Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Lakefield, MN had a bowing foundation wall in his basement and he was concerned that if he didn't take preventative action, he may have to replace his foundation which would be very costly. He started researching conctractors that could help him with foundation repair, and he came across American Waterworks. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to his home to give him a free onsite estimate. Jeremy recommended that we install our wall anchor system and the homeowner agreed that was the best option to stabilize his foundation.

Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew strategically installed 20 wall anchors throughout the basement to secure the foundation walls. The homeowner can rest easy knowing that he took the necessary steps to protect his foundation for a lifetime.

A Hutchinson, MN, couple got in touch with us when they noticed that stair-step cracks were forming on their basement walls. Worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home, they began the search for MN foundation repair companies. When they found our website, they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Lance S, headed out to their home to evaluate the issues. 

Once Lance completed his walkthrough, he informed the homeowners that American Waterworks could address the failing foundation with the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. Lance explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The couple liked the sound of having a system that could be stabilized as time goes on, and decided to schedule the project for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team ended up installing 14 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the lower level of the home. Now our customers can rest easy knowing their foundation issues have been addressed!

Chris K., a resident in Foley, MN, had a bowing foundation wall, causing him to worry about the strength and support of his home. 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. After a thorough examination, Eric proposed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which are the most adaptable wall repair products because they stabilize walls that have a variety of different problems. Chris got all of his questions answered about the product and was comfortable with Eric's proposal, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.

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.
