Before & After Photos

A homeowner of Janesville, MN was having problems with his foundation walls cracking and bowing in, as well as water coming into the basement. He got in touch with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, inspected his problems, and proposed a solution. The homeowner got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect water seepage from the basement wall and prevent mud clogs while serving as an underground drain. Our team also installed our CarbonArmor Reinforcing Strips, which reinforces and stops the wall from cracking or bowing any further. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and their peace of mind was restored.

Matt and Michelle W. of Easton, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks after being referred by another customer. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, came to their home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Matt and Michelle were confident with Ben's proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production team dug seven holes outside of the home and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors. To do this, they inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall, and tightened an anchor on the ends of each rod. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are designed to pull the walls back into their natural position. To complete the project, Rene and his team back filled the holes and replaced the soil. Matt and Michelle were happy with the outcome and were amazed at how quick the work was completed! 

Jeri H. in Lakota, IA was concerned about her bowing basement walls. She contacted American Waterworks after she was referred by a friend, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to meet with her. Dylan evaluated the situation and proposed a solution for her home. Jeri approved of the design and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize the bowing foundation wall with 6 PowerBraces. The PowerBraces halted further deterioration of the wall, and over time, can be tightened to make the wall straighter and more vertical. Jeri was pleased with the installation and her peace of mind has been restored!

Micela and Will from St. Paul, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice that their basement wall was beginning to show signs of bowing. They were afraid that if they left the issue unresolved, they could face serious damage to the structural integrity of the home. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough, no-obligation estimate by a member of our Sales team. Shortly after scheduling, our Design Specialist, Michele, headed out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection he was able to make his recommendations. He recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the situation. He explained that these locks will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that, as the house shifts and settles more, the anchors can be tightened to give homeowners peace of mind for years to come. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Raul and his crew installed 5 of our anchors throughout the basement. Once the job was complete, the couple was happy to know they didn't need to worry about their foundation anymore! 

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, noticed their cinder block foundation was beginning to struggle. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided that they needed a professional to inspect the status of their basement. Overwhelmed by all their options, the homeowner tried to sift their options using NextDoor. One of the first companies to show up was ours, American Waterworks. The homeowner was impressed with our reviews and decided to take a closer look at our website. Knowing our services best fit their needs, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Daniel, one of our Design Specialists. Daniel arrived at the home and began his inspection of the foundation. After completing the estimation, Daniel found that the home was suffering from hydrostatic pressure. To stop the foundation from being affected further, Daniel recommended that PowerBraces be installed on the affected walls. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and production began. Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew arrived at the home to start production. First, the crew prepared for the PowerBrace installation. The crew installed six PowerBraces along the north wall in the basement. Once the PowerBraces were installed, they left behind a straightening kit. This will allow the walls to straighten over time. The crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their walls were permanently stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to help out another customer.
