A homeowner in Fargo, ND, read an article discussing the dangers of radon in their home. Concerned that their home's levels were high, the homeowner began searching for a company to test their radon levels. The homeowner did not have to look far, since American Waterworks was based in Fargo, ND. After reviewing our impressive ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. Upon arrival, Jackson completed the radon test and inspected the crawl space. Jackson confirmed that the radon levels were higher in the home and the crawl space required a full encapsulation. Once the test and inspection were completed, Jackson could provide the homeowner with a solution. After hearing Jackson's recommendations, the homeowner knew it was the right plan of action. Next, Jackson passed the plans along to our Logisitcs team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and approved the plans, and then they were sent back to Jackson to complete the project. Then, Jackson took the prepared plans and traveled back to the home to begin the installation. Jackson arrived at the home and started by installing the Radon Mitigation System. Next, Jackson shifted his focus to encapsulating the crawl space. To encapsulate the space, Jackson used Drainage Matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the damaged space. Once the crawl space was properly encapsulated, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist homeowners in repairing their damaged crawl spaces and property mitigating radon.

A homeowner in Waseca, MN, had water leaking into his basement and cracks forming along the walls which concerned him about the potential damage to his home. He quickly began searching for services in the area and came upon American Waterworks through our website. After browsing our Before and After photos of Waterproofing Basements and Foundation Repair, he contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled a date with one of our experts.

Our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home and conducted a thorough inspection of the basement. He explained that one of the causes of a wet basement is the "clay bowl" effect. When excavated soil is replaced around a completed foundation, it isn't as dense and tightly packed as undisturbed soil further away. As a result, when it rains, water collects in the soil, putting pressure on foundation walls and causing it to crack. Water then forces itself through the cracks into the basement. To address this issue, Lance recommended our GeoLock anchors, CarbonArmor, WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, and CleanSpace. The homeowner was happy to proceed, and Lance's design was sent to our Foreman, Diego B. 

Our Foreman, Jesus C., and Diego B., and their crew arrived at the home on separate days for the installations. To waterproof the basement, the crew installed 127 feet of WaterGuard. These are placed around the perimeter of the basement by hammering into the floor. Next, rocks are placed in the holes, and the WaterGuard is positioned on the top, connecting to the sump pump. Once set, the concrete is poured back on top of the installation. The TripleSafe sump pump provides three levels of protection for your basement. One pump is installed at the lowest level, capable of discharging 2,200 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is installed a little bit higher to act as a backup if the primary pump fails or is overwhelmed with heavy water. The third pump is installed at the highest level in case of power outages. Additionally, two IceGuards were installed outside the home to eject water away from the foundation. Our IceGuards are designed not to freeze during cold temperatures, unlike traditional discharge lines. The crew also installed CleanSpace, a plastic wall vapor barrier, on the walls to prevent mold growth. In total, they installed a total of 127 feet of CleanSpace. For foundation repair, the crew installed 18 GeoLock wall anchors. The anchors are installed by digging a hole in undisturbed soil several feet away from the foundation. The first GeoLock anchor is placed inside and attached to the interior wall, with both anchors connected by a small steel pole. The GeoLocks permanently stabilize the foundation walls and can be adjusted to straighten the walls over time. Finally, 7 CarbonArmors were installed on the remaining walls. The installation process involves cleaning the walls, applying epoxy, and securing the CarbonArmor straps on top. After everything was installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home, leaving the homeowner with peace of mind.
