Before & After Photos

The foundation and concrete blocks of Dirk G.'s home in Red Lake, MN was starting to cave in and the home was starting to fall in. Dirk got in contact with American Waterworks and our Design Specialist, Nick, went to his home to inspect his walls and determine a solution that would fit his needs and budget. Dirk was confident in the solution of our PowerBraces, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production crew installed 12 of our PowerBraces to straighten the foundation walls. Our PowerBraces can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. They also provide a clean appearance to the basement, they are coated with zinc so they don't attract rust, and there is very minimal disruption to the basement space. Dirk was thrilled with the work and project completion!

A homeowner in Lester Prairie, MN, noticed their wall was beginning to crack. Knowing this was not a good sign, the homeowner decided to look into foundation repair options. The homeowner took to Google and searched "foundation repair near me". American Waterworks was positioned near the top of that list, so they decided to look into our service. After seeing our impressive list of services, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Soon after the appointment was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Eric arrived at the home and began by completing the inspection of the basement. Following his detailed inspection, Eric determined that the southwest wall required permanent stabilization. Eric recommended that PowerBraces be installed in the home to provide further support. The homeowner knew that this would provide a long-term fix, so they went along with Eric's plan. Once they got the stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Chris, and his crew. They arrived and began by making sure the space was ready for production. The crew installed four PowerBraces along the southwest basement wall. After the PowerBraces were properly secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed by the work completed by the crew and left a glowing review. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe. 

Sadie and Scott C. of Wahpeton, ND were experiencing some problems in their home. Their main-story floors were sinking into their basement, causing them to consider the value and stability of their house. They went to their local home show to see if they could find any contractors who could help them with their problems. They came across our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, at our booth and they talked to him about their home repair needs. Sadie and Scott signed up for a FREE Estimate, so Rick went to their home the next day to inspect their problems and come up with a solution. After an in-depth examination of their home, Sadie and Scott got all of their questions answered, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his team installed two of our SmartJacks. Our SmartJacks are made to provide support for over-sized or sagging beams, restoring their stability and straightness. Because of its design, our SmartJacks can be adjusted and tightened over time to provide any additional straightening. Matt said Sadie and Scott were thrilled with the project and were impressed from start to finish!

Donald from Barnesville, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice a crack forming along his basement wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the wall failing even more. When he called our office, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, Kole was out at the property to see what could be done. Once he finished his walkthrough, he made his recommendations. Kole wanted to use our GeoLock anchors to fix the issue. He explained that this solution works to stabilize walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. 

The customer agreed to the solution and work began a few weeks after. Our Foreman, Zach, and his crew ended up installing 8 of our anchors throughout the basement. When work was done, our customer was happy to know that he didn't have to worry about his basement foundation any longer! 

A customer from Mahnomen, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wall was beginning to bow inwards, showing signs of wall failure. He feared that if he left the issue untreated, he could run the risk of severely compromising the structural integrity of the home. When he called our Appointment Center, they set him up with our FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once concluded, he made his recommendations to the homeowner. Because of the nature of the wall, Kole recommended they use our GeoLock wall anchors to correct the situation. He informed them that our anchors will permanently stabilize the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that, once installed, the anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew, led by our Foreman Raul, ended up installing 4 of our wall anchors throughout the basement of the home. Once the job was complete, the homeowner was happy to know that the structure of his home was fixed!
