Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Bill L. in Saint Ansgar, WI had a bowing wall in his basement, so he started looking into repair options. While researching foundation repair, he came across American Waterworks’ website. He contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. Pete recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize Bill’s foundation wall. Bill agreed and was pleased with the proposal that Pete developed, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled small holes in the wall and inserted long metal rods. The metal rods extend through the wall and into the soil outside of the home. Then, the rod is secured with metal plates on each end. They tighten the anchors and the wall starts to straighten and stabilize. The anchors can be tightened over time so that the foundation wall gradually becomes straighter and straighter. Our wall anchors are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bill is glad he chose the right solution to secure his home for the long-term.

Our Logistics team gave the final stamps of approval, then the project was assigned to our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew. The project date arrived a few weeks later, then Gabriel and his crew traveled to the home to begin the GeoLock Wall Anchor installation.

Brian T. of New Auburn, WI was having issues in his crawl space, causing him to worry about the value of his home. He saw one of our commercials on television, so he got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck Haldeman. Chuck went to Brian's home, carefully inspected his crawl space, and drew up a solution that would fulfill Brian's wants and needs as a homeowner. Brian was confident in Chuck's proposal and presentation, so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew started the installation by installing our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, which prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. Along with protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space is inhospitable to termites, cockroaches, and other pests that need excess moisture to survive. By sealing the crawl space, it also keeps away odors that would rise up through the floor and into your home. Next, our team installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams and restores the stability of sagging floor joists. In this case, our vapor barrier and SmartJacks were compatible, allowing Brian to address the crawl space mold and humidity problems while also repairing the structural issue. Brian was thrilled with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!
