Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Robert K. in Cashton, WI had several cracks in the walls in his basement and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on his foundation. He started looking into foundation repair contractors and was glad to learn that American Waterworks is the leading contractor in foundation repair in the region. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs and goals. Robert approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and production crew got to work installing our Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System. They started the process by drilling small holes through the brick wall for long metal rods to be inserted. The rods are then stabilized on each end with a channel anchor. The Channel Anchor System provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. This solution includes a channel anchor that mounts on the foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. Robert can rest easy knowing that his foundation is now permanently stabilized.

Michelle and Alexander H. of Monona, IA had cracked foundation walls in their garage, so they called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to their home to look at the issue and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Michelle and Alexander were comfortable with Brian's offer, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew began the installation by digging four holes outside of the garage wall, and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are made to help stabilize foundation walls and straighten them out overtime. Hugo and his crew replaced the outside soil and backhilled the holes. Michelle and Alexander were pleased with the completion, and were grateful we could help them at their time of need! 

A homeowner from Sparta, WI, was down in his basement one day when he noticed that his wall seemed to be bowing inward. Immediately concerned, the homeowner began to look into foundation repair companies in Wisconsin. After finding our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Chuck H, headed out to the home. 

Chuck got right to work evaluating the basement. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Chuck wanted to use our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the sound of Chuck's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the flawless installation of 5 PowerBraces along the failing wall. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his foundation worries are in the past! 

A Sparta, WI homeowner noticed their foundation walls were uneven and cracked. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner sought a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked, bowing foundation repair near Sparta, WI". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on the website the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Chuck. After he arrived at the home, Chuck began his thorough inspection of the basement. Chuck started his thorough inspection and found that several walls were suffering from wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Chuck recommended installing several GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The homeowner agreed with Chuck's recommendations, so the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to build and approve the plans. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, they scheduled the project for the following month. After the project date arrived, our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First. Jose and his crew made sure the walls were ready for installation. Once the walls were ready, Jose and his crew installed five GeoLock Wall Anchors to the north wall. After the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist their homeowner in repairing their damaged walls. 

Diane B. in Sparta, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She noticed her garage floor was uneven, and she feared the problem was only going to get worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Diane and evaluate the situation. After his inspection, Brian recommended our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to her settlement issue. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by excavating the soil surrounding the home where the foundation had started settling until they reached the bottom of the footings. Then, they secured brackets under the footings and inserted the piers until they hit competent, supportive soil. The piers transfer the weight of the home to the supportive soil, preventing further settlement. The crew wrapped up the project with installing our frost protection system to protect against frost damage. Then, they replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Diane was happy she chose to invest in the stability of her home, and we are glad we could restore her peace of mind!
