American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Deb and her family built an addition onto their cabin in Osage, MN. However, the older part of the cabin where the bedrooms are had sagging floors and she knew they needed additional support in to be safe. Deb decided to call American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate. This entitled Deb to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed to the property and began a thorough home inspection to properly diagnose the space and propose a proper solution. Kole found by examining the crawlspace underneath the floors that they were improperly supported, so he proposed that Deb and her family invest in our SmartJack solution. Deb agreed and set an appointment to get started.

Our Foreman and his crew headed out to the property and got to work. By using 3 SmartJacks, 8 Joist Assist Brackets, and a 16ft Supplemental Beam in the crawlspace below, the team was able to stabilize the floors permanently. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. This system is also unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, so rusting isn't a worry. This means the SmartJack system can be tightened for years to come.

Deb and her family were so happy with the work and felt a sense of peace about the safety and durability of their cabin home! 

A homeowner in Young America, MN had a crack in their foundation wall and they wanted to get it fixed. They called American Waterworks to have us install one of our foundation repair systems. Our Design Specialist went to his home and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we offer because of its ability to repair bowing, cracking, buckling, or tipping walls. The homeowner went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his team installed four of our wall anchors to repair and fix the crack. To learn more about our Wall Anchor System and what it can do for your home, click HERE!

A Young America, MN, homeowner was down in his basement one day when he noticed a large crack running the length of his basement wall. He was concerned since he hadn't noticed the crack a week before, thinking that the wall might be failing faster than he realized. He decided to find a foundation repair contractor in his area. Through word of mouth recommendations, the homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. When Ryan arrived he headed to the basement to get started. Upon completion, he met with the homeowner. Ryan began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure from the side, so when the pressure being put on the side of a wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Ryan went on to say that our GeoLock wall anchors could reverse the issue, as this innovative system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the failing wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan and scheduled the work on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team were in the basement installing the system. In the end, they installed 16 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation is secure!

Thomas and Pamela O. of South Haven, MN had water leaking into their crawl space, causing them to worry about water moisture, mold, rodents, and other pests. They went online and came across our crawl space waterproofing options on our website, so they called our office phone line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home to inspect their crawl space and come up with a solution that worked for them, their home repair needs, and budget. Thomas and Pamela were both confident with Shane's proposal and presentation, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team installed 640 feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, keep pests away, provide more storage space, and decrease energy bills. The job took about two days and Thomas and Pamela could not believe the transformation. They had a remarkable experience from start to finish!

Phil H. in Belle Plaine, MN noticed that his back patio was sloping downward towards his home. Water would pool in the corner of the patio any time it rained, and he was concerned it was going to cause bigger problems, so he started looking into concrete repair. After asking around, a few people recommended that he contact American Waterworks to get a FREE estimate for concrete repair. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to his home to inspect his concrete and provide him with a solution. Phil was happy to learn that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional concrete repair, so he chose to move forward with the project.

Our concrete repair expert, Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs for the polymer foam to be injected. He injected into the foam until the slabs were raised back to their original position. Then, he filled back the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks in the concrete with our NexusPro sealant to protect it and give it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and now Phil can enjoy a beautiful, level patio for years to come!
