid edges to make the finishing touch nice and smooth. Our EverLast Basement Windows are double-paned, energy-efficient, and provide an elegant look to a refurbished basement! Daniel was very satisfied with the outcome and is looking forward to having American Waterworks be his go-to for future projects! 

Kathy W. of River Falls, WI had water leaking from her windows into her basement, and she wanted to get it fixed up before she began the moving stage. A realtor referred American Waterworks to her for our basement waterproofing repair products. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home, inspected her basement and windows, and drew out a detailed plan that Kathy could understand. She was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the process by cutting out the pre-existing window and replacing it with our EverLast Basement Window. These special windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed, and double-paneled and are made to replace outdated wood-framed windows. Next, our crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Lastly, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold or humidity build-up and cover any holes or divots in the wall. To complete the project, Juan and his crew covered the open gaps with rock, flattened them out, and replaced the concrete. Kathy was and still is a satisfied customer!
