Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Stockton, MN had sagging floors, causing them to worry about the structural build of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate for the problems that they were facing. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and determined a solution that worked for them and their needs. After a clear diagnosis, the homeowners were confident in the proposal of our SmartJack Foundation Repair System, so they signed the proposal and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed our SmartJacks around the entire basement. Our SmartJacks are designed to restore the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists, wall cracks, and unbalanced door frames. Along with that, they can support more than 60,000 pounds and are galvanized for resistance to corrosion. Over time, the homeowner can adjust the SmartJack to ensure it is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, our Foreman did a final walkthrough with the homeowners and answered any last-minute questions they had. They were happy with the work that was done and had a great experience!

Gary M. of Winona, MN had an inward bowing wall in his basement and he wanted to get it repaired before it got too late. He had previous work done by American Waterworks and had a good experience, so he decided to have work done by us again. Our Design Specialist, Mac, sold him our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System, which is designed to stabilize failing basement walls, giving them the ability to straighten over time. Gary moved forward with our project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our production Foreman, Matt, and his production crew installed our PowerBraces against the bowed foundation wall and completed the project in one day. Gary was happy with the repairs and his peace of mind was restored!

Homeowners in Stockton, MN had sagging floor joists in their basement, causing them to worry about the structural integrity of their home. They conducted research on foundation repair companies in their service area and came across American Waterworks. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house for a FREE estimate, carefully inspected their sagging floors, and proposed the solution of our SmartJacks, which are installed in basements and crawl spaces. They are designed to fix problems such as sloping and springy floors and interior wall cracks. The homeowners were confident in the solution, so they went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed 13 of our SmartJacks throughout the basement to provide a solid support system for the sagging and undersized beams. Our SmartJacks can support more than 60,000 pounds and they can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure it is sticking to its design. The homeowners were happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!

Carla C.'s foundation wall was cracking horizontally and bowing slightly. She went on Google, hoping to find a local contractor that could help her. She came across American Waterworks and our foundation repair products, so she scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Carla's house, inspected the foundation wall, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System. Carla was comfortable and confident with Mac's presentation, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production crew installed five of our wall anchors, which are heavy-duty galvanized earth anchors that are embedded into stable soil outside of the foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a long, steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the wall. This system provides the potential to straighten the wall back to its natural position. To complete the project, our Foreman gave a thorough walkthrough with Carla, ensuring she was happy and comfortable with the final product!

A Winona, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement wall for some time now. He had been aware of a large crack running the length of one of the walls and was ready to find a solution. He took to the internet to search for 'structural foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He was impressed with the other foundation repair jobs we had completed in his area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, was headed out to the home.

Michel's inspection was scheduled for 3 hours, during which time he inspected the basement, the basement walls, and the exterior of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations and answer any questions he had. Michel began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of a wall exceeds what it can withstand, homeowners will commonly see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, and/or tiling inward at the top. Michel reassured the homeowner that while the diagnosis might seem a bit scary, he had just the solution to fix the problem: our PowerBrace system. Michel explained that these steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. Over time, the PowerBraces can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner loved the idea of having a system that could move through the home's various stages of life and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team successfully installed 2 PowerBraces on the problem wall, restoring our customer's trust in her home!
