Before & After Photos

Rick M. of Enderlin, ND had bowing walls in his basement, making him worry about the structural build and safety of his home. He knew one of our employees, so he went with American Waterworks for the repairs. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Sales Manager, Mike Radosevich. Mike inspected his problems and came up with a solution that worked for him and his budget. Rick was happy with Mike's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew installed our PowerBraces around his basement wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces is a foundation wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, they can be tightened by the homeowner to make the bowed walls straighter and more vertical. Rick was happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

Andrea from Climax, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that her basement walls were beginning to bow inward, showing signs of failing. Andrea was afraid that if left unresolved, she would risk compromising the home's structural integrity. She called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate and shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. 

Ian recommended that Andrea invest in both our PowerBrace Wall System and our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. 

Once approved, our Foreman and his crew got to work. First, 12 GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed; this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Our Foreman explained to Andrea that the anchors can be tightened over time. Then, the team got to work strategically placing PowerBraces around the basement, inserting a total of 12 PowerBraces to further stabilize the wall. These were also installed with WaterGuard brackets for use in future waterproofing. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the home's support beams and the concrete, on which the home lies. 

Andrea's peace of mind was restored, and she was glad that she placed her trust in our team in ensuring her basement walls are no longer an issue.

A homeowner in Roseau, MN had cracked and inward bowing walls in their basement, making them feel uncomfortable living in their own home. They did some research on our website and came across our foundation repair products. They called our office line to learn a bit more and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a detailed and thorough diagnosis, the homeowner was comfortable with the proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by digging four holes in front of the home. Our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. Next, our crew tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the end of each rod in the soil to anchor itself there and brace the foundation wall. Lastly, Matt and his team installed and tightened four of our GeoLock Channel Anchors inside of the foundation wall, which are made to straighten cracking and bowing walls over time. To complete the project, our crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. The homeowner was thrilled with the work, and had a great experience!

A homeowner in Oakes, ND, tripped walking into their home one evening. Concered that others would be injured, the homeowner knew they needed to fix the issue. The homeowner began looking into "sunken concrete repair near Oakes, ND" and their eye was caught by us, American Waterworks. After seeing our impressive reviews and services, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to the home to inspect the sinking concrete. During his investigation, Dylan discovered the walkway was sinking into the ground due to settlement. To stop the settlement from continuing, Dylan recommended lifting and leveling the walkway back to its original state. The homeowner agreed with Dylan's recommendations, so he sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the project was built, the proposal was sent to our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew. Charlie and his crew traveled to the home and started the lift. The crew utilized PolyLevel, our polyurethane foam injection solution, to lift the walkway back to its original level. Once the walkway was lifted back to its original level, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the front yard cleaner than they arrived. American Waterworks is happy to repair its homeowner's struggling concrete. 

Jon, a homeowner in Fort Ransom, ND had sagging floor joists in his basement space, causing him to worry about the structural hold and stability of the home. After coming across our contact, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to the property to carefully inspect his problems and come up with a solution. Jon got all of his questions answered and was confident in Richie's presentation and design of the project. 

Our Foreman, Zachary, and his production team installed 2 8' 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. This SmartJack system was paired with a supplemental beam and Joist Assist Bracket to secure the system. When the job was done, Jon was satisfied with the project and was grateful we could assist him with his home repair needs!
