Before & After Photos

Ann and John B. of New Prague, MN had bowing and cracked walls in their basement that needed to be reinforced. Our office staff set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, examined their foundation wall, and came up with a solution. Ann and John were confident in Eric's design of our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team started the installation by cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion and saturated the masonry with epoxy. Then, our team installed 10 of our CarbonArmor strips and coated it with more epoxy to adhere the strips to the wall and to enhance each strip's strength. Ann and John were happy and impressed by how quickly the project went!

Anthony W. in Le Center, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. He was worried that these cracks would cause the walls to bow, which would put pressure on his foundation. He wanted to repair his walls before his problem got worse, so he contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a solution and a FREE estimate. Anthony was impressed with our products and our team, so he scheduled the installation. 

Our Design Specialist recommended having wall anchors installed along the cracked walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Our production crew started the installation by drilling 13 long, metal rods through the brick wall into the soil surrounding the home. They secured both ends of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them. These anchors can continue to be tightened over time to gradually straighten the wall. Anthony's walls became permanently secured with the installation of these wall anchors. He is glad he made the investment to protect his foundation for the long-term.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was beginning the initial stages of selling her home. However, she knew she had one roadblock to overcome. She had several stair-step cracks running the length of her basement. She didn't want any foundation issues to compromise a potential sale, so she decided to search for a professional MN basement foundation repair company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Derek got right to work inspecting each wall. When he concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Derek began by saying that the homeowner was right to contact us, as failing foundations are notorious for dragging down the resale value of a home. Derek recommended the use of our PowerBrace wall repair 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 was thrilled to hear that the solution wasn't going to be overly invasive and decided to schedule the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our team, lead by their Foreman, Jesus C, headed out to the home to install the system. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently resell her home, knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!
