Before & After Photos

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND, was cleaning their basement when they noticed cracks growing throughout the walls. Worried this could be a sign that their foundation was significantly damaged, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner looked into "foundation repair near West Fargo, ND" and the first company to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Once the homeowner looked over all our products and services, the homeowner knew we were the best company for them. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to the home for a detailed inspection. Ian arrived, introduced himself to the homeowner, and started the detailed inspection. During his inspection, Ian discovered the wall showed early signs of failure and needed stabilization. Once he found the cause, he was able to come up with a solution. Ian proposed installing several GeoLock Wall Anchors along several walls, and the homeowner agreed. After the homeowner approved the plans, Ian passed the proposal to the office to give the final stamp of approval. Our logistics team built the project and then scheduled it for our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Next, Franklin and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Franklin and his crew began by installing 13 GeoLock Wall Anchors on three of the foundation walls. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in stabilizing their damaged walls. 

A homeowner in Ada, MN noticed their foundation walls were beginning to separate, and decay. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowner sought a professional second opinion. The homeowners went around their neighborhood asking for advice on which company they should, and they all recommended American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the appointment was approved, we sent out a Design Specialist to survey the status of the foundation wall. Following his survey, the Design Specialist determined the wall was experiencing early stages of failure. The Design Specialist suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. Scared of the possibility of wall failure, the homeowner agreed with the Design Specialist's plan, and repairs began. 

Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew traveled to the home to begin repairs. Once they arrived, they prepared the east basement wall for the installation of the EverBrace. The EverBrace is an all-steel customized wall brace that is only offered in Fargo, ND. The homeowners only asked to have the EverBrace installed on the east basement wall, so after the installation the crew cleaned up the site and left. The homeowners were pleased with the job well done by the crew. American Waterworks is pleased to know another family was safe in their home. 

James P. of Harwood, ND had a settling foundation, and he was worried about the value of his home. He got in contact with American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to James's home, carefully inspected his foundation, and determined a solution that would benefit his wants and needs. James was confident in Richie's proposal, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed 12 of our Helical Piers, which are designed to create a solid supporting base that transfers the weight of your home downwards to strong supporting soils.

Wayne, a homeowner in Hendrum, MN, was concerned about the state of his crawlspace. The space had a floor joist cut through while the plumbing was installed in the bathroom, causing the floor to settle. After looking at what American Waterworks does, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. Following a thorough examination, Kole recommended that Wayne invest in our crawl space support posts. Specifically, Kole shared about our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Wayne was confident in the solution presented, so he proceeded with the project.

Our crew, led by our Fargo Field Supervisor, Corey, headed to the property shortly after and got to work. First, they installed a 6' supplemental support beam. To be stable, strong and level, the floor above a crawl space requires solid mid-span support, usually provided by a post-and-beam assembly. Next, the crew installed 2 1'-3' SmartJacks. The SmartJack® system supports 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. Because of the design, it can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Finally, even though the crawlspace was already encapsulated, our team needed to notch some out for the SmartJacks, which meant that we also patched up the clean space to leave it better than we found it! Wayne was satisfied with the project and was grateful we could assist him with his home repair needs!  

A homeowner from Argusville, ND was beginning to notice her floor was starting to bow. Because she knew there was a crawl space below, she had concerns about the structural integrity of the home. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the damage. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could help. Kole wanted to use our SmartJacks to address the bowing wood in the crawl space. He explained that our SmartJacks are unique in that they are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner agreed with the recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team work diligently to install 8 of our SmartJacks throughout the space. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the strength and safety of her crawl space.
