Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Sherburn, MN, knew it was time to have the large crack in their foundation wall inspected by a professional. Not sure who to work with, the homeowner asked some friends for recommendations. Several of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our site and was impressed by foundation repair services, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. Once he arrived, Dylan began his detailed inspection of the foundation wall and basement. Following his inspection, Dylan determined that the foundation walls required permanent stabilization. Dylan also warned the homeowners if this goes unfixed, the wall will eventually fail. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's recommendations, and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew made their way out to the home to begin the project. First, the crew prepared the basement for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. On the north wall, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors. Additionally, the homeowners requested to have the tightening kit included with the GeoLocks. The crew completed the installation and cleaned up their site. The homeowners were grateful to know their walls were no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to give another customer peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Trimont, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate after browsing our website. We sent out our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a clear and comfortable inspection, the homeowner went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew began the installation by digging holes outside of the home and putting a metal rod in each hole and installed our Wall Anchor System. Wall anchors extend out to the soil past the house, anchor themselves there, and strengthen the foundation wall, while also preventing any inward movement. To complete the installation, Juan and his production team filled the holes, replaced all the soil, and made sure the homeowner was happy! 

A homeowner in Trimont, MN, felt it was time to have their basement inspected due to the concerning cracks growing along their walls. Since the homeowner has done work with us in the past, they felt comfortable calling our Appointment Center and signing up for their FREE estimate. After the FREE estimate was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Edgar, to investigate the status of the wall. When Edgar arrived, he met with the homeowner and then took a look at the wall. Edgar determined that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Edgar recommended they install GeoLocks to permanently stabilize. Knowing this was the best option, Edgar agreed and the solution was directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to begin the stabilization process. Upon arrival, they made sure the basement was cleared and ready for production. Then, the crew began installing five GeoLocks along the south wall. The homeowner requested that the tightening kit also be included in the job, so they could gradually straighten the wall over time. When the crew finished the GeoLock installation, they cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Charles W. in Saint James, MN had large, stair-step like cracks in three of his basement walls. He noticed they had started to bow inwards, so he decided it would be a good idea to have a professional look at it. A friend of his had a good experience with American Waterworks so he recommended that Charles contact us to repair his foundation. Charles called us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the situation and find a solution for him. Charles was pleased with the thorough plan that Jeremy developed, and he felt that we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew strategically placed seventeen Geo-Lock wall anchors along the three bowing walls. The anchors are placed in the ground outside of the home and drilled into the basement walls. Then, the plates are screwed on and tightened. Once the plates are tightened, the walls straighten and stabilize. Charles can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to secure his foundation because our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Roger D. in New Ulm, MN had two bowing foundation walls in his basement. He was concerned about the damage it could be causing to his foundation, so he decided it was time to have a professional inspect his situation. He began researching foundation repair contractors and came across American Waterworks' website. He contacted us, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to his home to evaluate the situation and provide him with a solution. Eric addressed Roger’s questions and was able to develop a thorough plan to stabilize his walls. Roger felt that Eric’s proposal was a good fit for him, so he set a date for the installation.

Our production crew installed 11 wall anchors along the two walls. Once the anchors were tightened, Roger was able to visibly see the difference in the stability of the walls. Roger was glad he chose a permanent solution to repair his foundation. Our wall anchor system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Roger will always have peace of mind that his home is protected.
