Before & After Photos

Dale, from Fergus Falls, MN, reached out to us when he began to notice that one of the walls of his basement was beginning to bow inward. Dale knew that a deteriorating foundation was not only dangerous for the household but could potentially harm any resale of the house that might be in the future. Dale used his FREE estimate and our Fargo-based Design Specialist, Ian, was at the property soon after that. When Ian arrived he got to work doing a thorough inspection of the root of the cause, and the severity of the damage and made recommendations as to how we could help Dale restore his wall. Ian reported that the bowing wall was being caused by the soil on the other side of the wall pushing it inward. He recommended Dale take action soon and, based on the bowing wall, was able to recommend our PowerBrace system to correct the issue. Our PowerBrace solution is a system of I-shaped beams that work to stabilize and straighten bowing walls over a period of time. 

The Foreman for the project, Zach, and his crew got to work and ended up placing 12 PowerBraces around the perimeter of the basement in an effort to stabilize and straighten the problem wall. 

Now Dale can get back to enjoying most of what his home has to offer! 

A homeowner from Fergus Falls, MN, was growing concerned about his front walkway. Over the years the homeowner had noticed that the concrete had begun to sink, slowly pulling away from the home and leave large gaps next to the foundation. Worried about whether or not water would leak into his basement through the gaps, the homeowner decided to search for Minnesota concrete lifting. After speaking with friends and family and doing his own research online, the homeowner decided to get a few quotes, one of which was from American Waterworks. 

A few weeks after scheduling, our Design Specialist, Jackson P, was headed out to the home to complete his free inspection. When Jackson concluded his evaluation, he sat down with the homeowner to go over next steps. Jackson informed the homeowner that the concrete was indeed shifting, and would need to be fixed. He went on to say that American Waterworks could aide the situation with the help of our PolyLevel. This unique polyurethane foam expands as it's injected below uneven concrete. As the foam expands it slowly fills the empty voids below the concrete left over by soil erosion. Jackson also recommended our NexusPro; a silicone-based joint sealant that is applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete after the lift is completed. This specially formulated product works to provide the concrete with long-lasting flexibility while defending the vulnerable soil below from harsh weather conditions and UV rays. The homeowner was thrilled to know he did not need to fully replace his concrete walkway and decided to schedule his project on the spot. 

Several weeks later our Foreman, Charlie, and his Co-Foreman were at the home lifting the areas of sunken concrete. When the job had been completed our customer was thrilled to know that his concrete problems had been handled professionally, and non-invasively.

Donald from Barnesville, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice a crack forming along his basement wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the wall failing even more. When he called our office, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, Kole was out at the property to see what could be done. Once he finished his walkthrough, he made his recommendations. Kole wanted to use our GeoLock anchors to fix the issue. He explained that this solution works to stabilize walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. 

The customer agreed to the solution and work began a few weeks after. Our Foreman, Zach, and his crew ended up installing 8 of our anchors throughout the basement. When work was done, our customer was happy to know that he didn't have to worry about his basement foundation any longer! 

Todd Z. in Olivia, MN was nervous about the stress that his bowing foundation walls in his basement were putting on his home. He knew how expensive replacing an entire foundation could cost, so he started researching foundation repair options. Todd visited the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and talked with our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, about his situation. They set up a time for Jeremy to come out to his home, inspect his bowing walls, and give him a free estimate. Jeremy developed a personalized plan to stabilize Todd's walls. Todd agreed with the plan and was eager for the installation. 

Our production team carefully placed 25 wall anchors throughout Todd's basement. After they tightened the anchors the walls were straightened and stabilized. Our wall anchors have a lifetime guarantee, so Todd has peace of mind that he invested in permanently protecting his home.

A homeowner in Glyndon, MN had outside soil and water pressure pushed against their foundation wall, causing it to collapse into their crawl space. This made them worry about the structural build and stability of their home. They did some research on our website and came across our foundation and crawl space repair products. They called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to inspect their walls and come up with a solution. After a clear and detailed diagnosis, the homeowner was comfortable with Rick's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed two of our PowerBraces on the inside foundation, enabling the foundation wall to stabilize and straighten back into its normal position. Over time, PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to make sure the walls aren't bowing in or tilting.
