Foundation Repaired in Hopkins, MN

Carsten I. of Hopkins, MN had bowing and cracking walls in his garage, and he wanted to get them inspected before his walls fell in. He got in contact with American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to Carsten's house, examined and diagnosed his wall, and wrote out a detailed solution of our Wall Anchor System. Our Wall Anchors are connected by a long, metal rod to a wall plate that provides the pressure needed to straighten it back into its normal position. Carsten was confident in our product and its warranty, so he got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Gabriel Ramos, and his production team installed 14 of our wall anchors to stop the inward movement entirely. Over time, the homeowner can tighten the wall anchors to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Our wall anchors are the most versatile foundation wall repair methods because they can stabilize walls that have a variety of different problems. As you can tell in the pictures, the wall moved dramatically from bowing to completely straight. Are you interested in our wall anchor system and what it can do for your failed foundation?

Inward Bowing Wall in Minnetonka, MN

Lennie A. in Minnetonka, MN had an inward bowing wall in his storage building behind his home. He was concerned about the damage it was causing to the foundation. His realtor recommended that he call American Waterworks to help repair his foundation, so he gave us a call and scheduled a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect the foundation and provide a solution. Chad recommended that we install wall anchors on the bowing wall which would permanently stabilize and secure it. Lennie agreed that was the best option for him, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew drilled the rods of the anchors through the brick wall, until the rods reached stable soil. Then, they placed plates on each end of the right and tightened them. In total, they installed 4 anchors along the wall. Lennie was pleased that he could see a dramatic change in the stability of the wall almost immediately. Our wall anchors are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Lennie has peace of mind that he chose a permanent foundation repair option that will always protect that foundation wall.

Failing Foundation Gets Restored in Minnetonka, MN

A Minnetonka, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement for some time. Over time, he had noticed large stair-step cracks forming on his wall. Not wanting the issue to get any worse, he went to google to search cracked foundation repair near me. After sifting through the results, he found the American Waterworks website, signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. Darin recommended the use of our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner agreed with Darin and scheduled the work for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jose C, and his team installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her home knowing her foundation worries have been corrected!

Foundation Repair Services in Mankato, MN

Matt T. of Mankato, MN had bowing foundation walls, causing him to worry about the structural support of his house. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan, who went to his house, examined his walls, and drew out the solution of our Wall Anchor Foundation Repair System. Matt was comfortable with Ryan's presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging small holes beyond the foundation, until they hit compact, undisturbed soil. While installing our anchor system, each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Our wall anchors straighten the wall back into its original position by pulling it back to where it's supposed to be. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors to ensure the system is still sticking to its design. To complete the project, Jose and his team backfilled the holes, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it.
