Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Gelcole, MN, was doing laundry in their basement when they noticed a stairstep crack growing on their back foundation wall. Concerned that this issue would worsen, the homeowner decided to reach out to a professional to have the wall inspected. Not sure who they should work with, the homeowner tried to narrow down their choices using HomeAdvisor. After putting in their requirements, the first company on the list was American Waterworks. Once they saw that we listed the services they were looking for, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dylan, one of our Design Specialists. After Dylan arrived, he began inspecting the back foundation wall and discovered it was showing early signs of wall failure. Since Dylan discovered the source of the issue, he could come up with a suggested solution. To stop the wall failure from progressing, Dylan suggested ten Geolock anchors be installed on the north and east walls. Knowing this would stop the wall from further failing, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's suggestions. Once they received the okay, the plans were directed to Arturo and his crew. Arturo and his crew arrived to begin the GeoLock installation. The crew installed four GeoLocks on the north wall and six on the east wall. Once all the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their wall was no longer at risk of failure. American Waterworks is happy to give homeowners peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Glencoe, MN, noticed their east foundation wall was beginning to shear at the bottom of the wall. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to do further research into companies that do foundation repair. While on social media, the homeowner saw one of our digital advertisements. Interested in our companies, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and read further into our foundation repair options. After reading more in-depth, the homeowner knew we were the best fit, so signed up for their FREE estimate. After the details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. Gary arrived at the home and began by investigating the status of the foundation on the interior and exterior. Following his in-depth evaluation, Gary recommended that the east foundation wall be permanently stabilized with PowerBraces. The homeowner decided to go along with Gary's plan, so they were directed to the production crew. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew marked out where the PowerBraces will be placed. Then, the crew installed seven PowerBraces along the east foundation wall. Once the PowerBraces were secured into place, the crew put the basement back in order. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to ensure another homeowner's foundation is secured. 

Jim, a Grey Eagle, MN homeowner, had bowing walls in his garage that needed stabilizing. After looking at what American Waterworks does, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. After thoroughly examining, Shane explained that water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge, or tilt. Shane suggested that Jim invest in Power Braces to permanently stabilize the wall and SmartJacks to restore and straighten sagging floor joists to combat this. Jim was confident in Shane's proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our crew, led by Foreman Matthew, headed to the property shortly after and got to work. First, they installed 1 7'10' SmartJacks. The SmartJack system restores stability and straightens sagging floor joists, which can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. Next, the team installed 11 of our PowerBraces to repair the failing wall. Our PowerBraces are designed to straighten walls and can be tightened by the homeowner over time to ensure the walls stay straight. Since this system has a special zinc coating, corrosion is not an issue. Our PowerBraces can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. It installs quickly in the home, immediately halting the inward movement of foundation walls. Jim was impressed with the project's efficiency and quality of work, and he was glad to know that his bowing wall was no longer an issue.

Mark H. of New York Mills, MN had cracks going down his foundation wall, and he wanted to get them fixed before it got any worse. He saw American Waterworks on Facebook so he got in contact with our staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to Mark's home, carefully inspected the wall, and proposed our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System. Mark was confident in the system and its warranty, so he went ahead with the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 15 of our CarbonArmor to fix and repair the cracks. Our CarbonArmor is 10 times stronger than steel and is installed with epoxy resin, which absorbs the pressure and helps reinforce the wall. Mark was thrilled with the work that was done and was excited to see the transformation!

Darlene P. of Watkins, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall, and she didn't like the appearance of it from the outside of her home. She got in contact with our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to her home, inspected her foundation wall, and proposed the solution of our Wall Recovery System, known as ShotLock. Darlene got all of her questions answered about the product, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production team sprayed our ShotLock around the foundation wall perimeter. Our ShotLock is a spray-on solution that offers a fast alternative to demolish and rebuild a deteriorating foundation. It is faster and less costly than a foundation replacement and provides a permanent and full warranty. Darlene was happy with the work and had a good experience!
