Before & After Photos

Lloyd H. of Cottage Grove, MN was having foundation problems and he was seeing signs of moisture. He saw one of our vehicles driving around his area, so he called our office number and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Lloyd's home, proposed our Wall Recovery System solution, which is a company-based product that is two times stronger than cement and repairs deteriorating foundation walls. Lloyd was confident in the product, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew applied this spray-on solution around the entire foundation wall perimeter, ensuring the foundation was repaired and no more water moisture was appearing. Lloyd was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored.

Laura S. of Cottage Grove, MN was interested in getting an Egress Window installed in her basement. She heard about the great work that American Waterworks does, so she scheduled a FREE estimate with our team. She was confident in the bid and placement of the window, so she got a date scheduled for the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew measured and broke out the space for the window, installed the window, applied spray foam and caulk around the window sill to prevent air flow, and ensured that Laura was happy with the work that was done and all expectations were met.

Jamie and Mary D. of Northfield, MN had water leaking into their basement, making them feel nervous about living in their home. They heard from their neighbor about American Waterworks so they called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, carefully examined the basement, and came up with a solution and design that they could understand. Jamie and Mary were both very comfortable with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team began the project by cutting out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, cover any holes or divots, and serve as an extra wall protectant. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, Dylon and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jamie was very happy with the project and had a remarkable experience from beginning to end! 

A homeowner from Northfield, MN got in contact with us when they suspected their home was infested with Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that occurs as the soil around the foundation of your home breaks down. Our customers knew that Radon has become the second-leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. He knew that if the issue was left unresolved, he could run the risk of severely compromising his and his family's health. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Jarrett headed out to the house to test the levels. Jarrett completed a charcoal test, which consists of leaving a small kit behind in the home for 48-72 hours, after which the levels of Radon can be gauged. Once the test came back, the Radon levels in the home showed to be over 9 pCi/L. We recommend taking action with levels at 4 pCi/L or above, as 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes a day. Jarrett recommended that our customer strongly consider having a Radon Mitigation system installed. He explained that this system works to pull Radon from the home, pipe it upwards through an installed vent, and expel it outward and away from the home. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Dakota, and his team installed the system quickly and efficiently, and now our customer is happy to know that he no longer has to worry about Radon harming him or his family. 

A Northfield, MN, resident had just learned about radon and the dangers it could pose to his family. He decided to look for reputable radon contractors in MN and eventually found our website. He was impressed by the work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Darin S, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Part of Darin's inspection was leaving behind a radon charcoal test on the lower level of the home. This test works to gauge the average radon levels in the home over a period of 48 hours, after which time homeowners are responsible for sending their tests to a pre-determined business that delivers the results. Darin explained that while radon can be dangerous, American Waterworks can offer a solution. If the results came back higher than 4 piC/L, Darin wanted to install a radon mitigation system. He explained that these machines work to pull dangerous radon from the home, piping it upward through PVC to the top of the home, where it expels the radon out and away from the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's suggestion but decided to wait until their radon test came back. 

When the test returned, the homeowner decided to install the mitigation system. On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team installed the system in no time. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing he has clean air circulating in his home!
