Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jen D. of Jamestown, ND had bowed foundation walls in her basement, causing her to worry about the structural build and stability of her home. She knew of our Design Specialist, Ian, so she scheduled a FREE estimate with him to inspect her walls and draw up a solution. After a thorough inspection, Jen felt comfortable in Ian's proposal, and was confident in our products and their warranties, so she went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to Jen and ensuring all of her questions were answered. After a thorough introduction, our team got to work and installed our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are specifically made to stabilize basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Jen was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience with our team from start to finish!

Anna S. of Jamestown, ND had a failing foundation wall in her apartment that needed to be stabilized. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Anna's apartment, carefully inspected her wall, and determined a solution that would work for Anna and her home repair needs. Ian proposed our PowerBraces Wall Repair System, which keeps bowing walls straight. Anna was confident in Ian's proposal, so she signed his contract, wrote out a deposit check, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed ten of our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are designed to straighten the walls and can be tightened over time by the homeowner. 

The installation process: 

Step 1: Our team cuts the wall braces to ensure the PowerBrace is cut to size based on the wall height. 

Step 2: Our team attaches a brace to the floor joist near the top of the wall and the bracket gets bolted to the floor joist. 

Step 3: Our crew will use a level to ensure the position of each beam is balanced and straight. 

Step 4: To complete the installation, our team attaches each beam to the concrete floor with a bracket that bolts in place. 

Step 5: Our team will tighten the beam with a torque wrench, which forces the wall back into its original position. 

Dennis S. of Jamestown, ND had a bowing wall in his basement, and he wanted to get it repaired before it bowed more. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to Dennis's house, inspected his walls, and proposed our Wall Reinforcing System. Dennis was confident in Kole's proposal, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed our CarbonArmor Reinforcing Strips to help reinforce the bowing walls. This system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize the walls. In fact, it is proven to be 10 times stronger than steel.

Kelly S. of Jamestown, ND wanted her crawl space encapsulated and her sagging floors lifted. She knew of our Design Specialist, Ian, so she had him come out to her house for a FREE estimate and inspection. While Ian was there, he looked around and diagnosed the problems in the crawl space, and drew up a detailed solution. Kelly was confident in Ian's proposal, so she signed the contract, put down a deposit, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew started the project by installing our Crawl Space Support Posts, which lift and stabilize the sagging floors and floor joists. This system can hold up to loads of 60,000 pounds and is corrosion-resistant. It is also compatible with our crawl space encapsulation system, which in this case, Kelly did want hers encapsulated as well. Next, our crew installed our encapsulation vapor barrier around the entire crawl space, which is made to prevent mold, humidity, and pests, provide extra storage space, and save money on energy bills. Kelly was happy with the work and her peace of mind was restored!

A homeowner from North Dakota contacted us pertaining to a deteriorating wall. The couple was interested in moving and didn't want to run into any issues when trying to sell their home. The walls in question were stone walls that were crumbling and had concrete peeling. Our Design Specialist, Ian, concluded the best next step would be to install Wall Recovery on the portions of the wall that were compromised. Our Foreman, Cameron, went out to the property to install the Wall Recovery, which is sprayable concrete used to repair cracks, crumbling, and peeling concrete. Now the home is ready for new owners!
