Before & After Photos

Karen R. in Pine Island, MN had a shifting foundation wall that needed some support. Karen was concerned about the structural integrity of her home and wanted a cost-effective solution with minimal disturbance. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew installed 7 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing wall. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. Karen was impressed with the quick installation, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A Pine Island, MN, homeowner was doing laundry when she noticed a large crack in her foundation, running the length of the basement. Upon further investigation, she found that the wall was compromised in several areas. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began searching for a reputable foundation company in Pine Island, MN. One night, she was watching TV and saw one of our ads. She decided to call us, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Darin informed the homeowner that she was right to contact us. He went on to say that while the problem seemed daunting, American Waterworks could easily address the issue using our GeoLock wall anchors. This unique foundation wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. This system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to straighten your foundation walls further and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's plan, and the job was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to install 7 of our GeoLock wall anchors around the basement of the home. 

Now our customers can enjoy their space without worries of foundation troubles!

In Newport, MN, a homeowner had noticed that the floor on their main floor began sinking, causing it to slope. Concerned for their home, the homeowner began looking into sagging floor solutions and found our company. After browsing our website and wanted to find a trusted solution, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, our Design Specialists used our advanced tools to see how far the flooring had sunken and looked for other foundation issues. To lift the floor back to its original position and stabilize it, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks, our steel piers installed along the flooring of the basement to the floor joist to stop further movement. Happy that our products come with a warranty, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Gus R., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 3 SmartJacks!

A homeowner in Stewartville, MN called us with concerns about her bowing basement wall. You can see the shift in the wall structure between the bricks in our before photo.  American Waterworks was able to stabilize the wall with our patented PowerBrace System preventing any further bowing or cracking of the foundation.  

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!
