Before & After Photos

Jennifer from Echo, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that her basement wall was showing signs of cracking, an indicator of wall failure. She didn't want to wait any longer to fix the issue so she called our office. We set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a free, no-obligation inspection of the issue. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. He informed her that these anchors are ideal for bowing or cracking walls because they are anchored to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home, pulling the wall back into place. Jennifer agreed with Eric's recommendation and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Design Specialist, Raul, and his crew worked to install the anchors on the problem wall in the basement. Once the job was complete, they installed 4 of our GeoLock anchors. Now Jennifer can enjoy her basement without worrying about her home's structural integrity! 

A homeowner in Sherburn, MN, knew it was time to have the large crack in their foundation wall inspected by a professional. Not sure who to work with, the homeowner asked some friends for recommendations. Several of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our site and was impressed by foundation repair services, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. Once he arrived, Dylan began his detailed inspection of the foundation wall and basement. Following his inspection, Dylan determined that the foundation walls required permanent stabilization. Dylan also warned the homeowners if this goes unfixed, the wall will eventually fail. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's recommendations, and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew made their way out to the home to begin the project. First, the crew prepared the basement for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. On the north wall, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors. Additionally, the homeowners requested to have the tightening kit included with the GeoLocks. The crew completed the installation and cleaned up their site. The homeowners were grateful to know their walls were no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to give another customer peace of mind. 

Rod B. of Breckenridge, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement, making him consider the value of his home. He did some research online and came across our FREE Estimate request form on our website. Our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, went to his home to inspect his problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough diagnosis, Rod felt comfortable with Rick's proposal, so he scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the installation by digging 6 holes in the backyard. Next, they inserted a long, metal rod from the inside of the foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. Then, our crew tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the ends of each rod to straighten and pull the foundation wall back to its normal position. Our wall anchors can be tightened over time by the homeowner to be sure they are still functioning properly. To complete the project, Juan and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil.

Mike, from West Fargo, ND, gave us a call when he began to notice his poured concrete basement wall was beginning to crack and tilt, showing signs of the beginning of wall failure. Mike knew that if he left the issue unresolved it would compromise the structural integrity of the home, and could potentially cost more later down the road. When he called in, he used his FREE estimate, entitling him to a free thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists, in which they diagnose the issue and make recommendations to fix it. Richie, one of our Fargo-based Design Specialists, headed out to Mike's property shortly after his appointment was set. Once he completed his thorough inspection he recommended that Mike invests in our PowerBrace wall repair system. Richie explained to Mike that this particular system consists of strategically installing several I-beams throughout the space. He went on to say that these beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments, but that the system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter or more vertical. Mike agreed with Richie's recommendations and work began shortly after. One of our Fargo Foreman, Cameron, and his crew were able to begin the installations shortly after. The team ended up placing 12 strategically placed PowerBrace beams along the basement wall. 

When the work was completed, Mike was happy to know he no longer had to worry about his basement wall! 

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND, grew extremely worried when they noticed their foundation walls were cracked and beginning to lean inward. Anxious about the structural status of their foundation, the homeowner wanted to find a permanent solution. Hoping to stay local, the homeowner looked into foundation repair options based in Fargo, ND. The homeowner looked into "West Fargo foundation problems" and the first company to show up was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our foundation repair products, the homeowner knew we were the best choice for them. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kole, to the home. Kole arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Kole found that all the foundation walls were struggling and required permanent stabilization. Kole told the homeowner of his findings and recommended permanently stabilizing all their foundation walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed with Kole's recommendations. Once they were approved, Kole sent the plans to the office and then they were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley. After receiving the plans, Kingsley and his crew traveled to West Fargo and began the installation. Kingsley and his crew installed 24 PowerBraces throughout the entire basement foundation. Once all the PowerBraces were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was no longer at risk of failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their foundation is secured.
