Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was experiencing structural issues due to excess force being pushed on the wall from the side. He went on to say that he wanted to use our Channel Anchors to address the issue. GeoLock® Channel Anchors are a versatile, effective system that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan, and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of  Channel Anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his foundation is stable! 

Client tried several alternatives to prevent foundation from sinking, but the home continued to do so.  With a little help from American Waterwork's piering system, we were able to fix the problem and prevent any further damage to the home.  

A homeowner in Tomah, WI noticed seapage through their drywall and called American Waterworks to investigate the issue.  After a thorough analysis Tom noticed a crack in the homeowner's foundation that was causing the leak.  American Waterworks was able to install The FlexiSpan system in which seals the wall crack as a first line of defense.   But if any water should leak through the crack, a hidden, foam-lined channel transports this leakage to the waterproofing system.  Peace of mind for a lifetime!

A Tomah, WI, homeowner had been eyeing his basement walls for some time now. He could have sworn that, over time, the wall had slowly been showing signs of tilting inward. The homeowner didn't know of any local foundation repair companies, but on the recommendation of a friend, decided to call American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, one of our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the basement to examine the wall and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his results. 

He began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not from the side. So, when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, homeowners will see bowing, cracking, sliding in at the bottom, or tilting inward at the top. Our Design Specialist then reassured the homeowner that while this issue seems daunting, the solution is relatively simple and non-invasive. Our Design Specialist wanted to use our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. He explained that CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls. It's comprised of epoxy and carbon fiber to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. While this method does not restore a bowed wall, it will halt further movement and cracks. The homeowner was happy with our recommendation, and decided to sign on the spot. 
On the day of the installation, our crew, led by their Foreman Chris N, worked hard to install 7 CarbonArmor straps throughout the basement and on the wall in question. When the process had been completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know that he could put his foundation worries in the past!
