Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, noticed the stair-step cracks in their wall were worsening over time. Concerned it would never get better, the homeowner wanted to find a permanent solution. After comparing several companies, only American Waterworks stood out to the homeowner. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. Once Ryan arrived, he began his thorough investigation of the cracked and damaged basement wall. Ryan determined the wall cracks were being caused by improperly filled soil. To stop the cracks from growing and spreading, Ryan recommended stabilizing the wall using GeoLock Wall Anchors. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's suggestions, so the plans were passed along to our office, and then to our Foreman, Chris. Once Chris received the plans, he and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. Once they arrived, they started by installing five GeoLock Wall Anchors to the west basement wall. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew completed the project and cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent and swift work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's cracked, unstable wall.

A homeowner from Spring Valley, WI, was down in the basement of his home one evening when he realized one of his basement walls was showing signs of bowing inward. He had no idea who to call about the issue, so he immediately took to the internet and searched 'structural foundation repair near me.' He quickly found our website and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac, was headed out to the home. 

When Mac arrived, he got right to work assessing the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that there are numerous causes of foundation failure but that he believed we had a solution to the problem. Mac wanted to use our CarbonArmor wall reinforcement straps. Mac explained that CarbonArmor straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing.  The super strong carbon fiber straps are attached to the wall with epoxy and halt further movement or cracks. The homeowner liked Mac's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of 13 CarbonArmor straps throughout the basement. Now, our customer can put his foundation worries behind him!
