Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Nathan U. in Rochester, MN had our waterproofing system installed in his home. During one of his annual maintenance appointments our Senior Service Technician, Ben McKee, noticed his garage floor was uneven, and he feared the problem was only going to get worse. After a thorough inspection, he was able to recommend our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to the settlement issue. Nathan was impressed with Ben’s evaluation and the products presented, and he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by digging out the soil surrounding the home where the foundation was settling. Then, they installed heavy-duty steel brackets below the footing of the foundation. Next, rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to load-bearing soil. Lastly, the crew installed our SentrySeal membrane to seal off any cracks and prevent water from entering the basement. They replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Nathan is glad he chose to invest in the stability of his home, and we are glad we could restore his peace of mind! 

Brian B.'s foundation walls were starting to bow and crack, and he wanted to get them pulled back to their natural position. They worked with American Waterworks for the repairs. Our Design Specialist, Jesse, proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is our most versatile foundation repair system because it solves a variety of foundation problems. Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew installed four of our wall anchors along the foundation wall. This wall anchor system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the compacted soil, enabling the wall to straighten back to its natural position.

Breanne and Benedict M. of Nora Springs, IA had a bowed foundation wall and water seeping through their walls, causing them to worry about the value and safety of their home. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and drew out a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. They were confident in our proposal and presentation, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by installing our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, and act as an extra wall protectant barrier. Next, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which is a system that stabilizes basement walls, providing the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the disruption of foundation replacement. It also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position. Breanne and Benedict were happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!

Sam in Arkansaw, WI had three cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, and he wanted to have his walls repaired before the problem got any worse. After visiting a local home show and talking with one of our Design Specialists, he decided to have us inspect his foundation and provide him with a FREE estimate. Our Specialist recommended that we install wall anchors on two of the walls and PowerBraces on the other. Sam agreed that this was the best solution for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed the wall anchors by drilling small holes through the block foundation into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to permanently stabilize the wall. Next, they installed the PowerBraces, which are strong steel I-beams that are secured by brackets that are drilled into the floor and the rim joists. These two foundation repair products not only permanently stabilized Sam’s foundation, but they also provide the potential for his walls to straighten back to their original position.
