Before & After Photos

Merle M. in Watertown, MN had multiple cracked foundation walls in his basement. The walls were starting to bow inward, and he had noticed the walls gradually deteriorating over the years. He decided it was time to look into repairing his foundation, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to his home to inspect the situation and develop a solution. Jeremy assured Merle that we could permanently restore his foundation by installing wall anchors. Merle was pleased to hear this!

Our team installed 8 wall anchors by drilling small holes through the damaged foundation walls, inserting long metal rods and securing each end of the rods with wall anchors. The process took about two days, but now Merle's foundation is permanently repaired, and his peace of mind has been restored.

A homeowner in Saint Michael, MN, noticed the crack in their wall rapidly grow. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowner knew it was time to have the wall professionally inspected. The homeowner was overwhelmed by all their options, so they tried to narrow their search using HomeAdvisor. On the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, with a nearly perfect five-star rating. The homeowner decided to take a closer look and was impressed by our list of services. Knowing we would do a good job, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Eric. After Eric arrived, he greeted the homeowner and started the basement inspection. Eric determined that the wall was rapidly failing due to hydrostatic pressure. Eric suggested it be permanently stabilized to prevent the wall from total failure. The homeowners agreed and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin production. First, the crew made sure the wall was prepared for the GeoLock installation. Then, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors on the east basement wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their wall was no longer failing. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

Penny P. in Gaylord, MN was referred to American Waterworks by a previous customer. She had cracked and bowing basement walls, and she was concerned about the structural integrity of her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to meet with Penny, evaluate the situation, and propose the best, cost-effective solution. Penny was impressed with Jeremy’s presentation, and she moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize the basement walls by installing 7 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the damaged foundation. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Penny’s peace of mind has been restored, and she is glad she made the investment to protect her home!

Brittany and Matt R. of Mayer, MN had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their home, making them worry about the structural build and safety of their home. They went online and came across our website on Google. After looking through our foundation repair products, they saw that we provide FREE Estimates for all of our services. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home, carefully inspected their foundation walls, and came up with the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors to solve the problem. Brittany and Matt were comfortable with Shane's proposal and the product, so they signed the contract and went ahead with the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrbuias, and his crew began the installation by digging seven holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. Next, our team drilled a long, medal rod from the inside of the home to each hole outside. Once they found the end of the rod in each hole, they screwed on and tightened an anchor plate, which tightly holds the rod in place with the soil. Our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Anchor to the ends of each rod inside of the home to strengthen and straighten the foundation wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, Jesus and his crew backfilled each hole and made sure the soil was tight and compact, leaving the yard looking much neater than when they found it. Brittany and Matt were happy with the work and could not believe it only took one day!

Richard A. of Braham, MN had a cracked foundation causing it to push inward. He was worried about the structural stability of his home, so he got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to Richard's house to carefully inspect his cracked foundation and recommend a solution. Richard was comfortable with Chad's approach and presentation of our wall anchor system, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew installed six of our wall anchors, which are made to repair and stabilize bowing and cracked walls. This anchor-rod installation involves digging out and removing soil, minimal disturbance to landscaping, and soil backfill and compaction. This system can permanently stop inward movement walls and in fact, over time, homeowners can tighten them by themselves to ensure the system is sticking to its design.
