Before & After Photos

Desiree S. was suffering from a wet basement and a damaged foundation wall. The wall had multiple cracks, was bowing inward, and water was seeping through. She did her research and was glad to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for 30 years! She contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a permanent solution to fit her needs. 

We were able to restore Desiree’s basement by installing Geo-lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation, which immediately halted the deterioration and began to straighten the wall. Then our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. These waterproofing products work together to keep her basement a dry and healthy space. Desiree is happy she made the investment to protect her home. 

Alton in Albert Lea, MN had large cracks throughout his basement walls. He was concerned about the pressure that was being placed on his foundation and wanted to secure his walls before the damage became any worse. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his situation and provide him with a FREE estimate. Pete determined that we would be able to permanently repair his foundation by installing PowerBraces, which is a much more cost-effective solution compared to replacing the foundation. Alton was pleased with Pete’s solution, so they scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed 7 PowerBraces against the walls. PowerBraces are strong steel I-beams that have a special rust-resistant zinc coating to ensure that your system will look and perform like new for years to come. By installing the PowerBraces, we immediately halted the inward movement of the foundation walls. The PowerBraces should be tightened over time, which can gradually straighten the walls. Alton was pleased with the end result and he is glad he chose to permanently restore his foundation.

Amanda S. of Albert Lea, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall in her basement, making her feel scared and nervous to live in her own home. She got in contact with American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home to inspect the wall and come up with a solution. Amanda got all of her questions answered and was comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team applied 26 feet of our ShotCrete Wall Restoration System to rebuild the foundation wall and restore Amanda's peace of mind. This spray-on solution is twice as strong as standard concrete, it is a fully warrantied repair, and it's much less costly than foundation replacement. Amanda was thrilled with the work and had a remarkable experience with Ryan and Matt!

Marcy B.'s garage walls were bowing and cracking, causing her to worry about the structural build and support of her home. One of her friends had work done by American Waterworks was happy with our services, so Marcy got a hold of our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, went to her home to carefully inspect her walls and come up with a solution that would repair the issue. Dylan proposed our CarbonArmor Fiber Wall Reinforcement Strips, which is a system that uses epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen foundation walls. Marcy was confident in the product and our proposal, so she signed Dylan's contract and put down a deposit. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team installed 28 of our Carbon Fiber Strips around the entire garage wall perimeter. Our CarbonArmor Strips are 10 times stronger than steel and were once used for bomb shelters, bridges, and tall buildings. Marcy was happy with the project and her peace of mind was restored knowing that she no longer has to worry!

Rick and Shirley S. of Baldwin, WI had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their basement. They found an American Waterworks advertisement in the newspaper so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Rick and Shirley's house, carefully examined their foundation walls, and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is our most versatile foundation repair system because it solves a variety of different problems. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 16 of our anchors around the entire foundation wall perimeter. This anchor-rod installation is designed to stabilize cracked and bowing foundation walls while pulling the wall back to its natural position. Rick and Shirley were happy with the work and were grateful we were able to help them with their needs.
