American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Rebekah M. of Jordan, MN had a basement wall that was bowing and she wanted to get it repaired before it got any worse. She got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE, no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to Rebekah's home, carefully examined her bowing wall, and came up with a solution that would work for her and her home repair needs. After a thorough walkthrough, Rebekah was confident in Shane's proposal of our Wall Anchor System, so she scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Avilez, and his production crew began the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation. Next, from the interior foundation, our crew inserted long, metal rods through the wall to each hole. In this process, each anchor is connected by the steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This process also gives it the potential to straighten back to its original position. To complete the installation, Raul and his team tightened each anchor, backfilled the holes, and ensured the soil was compacted.

Dean D. in Good Thunder, MN contacted us when he noticed that he had two severely bowing walls in his finished basement. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his walls, develop the right solution for his situation and provide him with a FREE estimate. We recommended installing wall anchors because they would permanently stabilize and start to straighten his walls and it would be far more cost-effective than replacing the foundation. He liked our solution and enjoyed working with our Specialist, so he scheduled the installation.

In order to get to the block foundation, we had to remove the drywall. We excavated the soil around the sides of the home with the bowing walls. This helps up straighten the walls back to their original position. Then we drilled small holes through the block foundation walls into the soil. We inserted long metal rods, and once the rods were in place, we secured each end with anchor plates. We tightened the anchors as far as they could go, and the wall started to straighten. Dean's basement walls have been permanently stabilized with the installation of the wall anchors. He is glad he chose to protect the foundation of his home.

A homeowner in Albany, MN, discovered a large horizontal crack along the west wall. Knowing that it was not a good sign, the homeowner looked for a second opinion. After hearing many positive reviews, the homeowner decided to work with American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After finalizing the appointment details, we sent out one of our Design Specialist, Ryan, to inspect the wall. The inspection concluded and Ryan discovered that the cause of the crack was due to the pressure of outside soil pressing on the wall. Ryan alerted the homeowners of the discovery and gave them his suggestions. After reviewing their options, the homeowners decide to utilize Ryan's suggestions. Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew traveled to the home and began repairs. First, the crew installed six Geo-Locks about five and a half feet apart. Once the Geo-Locks were put into place, the homeowners asked if a tightening kit was included. The crew showed the homeowners how to use the tightening kit and emphasized it would take some time. Once the crew finished, they cleaned the site and left the home. The homeowners were delighted that their wall was properly stabilized and would straighten with time. American Waterworks is happy to fulfill another customer's wishes. 

Robert D. of Stacy, MN had cracked concrete on his front porch, and he wanted it repaired as soon as possible. He looked up contractors online and came across American Waterworks concrete repair products. He called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ben Fort. Ben went to his home to inspect his concrete and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Robert decided to follow through with the project. 

These concrete cracks do not go unnoticed and they give moisture a way to seep beneath the slab, which allows the underlying soil to soften or wash away. To prevent that from happening, our Foreman and his crew member applied our NexusPro to seal the crack. Our NexusPro provides long-lasting flexibility and stands up to bad weather conditions. It also gives the concrete a neat and clean appearance.

A homeowner in Stacy, MN, noticed a slight gap between their sidewalk and concrete steps. Knowing this situation would only worsen, the homeowner wanted to find a permanent solution. The homeowner began looking through multiple concrete lifting services throughout their area. During their search, the homeowner stumbled upon American Waterworks' past work. Impressed by our previous work, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Romeo, to take a look at the status of the sidewalk. Upon arrival, Romeo noticed several cracks throughout the sidewalk. Following his evaluation, Romeo came up with a possible solution for the homeowners. The homeowners agreed with one of Romeo's solutions and a crew was assigned to complete the project. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home to begin lifting the concrete. The crew utilized the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution, to lift the sunken sidewalk. Additionally, the homeowner decided to lift the concrete on the back patio. Once the affected concrete was lifted, the crew filled the many cracks and filled the joints with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. Dylon and his crew completed the project and cleaned up the job site. The homeowners were thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to assist their customers in lifting and leveling their sunken concrete.
