Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Anna H. in Maiden Rock, WI noticed that the moisture in her crawl space and was interested in encapsulation. She did her research and chose to contact American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, to her home to inspect his crawl space and design a solution. 

Mike recommended our crawl space vapor barrier, TerraBlock insulation, and also having SmartJacks installed in the crawl space to support the old, sagging beam. Our production crew installed 3 SmartJacks and 15ft of supplemental beams. Our crawl space structural support jacks, called SmartJacks, are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance and can support loads of more than 60,000lbs! Our SmartJacks are the ONLY crawl space support jacks that address problem soils, so the SmartJacks provide a permanent solution for rotting, sagging floor beams. Anna was pleased with the transformation and glad she made the investment to protect her home!

Karen R. in Pine Island, MN had a shifting foundation wall that needed some support. Karen was concerned about the structural integrity of her home and wanted a cost-effective solution with minimal disturbance. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew installed 7 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing wall. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. Karen was impressed with the quick installation, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A Pine Island, MN, homeowner was doing laundry when she noticed a large crack in her foundation, running the length of the basement. Upon further investigation, she found that the wall was compromised in several areas. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began searching for a reputable foundation company in Pine Island, MN. One night, she was watching TV and saw one of our ads. She decided to call us, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Darin informed the homeowner that she was right to contact us. He went on to say that while the problem seemed daunting, American Waterworks could easily address the issue using our GeoLock wall anchors. This unique foundation wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. This system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to straighten your foundation walls further and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's plan, and the job was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to install 7 of our GeoLock wall anchors around the basement of the home. 

Now our customers can enjoy their space without worries of foundation troubles!

Bob J. in Lansing, MN was experiencing water leaking into his basement. He wasn't quite sure where the water was coming from so he decided to contact a professional to inspect his basement. He called American Waterworks and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a solution and a free estimate. During the inspection, we discovered that his basement walls had started to crack and bow inward. This was one of the entry points for the water. We also found water seeping up through the floor in one of the corners of the basement. Bob was pleased with the thorough plan that our Design Specialist developed, so he chose to move forward with the installation. 

Our production crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement floor, a SuperSump sump pump in the corner and 3 wall anchors to repair the damaged foundation wall. The process took two days to complete, but now Bob's peace of mind is restored. His basement is now a dry, healthier space, and he is confident that the walls of his home are stable. He is glad he found a solution to repair his home for the long-term.
