Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Northwood, ND, was concerned once they noticed their basement ceiling was sagging. Concerned this could been damaging, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their friends and family for any recommendations. One of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to take a closer look at the services we provide and was impressed with our previous projects. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. James arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. While investigating, James discovered the floors needed to be permanently stabilized with SmartJacks. James completed the inspection and presented his proposal to the homeowner. After hearing James' proposal, the homeowner knew this was the best option for their home. Once the plans were approved by the homeowner, it was sent to our office to be approved. After receiving the final stamp of approval, the proposal was sent to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Roel and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew ensured the home was ready for the SmartJack installation. The crew installed two SmartJacks along the struggling wall. Once the SmartJacks were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement was properly stabilized. 

Joel, a homeowner in Dazey, ND was experiencing issues in his basement space with walls moving and cracking along with water intrusion, all of which led him to call our office.

He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

The project Foreman, Domenic, and team began working on the West side of the home north of the garage, the team began by excavating the soil outside of the home as needed to prepare for the installation of our solutions. Then, they installed our SentrySeal Waterproofing Membrane to the exterior as well as our SilverGlo Insulation System to hold back moisture and ensure energy-efficient insulation. SilverGlo comibes highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. The crew also removed sheetrock to install four of our GeoLocks anchors. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are an innovative system that permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can be tightened over time. The soil was then backfilled and the team cleaned up the space. At the end of the project, Joel was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue. 

Dave from Minto, ND got in contact with us when he began to notice that one of his basement walls was beginning to show signs of bowing. Dave was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he could face serious damage to the structural integrity of the home. When he called in, we set he up with our FREE estimate, entitling Dave to a thorough, no-obligation estimate.

Shortly after scheduling, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he was able to make his recommendations. Kole recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the situation. He explained that these locks will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that, as the house shifts and settles more, the anchors can be tightened to give homeowners peace of mind for years to come. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew installed 5 of GeoLock anchors on the bowing wall in the basement. They provided the finishing touch to the foundation wall anchor system by adding the Hide-A-Way® System™ to stabilize and straighten bowing, and buckling walls. This system is great because you never need to cut or damage your finished basement walls to access and tighten your wall anchors!

Once the job was complete, Dave was happy to know he didn't need to worry about his foundation anymore! 

A homeowner in Spiritwood, ND, was searching for a foundation repair company to restore a deteriorating wall in their basement. After seeing American Waterworks' wonderful foundation restoration work, the homeowner went to our website and signed up for our FREE estimate.

After understanding the high risks, the homeowners agreed to Richie's suggestions and the restoration began.

After the wall was properly supported, the crew applied multiple layers of Shotlock onto the affected wall. The crew then smoothed and finished the surface to leave a flawless wall.
