Before & After Photos

John from Wheaton, MN was beginning to suspect that his sump pump was in need of an update. He noticed that the system wasn't performing as it used to, and as a result, unwanted water was finding its way into the lower levels of his home. John was afraid that the water would cause a more expensive issue to fix down the road if it wasn't properly addressed. He came across our business and decided to give us a call. We set John up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Ian recommended our TripleSafe sump pump to replace the older model. Ian explained that the TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. John agreed with his recommendations and work began weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, installed the new sump pump with no issues. Now John can head into the wetter months without worrying that his sump pump isn't equipped to handle large amounts of water. 

John, a homeowner in Wheaton, MN, needed a solution for his basement water issues. With heavy rainfall, water entered the basement where the floor and foundation meet, and egress windows were filling up with water. After looking around he went on the American Waterworks website and we set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the leaks and devise a solution. John got all of his questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so he moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman and his production crew started the installation by completing a half-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East wall of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Zachary and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Are you having water problems in your basement?

Next, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System was implemented in the basement. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. The TripleSafe Sump Pump also comes with a battery backup which helps when the home may lose power; the sump pump will still function and drain the excess water. To complete the project, the team covered the gaps with engineer fill, preventing soil from entering the Sump Basket and damaging the Pump System. Then they apply a new layer of concrete to give a finishing look. Finally, the team worked to fix the leaky basement windows with the WellDuct® Basement Window System to redirect flooding to a perimeter drain or drywell.

Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that his basement had been transformed and he no longer had to worry about water intrusion! 

In Wheaton, MN, a homeowner had learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US and can be found in any household. Concerned that their family was breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner tested their home for radon. In a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner quickly took action by contacting us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Our radon mitigation system works by having a PVC pipe installed through the footing of the home and connecting it to the fan installed at the exterior of the home. This is designed this way so that our system effectively suction out the radon gas beneath the home and expels it above the roofline. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, Jackson arrived back at the home for the installation. Once the system was successfully installed, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind that they are breathing clean air! Looking for radon mitigation installers? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

A homeowner in Hope, ND, decided to investigate the status of the crawl space in their home. As soon as they entered the crawlspace, dust and dirt erupted in their face. Disgusted with the status of the crawlspace, the homeowner wanted to encapsulate it. After seeing a before and after advertisment on Facebook, the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to investigate the status of the crawlspace. Following his evaluation, Kole suggested utilizing Foamax and CleanSpace to close off the crawlspace. The homeowners agreed and we sent our crews out. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew started by removing the plastic and insulation on the walls. Then, the crew removed any debris in the crawl space. Once the crawlspace was cleaned out, the crew installed drainage matting and laid CleanSpace to seal the crawl space. Next, the crew applied Foamax on all interior foundation walls except where the crawlspace and basement meet. Finally, the crew applied SprayFoam on the exterior walls, except where the crawlspace and basement met. Once the installation was complete, the homeowners were pleased that their crawlspace was encapsulated. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for a FREE estimate today!
