Before & After Photos

A customer from Montevideo, MN got in touch with us when a crack began forming on his block basement wall. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric H. headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could help correct the issue. Because the wall was beginning to bow inward, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the problem. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system would permanently stabilize the foundation of the home by anchoring the wall to the virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after the initial installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull them back into its original position. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his crew ended up strategically installing 5 GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that his foundation worries were in the past! 

A Montevideo, MN, homeowner was in his garage one day when he noticed a large crack running lengthwise on the furthest wall. He was immediately worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of his home, so he decided to find a MN-based foundation repair company. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed a thorough inspection of the foundation of the garage and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings and recommendations. Ryan began by stating that the homeowner was seeing cracking because there was an excess amount of pressure being applied to the wall from the exterior. He went on to say that our GeoLock anchors would help, as this system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed and undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with the plan and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, the project was underway. In the end, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team installed 6 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem wall, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in his largest investment!

Audrey S. in Jasper, MN had some severe cracks in the walls in her basement that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She knew how costly it could be to replace her foundation entirely, so she started researching foundation repair contractors. She was glad to see that American Waterworks has been the leading contractor in foundation repair for nearly 3 decades! She contacted us for a free estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate her situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation, our production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the basement wall. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Audrey is happy she made the investment to protect her home.

Robert K. in Pipestone, MN noticed his floor sagging because there were not adequate supports in his crawl space to support the structure. One of the symptoms that alerted him to the problem was that his interior doors had started sticking. He knew it would only get worse over time if he ignored the problem, so he began to look for a foundation repair expert. He was directed to American Waterworks’ website during his research process and decided to have us come to his home and give him a FREE estimate.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, evaluated Robert’s situation and was able to develop a solution. Shane recommended that we install SmartJacks and supplemental beams to permanently repair his foundation. Robert agreed that was the right option for him, so we scheduled an installation.

Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew leveled the dirt in the crawl space and started the installation process. It took three days for the SmartJacks and beams to be installed, but Robert will reap the benefits for a lifetime since our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty. Our team also installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier (not pictured) to make it an energy efficient space and protect from excess moisture. Robert now has peace of mind that he chose to permanently protect his most important investment.

Laura T.'s foundation bricks were pushing out in her basement in Pipestone, MN. She knew of our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, so he went to Laura's house to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Eric proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is designed to straighten foundation walls back to their natural positions. Laura was confident in the product, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production crew installed our wall anchors to straighten out the foundation wall. Wall anchors are installed independently and in order for them to work efficiently, there needs to be a lot of room outside of the home. This system is installed with heavy-duty earth anchors, long, metal rods, and anchor plates. Laura thought the crew did great and she was happy with the work!
