Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bay City, WI had an older home and the past few years had developed concerns about the state of his foundation. He decided to take action and get feedback from an expert on how stable and secure it was. During his online search, he found the American Waterworks company website and was impressed with the number of positive past customer reviews and the products that we offered. He signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate appointment and was later greeted by one of our Design Specialists to inspect the home. The Design Specialist decided that the foundation at the front of the home was becoming weaker and suggested using our HelicalPiers to stabilize and even possibly lift the area back to a proper level. The homeowner was glad to hear the plan and agreed to the project plans. One of our Foremen, Jose Castillo, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installations of three HelicalPiers underneath the front door space. The homeowner was pleased with the work done and happy with the results.

Bryan H. of Clear Lake, IA had a cracked foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about further bowing or cracking. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Bryan understood its design and got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the project by digging three small holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. In the basement, Jesus and his crew inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside, and tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes a foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the compact soil and pulling it back to its original position. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. To complete the installation, Jesus and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Bryan said he was happy with the project! 

Susan B. of Clear Lake, IA had sagging floor joists and water leaking into her crawl space, and it made her worry about the structural build of her home. She did research online and came across American Waterworks. She called our office line to learn more information and request a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected her crawl space, and drew out a detailed plan. Susan was comfortable with the presentation and proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by installing our drainage matting. The purpose of drainage matting is to direct the water flooding the crawl space into the perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump system. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space perimeter. Our Foamax is a foam insulation that reduces moisture condensation, provides comfort, and makes the walls look nice and bright. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the drainage matting. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is made to stop moisture from passing through the walls and floors. Lastly, Juan and his team installed our crawl space SmartJacks, which provides solid support for sagging beams and restores the stability in a crawl space. Susan had a remarkable experience! 

Darren M. of Clear Lake, IA had bowing walls in his basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. He called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to his home, inspected his walls, and proposed our PowerBraces Foundation Repair System. Darren got all of his questions answered, so he got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew installed our PowerBraces along the bowed foundation wall, providing the wall with the ability to straighten over time. Over time, our PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Darren was thrilled with the work, and his peace of mind was restored!

Worried there was a larger issue at hand, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair near them. After comparing several companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. Ryan arrived at the home and began the detailed investigation of the foundation. After he had completed the in-depth estimate, Ryan approached the homeowner with his concerns and suggested a solution to stop the issue from progressing. The homeowner trusted Ryan's suggested solution and the plans were directed to the office for the final stamp of approval. The office sent the plans to our Foreman, Diego, and crew. Once they received the plan, the crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, the crew prepped the wall for the GeoLock Wall Anchor installation.

The crew installed three GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north foundation wall. Once all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.
