American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Lori B. in Rochester, MN contacted American Waterworks after realizing that the foundation of her home was failing. She wanted to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to inspect her home and provide her with a solution. Dustin developed a thorough plan to permanently restore her foundation.

Using wall anchors, our production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. In order to straighten the wall, they had to dig out the soil pushing against the foundation. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. This process gradually straightened the foundation wall, and permanently secured it. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing altogether and saved the homeowner from the expenses of a full foundation replacement.

Tim F. in Rochester, MN noticed a slight bow and some cracking throughout the walls in his basement. While researching foundation repair options, he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to his home to inspect the foundation and provide Tim with a solution. He was happy with Rick’s proposal and the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System that we offer. He set a date with our production crew to install the project!

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew installed the series of straps across the foundation walls to halt further movement and cracks. CarbonArmor® straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing. And because the straps don’t protrude from the wall, the repair can be easily covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The installation process moved quickly, and Tim was happy with the result. He is glad he made the investment to protect the foundation of his home.

Laurie N. in Rochester, MN was aware of the cracked and bowing walls in her basement, and she was concerned about the pressure this was putting on the foundation along with the potential damage it could cause. She was ready to start looking for a foundation repair contractor and was glad to see that we specialize in foundation repair. She contacted us and set an appointment for a FREE onsite estimate.

We sent a Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and find the right solution. In order to protect her foundation, our Design Specialist recommended that we install 12 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors around the foundation of her home. She knew how costly it could be to replace a foundation entirely, so she decided it was in her best interest to permanently stabilize the walls. 

The installation took a few days, however, our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Laurie will never again have to worry about the stability of her home.

Julie L. in Rochester, MN started noticing the squeaky, uneven floors in her home and was concerned about the stability of her crawl space and foundation. She researched foundation repair contractors and was happy to see that we are a local company and experts in crawl space repair. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, and we sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to meet with her and evaluate her situation. She approved of the proposed solution and scheduled an installation date. 

Our production crew installed 9 SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers and a supplemental beam throughout the crawl space to stabilize and level the sagging beams. The SmartJacks provide supplemental support to failing structures and can lift failing floor joists back to their original position. The crawl space support system can be installed year-round and in the tightest of crawl spaces! Julie’s peace of mind has been restored, knowing she’ll no longer have to worry about the structural integrity of her crawl space.

Luke I. of Rochester, MN had a failing garage foundation wall because of the hill and soil behind his home. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Luke's home to inspect the foundation wall and provide a solution that would work for him and his needs. Luke was confident in Mac's proposal of our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System and its product features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team installed five of our 10-foot-tall PowerBraces. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, homeowners can manually tighten our PowerBraces to make the bowing or tilting wall more vertical. The project took less than a day, and Luke was happy with the repairs!
