American Waterworks Before & After Photos

The representatives at Stadheim Properties in Owatonna, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The building had two foundation walls that were cracked and bowing. They were remodeling the building at the time and wanted an estimate and the work done as soon as possible. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to meet with the representatives, evaluate the situation, and propose a solution for the building. Ryan recommended our Geo-Lock Channel Anchors to permanently stabilize the walls. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew got to work installing the 26 Geo-Lock Channel Anchors. They began the project by excavating the soil outside of the building and drilling small holes through the foundation wall that correspond to each anchor location. The steel anchor rods were driven through the holes, extending all the way to the earth anchor holes where an anchor plate was securely attached. After fastening the earth anchor outside, the crew mounted the steel channel anchors to the foundation wall on the inside and secured the channel anchors to the floor for optimal bracing and failure protection. The Geo-Lock system stops the foundation walls from moving inwards and also provides the opportunity to straighten the walls over time. The representatives at Stadheim Properties were happy with the results and glad they chose to invest in a long-term solution. 

Glenda G. of Owatonna, MN wanted to determine what was causing the cracks in her basement foundation wall. She found American Waterworks on Google, so she called the number that was available. Our office staff got her scheduled for a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric. Eric went to Glenda's home, inspected the wall, and proposed our Wall Anchor System for the repairs. Our Wall Anchor System is designed to stabilize foundation walls while offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost or construction of a replacement. Wall anchors are our utility foundation repair system because they can be used to stabilize walls with a variety of different problems. Our production Foreman and his crew installed the three wall anchors in one day, and Glenda was very pleased with the work that was done!

While going through her basement, a homeowner noticed water coming in through the wall and forming a puddle at the base of her foundation. She was concerned about the issue getting worse and wanted to find a solution sooner rather than later. She found the American Waterworks website during her research of companies that could help this kind of problem and was happy to see our FREE estimate services. After she scheduled her appointment we sent over Design Specialist, Adam Voigt, a few days later to check out the water damage. Adam informed the homeowner that he was familiar with this problem and recommended using our WaterGuard system to stop the current water damage and prevent new damage from happening. He explained that WaterGuard is a perimeter drain system specifically engineered to fix basement water problems effectively without the issues of clogging from soil and sediment. She agreed to the product and was eager to get the problem fixed. Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew came in with the plans and carried out the installation to eliminate the water and clean up the area. The homeowner was thrilled to have the issue gone and very happy with American Waterworks' services.
