Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Charles City, IA, noticed their floors were sagging. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner wanted to find answers. The homeowner took a deep dive into companies that could diagnose and solve their issue. The homeowner knew of a neighbor with a similar problem, so they asked them for any recommendations. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. After looking at our services, the homeowner knew we were the best choice, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to take a closer look at the sinking floor. Brady arrived at the home, introduced himself, and began the detailed inspection of the home's structure. During his inspection, Brady discovered that the floors were sagging due to poor support. Brady recommended stabilizing and leveling the floors with SmartJacks. The homeowner agreed with Brady's proposal, so he passed the plans on to our Logistics team to approve the project. Once the Logistics team built the project, they assigned the proposal to our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew. After receiving the plans, Tremaine and his crew arrived in Charles City and started the SmartJack installation. Tremaine and his crew installed five SmartJack support beams along the south basement wall. Once the SmartJacks were secured, the crew completed the project and cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was thankful to know their floors were properly secured. American Waterworks is happy to assist its homeowners in protecting their largest investment.

Doug S. in Altoona, WI was getting ready to sell his home, but he was concerned about the two cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He knew that if he did not repair the foundation, it would drastically reduce the value of the home. A friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks to help with his foundation problem, so he gave us a call for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect his foundation walls and to provide him with a solution. Doug was pleased with the thorough proposal that Jeremy developed, so they scheduled the installation of our foundation repair system.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 10 wall anchors total (5 on each cracked wall). They drilled holes through the brick walls and inserted long metal rods. Next, they secure the metal rod with plates on each end. Took a full day, but our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Doug has peace of mind that he chose the right solution to protect the foundation of the home. He no longer has to be concerned about losing value on the home because he took the appropriate measures to prepare for putting it on the market.

Jeremy, from Altoona, WI, got in contact with us when he noticed a crack in the foundation of his home was worsening over time. He was afraid that if he didn't fix the issue, water would begin to enter through the crack, causing expensive damage to his home. When he contacted us, he used his FREE estimate, entitling him to a 3-hour thorough inspection by a member of our Sales team. Our Design Specialist, Chuck, headed out to the property to inspect the damage and see how we could help Jeremy. Once Chuck completed his walkthrough, he recommended our helical piers to address the failing foundation. He explained that our helical piers have helical plates welded to the pier shaft, helping to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. They have a great deal of versatility for stabilizing and restoring foundation or masonry elements. Chuck wanted to address any further structural issues with our GeoLock wall anchors. He told Jeremy that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize the foundation by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. Once installed, this system can be tightened over time if needed. Jeremy agreed to the proposed solution and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew ended up installing 10 helical piers along the Northern part of the wall. The crew installed 5 GeoLock anchors along the same wall and finished the job by sealing the crack forming in the foundation to keep unwanted water out.

When the work was done, Jeremy was happy with the work we had done and was relieved to know that his foundation worries were a thing of the past!

Rich A. in Altura, MN contacted us regarding his severely cracked garage walls. The garage was built on a hill and the soil was shifting, causing damage to the foundation of the garage. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to provide him with a FREE, onsite inspection.

Mac designed a solution to permanently repair the foundation of his garage by using wall anchors and power braces. Rich liked the proposal that Mac presented to him, so he decided to move forward and have our foundation repair system installed.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling small holes into the brick walls and inserting metal rods. Then, they secured the rods with anchors. Once the anchors were completely tightened, they could see a dramatic improvement in the stability of the walls. The walls had started to straighten and there were no longer cracks. Lastly, we sealed the walls with Silverglo and SentrySeal which ensure that water will not seep through the wall. Our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Rich is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his garage for the long-term.
