Before & After Photos

A house owned by a property management company in Saint Paul, MN had a bowing foundation wall in the basement. They decided they needed to repair the foundation in order to maintain the home and ensure its stability for years to come. They contacted American Waterworks for a free foundation repair estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to the home to inspect the foundation and develop a solution. The property management company liked Chad’s proposal, so they decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed three PowerBraces along the bowing wall to provide support and stability. Our foundation repair solutions are backed by a lifetime warranty, so they are confident that they chose the right solution to repair the home for the long-term.

Sharon S. of Saint Paul, MN had a settling foundation in the home that she built in the 1930s. The concrete footing of her stairway was sinking. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Russ. Russ went to Sharon's house, inspected her foundation, and determined a solution that would work for her needs. Sharon was confident in Russ's proposal of our Helical Piers, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed seven of our Helical Piers to stabilize and level the home. This system is designed to transfer the weight of the home to strong, supporting soils, then the soil around the foundation is replaced. Sharon was happy with the work, and had a great experience with our team!

Daniel F., a resident of Saint Paul, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall, as well as a musty and sagging ceiling and crawl space in his basement, causing him to worry severely about the value of his home. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan. Dylan went to his home, carefully inspected his wall and crawl space, and drew out a solution that worked for Daniel and his home repair needs. After a thorough discussion about the solution, Daniel felt comfortable with our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his production team started the installation by installing our 5'-7' SmartJacks, which are made to support sloping and springy floors. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier in the crawl space, which is made to keep the crawl space dry and protects the space from wood rot or mold. Next, our team installed our 1'-3' SmartJacks in the crawl space, which is very compatible with our vapor barrier because it prevents mold and humidity while also repairing the structure. Next, Dylon and his team applied our spray-on solution called ShotLock around the foundation wall perimeter. Our ShotLock repairs deteriorating walls and it is twice as strong as concrete. Lastly, our team applied new concrete throughout the entire basement floor, which gives the space a neat and clean finish. Daniel was thrilled with the work and had a great experience with our team!

This home's foundation in Bear Lake, MN was cracking and beginning to bow. The home was older and needed some foundation help. So they contacted us to assess the problem. 

We decided to use Residential Shotcrete, which stabilizes old, deteriorating walls. This substance is twice as strong as concrete. 

Now the homeowners feel twice as safe with their newly reinforced foundation! 

We were contacted by Heather and Cory, two relators out of the St. Paul area, when they had a potential bid for a house, but needed to make some repairs to the foundation before the sale was complete. After contacting us, we set them up with our FREE estimate and sent our Design Specialist, Josh, headed out to the home to assess the damage. After his thorough inspection, he found that both the South and West walls were compromised and needed stabilization. Josh recommended our CarbonArmor solution, which is the cheapest and quickest way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that show signs of bowing. Our CarbonArmor is a super-strong carbon fiber strap that is attached to the walls in question with epoxy. With their approval, our Foreman, Raul, and his team began the process of determining the best places for the straps. Raul and his team ended up placing 11 total CarbonArmor straps on the South and West walls. Now Heather and Cory can finalize their sale knowing the foundation of their home is stabilized!
