Before & After Photos

Terry H. of Merrifield, MN was having sagging floors problems that were sloping into their crawl space. They wanted someone to come out and give them an estimate on the repairs. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Terry's home and proposed our Crawl Space Support Posts, which are designed to restore the stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Terry was confident in the product, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production team installed nine of our support posts throughout their crawl space, correcting the sloping and overly springy floors. The project took two days and Terry was happy with the experience that they had!

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

Our crew, led by Foreman Matthew, headed out 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 and 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 efficiency and quality of work of the project, and he was glad to know that his bowing wall was no longer an issue.

Kimberly and Nick T. of Marshall, MN had a small home that they rent out, and their foundation walls were beginning to bow inward. They didn't know why and they wanted to get the problem fixed. They scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to their rental home, inspected their foundation wall, and gave them some of our foundation repair system options that would work for their needs. Kimberly and Nick liked the design of our GeoLock Wall Anchors, so they followed through with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by digging holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. Inside the basement, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside to the outside of the home where each hole was. At the end of the rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holds the rod in place. Next, from the inside of the basement, our crew installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor to end rod, enabling the wall to stabilize and straighten back out to its normal position. This three-part combination makes for an effective result and ensures the home will no longer need to depend on a bowing or tilting wall. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and left the yard and basement looking neater than when they found it.

A homeowner in Brooten, MN, was prepping their home for the incoming winter seasons when they noticed a stairstep crack ascending their south basement wall. Uneasy about the discovery, the homeowner without hesitation searched for a company to fix this issue. The homeowners came across our website and signed up for a FREE estimate. We sent our Service Technician, Marc, to take a look at the wall and propose a solution to the homeowners. Marc determined that the south block wall would need to be stabilized with two PowerBraces and footings would need to be poured for each PowerBrace. Foreman, Juan, and his crew successfully positioned the PowerBraces underneath the stairs and inspected the crawl space. The homeowners were very pleased with the crew's work and American Waterworks is happy to leave another customer satisfied.
