Before & After Photos

Bruce A. in Le Sueur, MN noticed that the apartment he was living in was starting to sink. After further investigation, he realized the foundation was settling, so he asked his property manager what the best course of action would be. They got in touch with American Waterworks to learn more about foundation repair and receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialist's to inspect the apartment complex and he determined that installing piers was the best option to repair the foundation. 

Our crew removed the concrete in the garage and under specific areas in the home and dug out the soil. They placed piers under the foundation and drilled them deep into the soil until they hit competent, supporting soil. The installation took a couple of days, but now the property management company will never have to worry about that foundation failing.

A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN, knew their foundation was struggling. After holding it off for long enough, the homeowner began their search for a solution. After seeing our advertisement in Shopwise Maple Grove, the homeowner was interested in our services. The homeowner called the number on the paper and was connected to our Appointment Specialists. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Daniel, one of our Design Specialists. Daniel traveled to the home to meet with the homeowner and investigate the foundation. Following introductions, Daniel completed a full inspection of the home's foundation. Daniel discovered that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Daniel suggested installing GeoLocks around the entire foundation. Wanting their home to be safe, the homeowner agreed with Daniel's recommendations. Once they were approved, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. After they arrived at the home, the crew began installing 28 GeoLock anchors around the entire foundation.  Along with the GeoLock anchors, the crew included a straightening kit. This will allow the walls to be straightened over time. The crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize another home's foundation. 

Crawl spaces tend to be dark and creepy for small children. For adults, they're dark and creepy for other reasons. For instance, they're known for being the source of pooling water, and bowing wood can mean the foundation of the home is unstable, creating unease in the back of the mind. So when a homeowner from Rush City, MN, contacted us about their unstable crawl space, we knew we had to act fast. Our Design Specialist, Ryan, went to the property to assess the situation and recommended a few fixes that would transform the space. He recommended our SmartJack system for crawl spaces to keep the area stable. This particular system provides supplemental support to your failing structure, but can also lift failing floor joists or beams over time, restoring them to their original position. Our Foreman, Gabriel, was able to make the installation with the help of his fantastic crew. Now, the homeowners don't need to fear their crawl space and the various issues it could pose. 

Roger B. in Spring Park, MN noticed that the roof of his crawl space was sagging, and he had a crack on the exterior wall of his home where the crawl space is. He also noticed that he had a lot of moisture in his crawl space and he thought he might be losing energy through that space because he was dealing with high energy costs. He found American Waterworks and was pleased to see that we offer both waterproofing and foundation repair.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to find a solution and give him a FREE estimate. Roger was pleased with the proposal that Shane developed so he scheduled a date for the installation.

Our production crew removed the debris and installed our crawl space waterproofing system which consisted of, drainage matting along the floor, SilverGlo, CleanSpace and a Sedona dehumidifier. Then we installed 5 SmartJacks in the crawl space to support the beams of the flooring. To stabilize the home, we installed 10 push piers under the foundation.The entire process took a couple of days, but Roger and his family will benefit from this permanent solution for a lifetime. Our waterproofing and foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Roger can rest easy knowing his home is protected.
