Before & After Photos

Brent B. of Prior Lake, MN was in need of foundation repair, so he did some research and came across our website. We contacted our office staff through our online web chat and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to Brent's home, noticed his bowing walls, and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is designed to stabilize and straighten walls back to their normal position. Brent was confident that it would solve his problem, so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his team installed our wall anchors throughout the foundation wall. This system is the most effective foundation repair method because it can solve all sorts of problems from bowing to cracking walls. The installation was a whole day's worth of work, and Brent was very satisfied!

Matt H. in Delavan, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. One of the walls was severely bowing inward and the other had a large stair step-like crack in the wall that had gotten worse over time. A friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks to help solve his foundation problems, so he gave us a call for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to his home to inspect his foundation and design a solution. Jeremy assured Matt that we could permanently repair his foundation by installing 8 wall anchors. Matt was pleased to hear this, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled small holes through the brick walls and into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they inserted long metal rods into the holes and they secured each end of the rods with anchor plates. Once they tightened the anchors, Matt was able to see a dramatic improvement in the stability of his walls. The wall anchors can continue to be tightened over time to gradually straighten the wall back to its original position. Since our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, Matt is confident that he chose the best long-term solution to protect his home.

A customer from Savage, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his detached garage were beginning to show signs of cracking and bowing inwards. He was afraid that, if left untreated, the problem would continue to worsen, and could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the home. When he called, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, one of our Design Specialists, Jarrett, headed out to the home to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could fix the issue. Jarrett wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the situation. He explained to our customer that our GeoLock anchors work to stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten and stabilize the wall. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after that. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew wound up installing 8 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the garage quickly and efficiently. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his garage!

Rhonda from Chisago City, MN, enlisted our services when she began to notice that her deck was beginning to sink and pull away from the rest of her home. She worried that if she left the issue unresolved that she would run the risk of the deck collapsing completely which could become costly to fix at that stage. When she called into the office we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a 3-hour inspection by a member of our Sales team. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property for his walkthrough. Once completed, he was able to recommend some of our services that he felt would best fit Rhonda's situation. Shane wanted to address the failing wall by using our helical piers to stabilize the structure. He explained to Rhonda that these piers would be the best fit because they're specifically geared to work for a lighter structure such as decks or concrete stairs. To add extra strength, he wanted to use our ShotLock system, which is the encasing of our PowerBrace system behind a layer of rebar and steel mesh and 4-6' of concrete. Our PowerBrace system is made of galvanized steel I-beams that are used to strengthen and stabilize a wall and can be tightened over time as the home settles more. Rhonda agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Matt Z, ended up installing 6 of our helical piers and 15ft of ShotLock around the perimeter of the deck. These particular products cause minimal disturbance to the homeowner's lawn and landscaping. When the job was completed, Rhonda was pleased to know her deck was sturdy and would stay that way for a long time to come.
