Before & After Photos

A customer from Moorhead, MN, got in contact with us when they noticed their basement wall was beginning to lean inward. They knew if they left the issue, they would run the risk of the wall failing completely, which would be hazardous to the structural integrity of the home and would cost more to fix at that stage. When they called in, they used their FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to their property to do a thorough inspection of the issue. When he concluded, he found that the wall was leaning 2' inward, meaning corrective action was needed. Kole was able to recommend the homeowner a solution, our PowerBrace wall repair system. Kole explained that our PowerBrace is a steel I-beam designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. This system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical over time, meaning the system will last for a long time to come. The customer agreed with Kole's recommendations and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Zach, and his crew ended up strategically installing 7 of our PowerBraces along the Southside of the basement. 

When the job was complete, the customer was happy with our work and relieved to know that her wall would be straight for a long time to come! 

A homeowner in Northwood, ND had his foundation support posts replaced with our SmartJacks. Our SmartJacks can support loads up to 60,000 pounds, they are galvanized, they can be installed in limited-access areas, and they are the only support post system that can address problematic soils. The homeowner was very happy with the work and was thrilled to see that their floors were no longer sagging inward.

A homeowner in Northwood, ND, was concerned once they noticed their basement ceiling was sagging. Concerned this could been damaging, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their friends and family for any recommendations. One of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to take a closer look at the services we provide and was impressed with our previous projects. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. James arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. While investigating, James discovered the floors needed to be permanently stabilized with SmartJacks. James completed the inspection and presented his proposal to the homeowner. After hearing James' proposal, the homeowner knew this was the best option for their home. Once the plans were approved by the homeowner, it was sent to our office to be approved. After receiving the final stamp of approval, the proposal was sent to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Roel and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew ensured the home was ready for the SmartJack installation. The crew installed two SmartJacks along the struggling wall. Once the SmartJacks were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement was properly stabilized. 

John, from Morgan, MN, gave us a call when he began to have concerns about bowing wood on his basement ceiling affecting other areas of his home. John cashed in on his FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Ryan, went out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue. In the end, he agreed with John that the foundation of the basement was causing issues. He recommended John invest in our supplemental beams and SmartJack system to give his home further stabilization. Our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew completed the project in a timely manner so we could help restore John's confidence in his home.

Myron M. in Morton, MN was visiting a local home show and he found the American Waterworks booth. He had a cracked foundation wall and he had heard we repair foundations, so he stopped to speak with one of our Design Specialists. We set up a time to give him a FREE onsite estimate, so we could inspect his basement and provide him with a solution. After evaluating his foundation, we recommended installing wall anchors to permanently stabilize his foundation wall. He was pleased with the solution and happy he wouldn’t have to replace his foundation, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. Then, they secured the ends of the rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. Our wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. Each anchor system also includes a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and each installation includes our own performance warranty. Myron was impressed with the installation and is thrilled that he no longer has to be concerned about the structural integrity of his foundation.
