Before & After Photos

Paul from Elizabeth, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his floor was sloping. Wanting to correct the issue before it could worsen, he called our office to see if we could help. When we spoke with him, we set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Evan, headed out to the property to assess the situation. After he finished his walkthrough, he recommended the use of our SmartJack structural support jacks. Evan explained to Paul that our SmartJack system is comprised of galvanized steel beams that can support loads of more than 60,000 lbs. He went on to say that the system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Paul agreed with Evan's recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

After our Foreman, Zach, and his team finished, they installed 2 of our SmartJacks and one of our supplemental support beams in the basement of Paul's home. Now Paul can walk across an even floor without worrying about floor joists bowing. 

David, who owns a cabin in Shevlin, MN, noticed some issues with his basement space. Unfortunately, the block wall on the east side of the home was cracking and bowing. He contacted us as he realized these were signs of failing. He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

Ian talked to David about installing our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. He explained that this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that the anchors can be tightened over time. David agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew headed out to the cabin and got to work. The team installed 75of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement wall. They discussed with David that it is recommended to use the tightening kit every 4-6 weeks and that we would be in contact in 9-12 months to schedule his 1st Annual Maintenance. At the end of the project, David was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue. 

Thomas F. of Pelican Rapids, MN had bowing walls in the basement of his lake house. He wanted to get it looked at by a professional, so he did some research online and came across our website. After seeing our FREE estimate page, he called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate and inspection with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Thomas's home, inspected his foundation walls, and determined a solution that would suit his needs. Ian proposed our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. Thomas got all of his questions answered about the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed our PowerBraces around the entire foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. The project took one full day and Thomas was happy with the work that was completed!

Matthew L. of Bagley, MN had water seeping into his basement and had foundation cracks in his exposed basement wall. Our office staff got in contact with him and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to his home and inspected his basement leaks and foundation cracks. Richie proposed our DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe for the water leaks and our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System for the foundation cracks. Matthew was confident in both products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed six of our CarbonArmor with epoxy resin. This system is designed to stabilize and strengthen foundation walls and is 10 times stronger than steel. After the installation, it becomes part of the wall structure and can be painted to match the color of the wall. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe around the floor perimeter, which collects water from basement walls, stays out of the mud zone, and requires no jackhammering. Since this foundation's floor and footing comes as one piece, DryTrak was the correct interior drainage system to use. Matthew was thrilled with the repairs and had a great experience with our team!

A homeowner in Bagley, MN, was incredibly troubled about the fractured wall in their basement. The homeowners knew the only solution was to search for professional assistance. After seeing many individuals doing excellent work around their neighborhood, the homeowners decided to work with American Waterworks. After signing up for our FREE estimate on our website, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Kole. Soon after Kole's arrival, he began his assessment of the wall's status. Kole warned the homeowners that the wall was severely falling apart and facing wall failure. To solve this issue, Kole recommended the wall be permanently stabilized with our heavy-duty wall restoration system, the EverBrace. The homeowners agreed and we assigned a crew to complete the job. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew arrived at the home and began preparation for the wall restoration. The EverBrace system was installed along the south wall of the basement. Additionally, holes were filled where the steps of the basement once were. After the EverBrace was successfully installed, the crew cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved that their basement was saved from possible failure. American Waterworks is happy to give another customer peace of mind.
