Cracked Foundation Repaired with Wall Anchors in Forest City, IA

Christina M. in Forest City, IA noticed some cracking and bowing of her basement wall and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to inspect her home and provide her with the best solution. Ryan developed a thorough, unique proposal to permanently restore her foundation. Christina approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. Wall anchors should be tightened over time to continue the process of straightening the damaged wall. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing completely and now Christina’s peace of mind is restored knowing her foundation is permanently stabilized.

Waterproofing in Forest City, IA

Bryan A. in Forest City, IA was tired of dealing with a wet basement after heavy rains and snow melt. The water had started to cause damage to his property and was creating a musty, unhealthy space. He heard our advertisement on the radio and decided to give us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to meet with him and evaluate the situation. Dylan designed a thorough plan and assured Bryan that our waterproofing system would provide a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Bryan’s basement by first removing the concrete around the inside perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor. Next, they installed 164 feet of our WaterGuard drainage System and 36 feet of lateral line. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner, filled the gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard, to the SuperSump, and is quietly, and efficiently discharged from the home. Bryan was pleased with the results, and glad he made the investment to protect his home. 

Sunken Driveway Raised in Roberts, WI

Mike S. in Roberts, WI was tired of having a sunken driveway that was causing a trip hazard. The driveway had settled a couple of inches below the concrete garage floor. He contacted us to receive a FREE estimate! Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to his home to inspect his concrete problem and develop a solution. Mike was pleased to learn the our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is a durable, faster and more affordable option than traditional concrete repair, so he scheduled the project.

Our PolyLevel experts, drilled very small holes into the concrete and injected the PolyLevel foam through the holes until the concrete was raised and level with the garage floor. The process took about half a day, and Mike was happy with how non-invasive it was. Mike can now enjoy a beautiful and level driveway for years to come!

Concrete Lifting Contractor in Roberts, WI

Ted B. of Roberts, WI had a sinking concrete slab and he wanted to get it lifted so everything could be level. He found American Waterworks online and did some research on our website. Ted liked what he saw, so he scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, James. James went to Ted's home, carefully inspected his concrete, and proposed a solution. Ted got all of his questions answered so he got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Sam, and his crew member injected our PolyLevel underneath the slab to fill the open voids and to raise and stabilize the surface. Next, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks, which is designed to prevent water moisture from seeping underneath and to give the concrete a clean, polished appearance. Ted had a great experience with our team and was very happy!

Basement Stabilized and Waterproofed in Conger, MN

John of Conger, MN had water leaking through his bowing foundation walls and needed repair done right away. After seeing American Waterworks on channel 3 KIMT TV News, he called our office to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist went to his home to inspect the problems and come up with a solution. John felt comfortable with the proposal so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which is an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Sump Pump which is designed to keep basements dry for long periods of time. Next, our crew applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement walls which is a plastic vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity build-up and serves as an extra protectant. Lastly, Hugo and our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize and straighten the walls back into their normal positions. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. John's peace of mind was restored and he felt much more safe and comfortable living in his own home!
