Before & After Photos

Ms. Nolte had a deteriorating foundation wall at her home in Dexter, MN. Design Specialist, Rick Weber, developed a plan to restore her wall by spraying on our wall recovery solution to prevent any further deterioration. 

Bill L. in Saint Ansgar, WI had a bowing wall in his basement, so he started looking into repair options. While researching foundation repair, he came across American Waterworks’ website. He contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. Pete recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize Bill’s foundation wall. Bill agreed and was pleased with the proposal that Pete developed, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled small holes in the wall and inserted long metal rods. The metal rods extend through the wall and into the soil outside of the home. Then, the rod is secured with metal plates on each end. They tighten the anchors and the wall starts to straighten and stabilize. The anchors can be tightened over time so that the foundation wall gradually becomes straighter and straighter. Our wall anchors are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bill is glad he chose the right solution to secure his home for the long-term.

Geri T. of Saint Ansgar, IA had a cracked retaining wall and he wanted to get it repaired by a local contractor. He called American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared. Jared went to Geri's house, carefully inspected the cracked wall, and proposed our Wall Anchor System. Geri was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project.

Robert H. of Menomonie, WI had cracked a cracked foundation wall in his basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. Our office staff got in contact with him and set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Tim Schneider. Tim went to his home, examined the wall, and drew out a design and plan of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Robert was confident in the proposal and got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by digging small holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. Our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Wall Anchor. Our wall anchor system is made to stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation and pulling them back to their original position. To complete the project, our crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Juan and his crew made sure Robert was happy with the repairs and answered all of his questions! 

Nick E. of Menomonie, WI had cracked and bowing foundation walls, causing him to worry about the stability of his home. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck went to Nick's home, carefully inspected his walls, and determined a solution that would work for him and his needs. Chuck proposed our ShotLock Repair System and our PowerBraces Foundation Repair System, both of which are designed to repair foundation structures. Nick was confident in our systems, so he followed through with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his production team applied our ShotLock solution along the entire backside wall. Our ShotLock is a special spray-on solution that rebuilds deteriorating foundation walls and is twice as strong as standard concrete. It also gives the wall a smooth, polished finish. Next, Matt and his team installed our PowerBraces along the east and west foundation wall. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and give them the potential to straighten them over time. After a two-day completion, Nick said he had a great experience with Matt and his crew!
