Channel Anchors Stabilize Foundation Wall in Durand, WI

Jon K. in Durand, WI had a cracked and bowing basement wall that was only getting worse over time. He started doing some research online and came across the American Waterworks website. He was happy to learn that we’ve been successfully repairing foundations for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to evaluate the situation and propose the best solution. Jon was impressed with our products and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew were able to stabilize the foundation wall with the installation of 5 Geo-Lock Channel Anchors. Channel Anchors are installed with minimal disturbance to the lawn and landscaping and mount to the foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. Jon was impressed with the quick installation and is glad he made the investment to protect his home!

Foundation Repaired in Durand, WI

Gerald B. of Durand, WI needed foundation repair work as soon as possible before it got worse. He did some research online and came across American Waterworks. He called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Charles Haldeman. Charles went to his home, inspected his foundation and came up with a solution that fit his needs and budget. Gerald went ahead with the proposal and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team installed our ShotLock around the entire wall perimeter of the basement. Our ShotLock is a spray-on solution made to demolish and rebuild a deteriorating foundation. It is faster and less expensive than a foundation replacement, it restores the safety and property value with minimum disturbance to the home, and it is a fully warrantied repair. Gerlad was thrilled with the work and had a remarkable experience!

Sagging Crawl Space in Racine, MN

Bridget M. in Racine, MN noticed that her floor had started sagging and realized that it was because her crawl space was not properly supported. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space repair solutions. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to her home to inspect her crawl space and recommend a solution. Bridget was pleased with Dustin’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our crew installed 12 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam in her crawl space to raise the floor back to its original position and provide permanent support. Our SmartJacks are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bridget is confident that she chose the best long-term option to support her crawl space.

Settling Deck in Rochester, MN

Stephen S. in Rochester, MN found that his deck had started settling and putting pressure on their home. He was worried about the damage that it was causing to the structure of his home, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to inspect the situation and to find a solution for him. We recommended installing a helical pier under each deck post to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. Stephen agreed that that was the best solution to his foundation problem, so we scheduled an installation as soon as possible. 

Our crew installed 3 helical piers to support the deck and relieve the stress that it was putting on their home. The project took a couple of days, but since our piers are backed with a lifetime warranty, Stephen will reap the benefits of this project for years to come. He is pleased with the work was done and he is glad that he made the investment to protect the foundation of their home.
