Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hastings, MN, noticed that his basement wall had begun bowing and showing cracks, indicating poor stabilization. Knowing the issue would only continue to worsen, the homeowner began searching for foundation repair in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our before and after photos, the homeowner decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Mac C., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. Mac explained to the homeowner that one of the most common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure exerted by a fluid. When it rains or floods, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then puts tremendous pressure against the walls. To fix this issue, Mac recommended CarbonArmor, our wall reinforcing system that quickly and affordably reinforces and stabilizes foundation walls. The homeowner happily agreed to Mac's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed a total of 16 CarbonArmor. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Dylan went to Keith's home, inspected his foundation wall, and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is a rod-anchor installation.

Shannon G. in Oronoco, MN had a large crack in the foundation wall on the back of his garage. He knew that he would be taking a large risk if he chose to wait to repair his foundation, because it could fail at any time, and become a much larger expense. He started researching foundation repair companies when he saw an advertisement for American Waterworks.

Rick talked him through his options and he developed a plan that was the most beneficial for him. After meeting with Rick and getting his questions and concerns addressed, Shannon felt that we were the best fit for him, so he scheduled a date for the installation.

Our crew installed 4 wall anchors from the outside of his garage into the soil underneath the concrete in the garage. They drilled long rods through the brick until they hit supportive soil. They removed the concrete in the garage where they would need to put on the plates for the anchors. They installed the plates on either end of the rod and tightened the anchors. Lastly, they replaced the concrete and cleaned up their work area. The anchors secure and stabilize the wall. They continue to straighten the walls and can be tightened over time as the wall gradually moves back into place. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Shannon can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to protect the foundation of his home.
