Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Tomah, WI noticed small cracks forming along her foundation wall. It wasn't until she noticed the wall bowing and tilting inward where she quickly took action. She had heard about our services through friends and immediately knew that we would do the job correctly and in a timely manner. She took advantage of our FREE estimate and scheduled a time for one of our experts to inspect the issue.

Our Design Specialist, Will R traveled to the home and explained to the homeowner that the issue could be fixed with our PowerBrace, a wall repair system that's designed to keep bowing walls at bay. Will explained that the PowerBrace is installed by cutting the braces to the appropriate height of your wall. It is then placed on the failing wall and secured to the floor and top of the wall. After it is attached it is then tightened to straighten that wall. The homeowner agreed and Will's plans were quickly sent to our Foreman, Diego B, and his crew. On the day of the installation Diego B and his crew installed 5 PowerBrace's satisfying our customer. Now, our customer no longer has to worry about her failing wall.

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN, noticed a large crack growing across their foundation wall. Worried their foundation was in serious trouble, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner investigated “cracked foundation repair near me” and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our award-winning solutions, the homeowner knew we were their best option. Since they were on our website, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists to take a closer look. The Design Specialist arrived and began the thorough inspection. After taking a closer look, the Design Specialist confirmed the foundation was cracking due to settlement.  The homeowner decided to go ahead with the Design Specialists' recommendations. Next, the Design Specialist passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and approve the project. Our Logistics team built the project and scheduled it for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Kiko and his crew made sure his walls were ready for installation. Next, Kiko and his crew installed the Geolock Wall Anchors on the struggling wall. After all the Geolock Wall Anchors were secured, Kiko and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' damaged walls.

A homeowner in Saint Joseph, MN, had noticed staircase cracks had formed along her basement walls and was concerned they would continue to grow, leading to further instability. She looked into services in the area and came upon one of our ads on social media. She took it upon herself to browse through our website and was impressed with our "Before and After" photos. Soon after browsing our website, she decided to contact us to claim her FREE estimate.

Our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home in several weeks and assessed the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the most common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by fluid. When the soil surrounding the foundation gets saturated with water, it puts tremendous pressure on the walls. Once the pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see bowing, sheeting, and cracks in the foundation walls. Due to this reason, Daniel recommended our PowerBrace. He explained to the homeowner that our PowerBrace is installed by first cutting the braces so that it fits the height of the wall. Then, the top of the brace is attached to a floor joist at the top of the wall. The crew would then straighten the brace and attach it to the floor. Alongside stabilizing the foundation walls, our PowerBrace has the potential to straighten the walls over time. The homeowner was grateful for Daniel's explanation and agreed to his suggestion. Daniel's plans were then sent to our Foreman, Diego B., for the installation. 

In a couple of months, Diego and his crew arrived at the home. They installed a total of three of our PowerBrace. Once they were done with the project, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Jeff and Heidi B. of Eastman, WI had cracked walls in their basement, making them feel nervous and unsafe living in their home. After doing some research on our website, they called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen. Jeremy went to their home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Jeff and Heidi felt comfortable with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by digging 11 holes outside of the home. Next, Juan and his team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside of the basement, through the foundation, to each hole outside of the home. Our team tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the ends of each rod to pull the walls back and stabilize them into their natural positions. To complete the project, Juan and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Jeff and Heidi were thrilled with the work completed and had a remarkable experience from beginning to end!

A homeowner from Norwalk, WI, had been monitoring his garage for some time. Over the years, he had noticed the formation of several cracks in the foundation. The cracks had progressed so much that the homeowner could tell the wall was beginning to bow inward. He knew he had to act fast to save his garage so he began to look for WI foundation repair. On the recommendation of a local contractor, he was directly to us. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the space.
