American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Waseca, MN, had been keeping an eye on his home's foundation for years now. Small cracks had slowly been forming over the years. The homeowner was slowly growing more and more concerned about the issue and decided to address the problem. He began to look for foundation repair companies in Minnesota and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, was scheduled to stop at the home. 

When Eric arrived at the property, he got right to work assessing the basement. The homeowner's concerns were quickly validated, as Eric explained that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from the top, not the sides. He went on to say that when side pressure on a wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, cracking, bowing, and tilting inward can occur. For this reason, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the problem. Eric explained that GeoLock anchors counteract the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the failing wall to the undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. In many instances, these anchors can be tightened as time goes on to give the home more stability as it continues to settle. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's solution and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Raul B, led his team through the installation of 13 of our GeoLock anchors around the foundation of the home. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation issues have been conquered! 

Bev H. of Morristown, MN had bowed foundation walls so she called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Bev was comfortable with the proposal so she got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the installation by digging two holes outside of the left side of the home. In each hole, our team installed a long, metal rod from the exterior soil to the interior foundation wall. On each end of the rod, our crew installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, will tighten and straighten the foundation walls back into their normal position. To complete the installation, Hugo and his team replaced the exterior soil and backfilled each hole. Bev was thrilled with the outcome and couldn't believe the project only took one day! 

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.

Tammy F. of Bricelyn, MN was having concerns about her existing sump pump leaking water into her basement. After doing some research online, she had American Waterworks come to her home for a FREE Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to her home to inspect the issue and come up with a solution. Tammy was confident with Dylan's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replaced it with our SuperSump Sump Pump System, which is made to keep basements dry for a long period of time, then re-applied new concrete. Tammy was excited with the outcome, and no longer has sump pump problems! 

Michael C. in Rosemount, MN realized that their deck had started sinking and it was putting stress on the home. He could see the brick landscaping buckling, which is a symptom of settling foundation. A friend recommended that he should get in touch with American Waterworks to help with his foundation repair needs. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to give a FREE estimate. Jeremy recommended that he should have our helical piers installed to level the deck and prevent any further damage to the home. Michael agreed that that was the best option, so we sent our production crew to do the installation. 

Our crew installed 4 helical piers under the deck posts to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. The piers now relieve the stress that the settling deck was causing to the home. Our piers are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Michael can rest easy knowing he invested in a permanent solution that provides the necessary support for his deck.
