Before & After Photos

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! 

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his floor above his basement was beginning to sag inward. He wanted to get ahead of the problem, so he decided to contact American Waterworks to see if they could help. When he called in we set him up with his FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few short weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Upon completion of his inspection, Mac recommended the installation of our SmartJacks to address the sagging floor. Mac explained to the homeowner that our SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floors. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Jesus, and his team ended up installing 14 SmartJacks throughout the basement of the home. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was happy to walk across level floors!

Kent J. of Burnsville, MN had a bowing foundation wall, making him worry about the stability of his home. He knew of American Waterworks, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to Kent's home and inspected the wall to figure out the best solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is a system that stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring the wall to the compact soil beyond the foundation. Kent was confident in the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by digging holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team installed a long, metal rod through the wall to each hole outside of the home. Each anchor is connected by the rod to a wall plate, which provides the pressure needed to straighten the foundation wall. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors with a torque wrench to ensure the system is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, our crew backfilled each hole outside of the home and ensured the yard was neater than they found it. Kent was happy with the work that was performed and had a great experience from appointment to installation!

Brett from Burnsville, MN found out his foundation was in jeopardy when he noticed cracks that were being created by the bowing of the foundation wall. Brett started to worry about the structure of his home and was looking for a cost-effective solution. Brett then contacted the Appointment Center at American Waterworks and schedule his FREE estimate which entitled Brett to a free home inspection by our Design Specialist. Once the appointment was scheduled, the Design Specialist headed out to Brett's home to conduct a thorough inspection to provide Brett with the best solution to solve his problems and prevent the wall from bowing any further. Our Design Specialist proposed to Brett that the best solution to prevent any further bowing of the wall is our CarbonArmor solution. The CarbonArmor is a carbon fiber strap that goes alongside the wall and stabilizes the foundation and is attached to the wall with a special epoxy. The CarbonArmor strengthens due to the pressure that is applied to it. Brett agrees with the proposition and proceeds with the project. Once the installation date was scheduled, our foreman Chris Newton proceeded to install four CarbonArmor straps alongside the issue wall. Brett was impressed with the quick installation and the cost of the proceeding, and his peace of mind was restored knowing that he did not have to worry about the foundation of his home!!
