Wall Anchors Stabilize Foundation in Nicollet, MN

Bill L. in Nicollet, MN noticed some cracking in his basement wall that was getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. He was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. After doing some research online, he came across our website and was happy to learn that we have been restoring foundations for over 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate the situation and propose the best, cost-effective solution. He was impressed with our products and Eric’s presentation, and he chose to move forward with the project. 

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. Bill was pleased with the entire process and is glad he made the investment to restore the value of his home! 

Sinking Concrete Repair in Nicollet, MN

A homeowner in Nicollet, MN, had grown concerned after noticing signs of concrete sinking around their home. Knowing they needed the right concrete repair solution, the homeowner decided to contact us and schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our concrete expert, Tony B., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he noticed signs of concrete settlement in multiple areas around the home, such as the walkway, top driveway, and back porch. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Tony began working on a concrete solution. He recommended lifting the concrete slabs with PolyLevel, our foam solution, and sealing the joints with NexusPro. Lastly, he recommended stabilizing the front deck with Helical Piers. After looking at the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations. 

In about a month, our crews arrived at the home for the installation. After everything was successfully installed, the crews cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Stopping Cracks In Their Tracks In Grove City, MN

Bob, a homeowner in Grove City, MN, was having issues in his basement, as heavy rainfall led to water intrusion. Recognizing that this could lead to even bigger problems, Bob called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane, traveled to his home to look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space. He explained that small cracks in foundation walls are common in homes throughout the Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin area. Usually a side effect of the natural curing process of concrete, these cracks do not threaten the foundation. However, even small cracks in a foundation can be a significant problem if they leak groundwater into your basement or crawl space.

Bob was glad he reached out and was excited to get started. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew headed to the basement and got to work. First, they ensured the space was cleared and ready for the demo. Then, they completed a half-wall demo to address the damage properly. Next, they implemented our FlexiSpan® Foundation Crack Repair System to repair the leaking wall cracks. It's a patented, warrantied repair and a permanent solution. 

To complete the project, our team replaced the concrete and left the area looking neater than when they found it. Bob was happy with the work that was done and was grateful we could assist him and his home repair needs! 

Leaking Wall Waterproofed in Grove City, MN

A homeowner in Grove City, MN, had noticed a damp spot on the bottom of their stairs. Concerned they were experiencing a major issue, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE basement waterproofing estimate. 

In less than a week, our Sales Manager, Shane N., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the home. During the inspection, he looked behind the wall of the steps and found mold growth. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Shane created a proposal to stop the issue. In that proposal, he recommended installing FlexiSpan, which will stop leaking wall cracks and direct the leaks to a drainage system. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

Wet Basement Restored in Bricelyn, MN

Tammy F. in Bricelyn, MN had an old sump pump in her basement that was failing and not able to keep up with typical rainfall. It was starting to cause damage to her property, so she decided it was time to have a professional look at it. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists to provide a solution. Tammy approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew got to work and installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard drains water to the newly installed SuperSump sump pump, and it is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Tammy now has peace of mind knwoing that water in her basement is no longer a concern.
