Before & After Photos

Michael O. of Isle, MN started seeing vertical cracks in his foundation, and he wanted to get them looked at by a professional before anything got worse. He called American Waterworks and had our Design Specialist, Chad, out to his home to inspect his foundation wall. Chad proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is made to stabilize your basement wall, providing it with the best opportunity to straighten back to its normal position. Michael felt good about the system, so he signed the proposal. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his production crew installed six of our wall anchors, which are connected by long, steel rods to a wall plate which gives the pressure that is needed to straighten the wall. Our anchors have a 25-year warranty and they can be installed year-round. The installation took a couple of days and Michael was happy with the work!

After doing some research online and coming across our website, Chris called our main office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with Eric Hazelton, one of our Design Specialists. Eric drove to Chris's home, where he introduced himself and inspected the bowing wall.

Bill and Judith K. of Darwin, MN had a cracked foundation wall, making them worry about the strength and stability of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on local television. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, inspected their foundation wall, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System. Bill and Judith got all of their questions answered about our wall anchors and they felt confident in the design, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by digging four small holes outside beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew installed an anchor plate beyond the foundation, which anchored the rod in place. From the interior foundation, our team installed and tightened a wall anchor, which stops inward movement entirely. Over time, this will move the foundation wall back to its original position. Our Wall Anchor System is the most versatile wall repair method because it stabilizes walls with multiple problems, including bowing and tipping walls, and walls that push in at the bottom. To complete the project, our crew backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard was neater than when they found it.
