Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Luke I. of Rochester, MN had a failing garage foundation wall because of the hill and soil behind his home. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Luke's home to inspect the foundation wall and provide a solution that would work for him and his needs. Luke was confident in Mac's proposal of our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System and its product features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team installed five of our 10-foot-tall PowerBraces. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, homeowners can manually tighten our PowerBraces to make the bowing or tilting wall more vertical. The project took less than a day, and Luke was happy with the repairs!

Lori B. in Rochester, MN contacted American Waterworks after realizing that the foundation of her home was failing. She wanted to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to inspect her home and provide her with a solution. Dustin developed a thorough plan to permanently restore her foundation.

Using wall anchors, our production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. In order to straighten the wall, they had to dig out the soil pushing against the foundation. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. This process gradually straightened the foundation wall, and permanently secured it. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing altogether and saved the homeowner from the expenses of a full foundation replacement.

A Rochester, MN, homeowner had noticed his attached porch was showing signs of sinking over time. Not wanting to have to re-install the porch later down the road, the homeowner began to look for a company that could help. One day, the homeowner was at the Rochester Home & Lifestyles home show, when he met Brad W, one of our local Design Specialists. The two got to chatting about the issue, and the homeowner signed up for his FREE estimate on the spot. A few weeks later, Brad headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After a thorough inspection, Brad met with the homeowner to discuss next steps and his recommendations. Brad informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could effectively reverse the problem with the help of our helical piers. Brad explained that the helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. In many scenarios, these piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan, and the work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team installed 4 of our helical piers in no time. Now our customer can continue to enjoy his porch for years to come!

In Rochester, MN, a homeowner had noticed their foundation wall starting to shift inward. Concerned for the integrity of their home, the homeowner knew it would be best to address the issue as soon as possible rather than waiting until it worsens.

They knew it would be the perfect opportunity to express their concerns.
