Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Bev H. of Morristown, MN had bowed foundation walls so she called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Bev was comfortable with the proposal so she got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the installation by digging two holes outside of the left side of the home. In each hole, our team installed a long, metal rod from the exterior soil to the interior foundation wall. On each end of the rod, our crew installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, will tighten and straighten the foundation walls back into their normal position. To complete the installation, Hugo and his team replaced the exterior soil and backfilled each hole. Bev was thrilled with the outcome and couldn't believe the project only took one day! 

Michael C. in Rosemount, MN realized that their deck had started sinking and it was putting stress on the home. He could see the brick landscaping buckling, which is a symptom of settling foundation. A friend recommended that he should get in touch with American Waterworks to help with his foundation repair needs. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to give a FREE estimate. Jeremy recommended that he should have our helical piers installed to level the deck and prevent any further damage to the home. Michael agreed that that was the best option, so we sent our production crew to do the installation. 

Our crew installed 4 helical piers under the deck posts to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. The piers now relieve the stress that the settling deck was causing to the home. Our piers are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Michael can rest easy knowing he invested in a permanent solution that provides the necessary support for his deck.

John B. in Stillwater, MN had an added-on porch that had started settling. The concrete had started to sink, and the foundation walls were cracked. He was concerned about water and pests coming in, as well as the pressure the it was putting on his foundation. He started to research possible solutions and he came across the American Waterworks website.

He contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his foundation and design a solution. Chad worked closely with John to create a solution that was the best fit for his needs. John liked the proposal that Chad presented to him, so he chose to move forward with repairing his foundation.

Our production crew installed 6 wall anchors underneath the porch and CarbonArmor over the cracks in the wall. They also injected PolyLevel foam to raise the concrete around the foundation and make it a level surface. The combination of these foundation and concrete repair products have stabilized John’s foundation. He now has peace of mind that his porch is secure. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his most important asset.

A homeowner in Willernie, MN, noticed the walls in their basement were rapidly declining. Instead of letting the issues worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to have it repaired. The homeowner was scrolling through social media when they came across one of our digital foundation advertisements. After looking further into our company, the homeowner was impressed by our high ratings and reviews. The homeowner decided to go to our website and sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Rick, one of our Design Specialists. When Rick arrived, he began the evaluation of the foundation and found that the wall was showing signs of early wall failure. To stop the wall from failing further, Rick suggested that the foundation be permanently stabilized. Knowing this was the best option for them, the homeowner agreed and production began. Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the foundation stabilization. When they arrived the crew prepared the walls for the foundation stabilization. Then, the crew installed 12 PowerBraces on the north and south foundation walls. Once the PowerBraces were secured, the crew was able to clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their walls were saved from wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe and secure. 

Katie L. of Inver Grove Heights, MN had a bowing foundation wall, and she wanted to get it straightened out back to normal. She got in touch with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad inspected Katie's bowing wall and proposed our wall anchor system for the solution. Katie got all of her questions answered, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew installed six of our wall anchors to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. The nice thing about this system is it can be tightened with a torque wrench over time by the homeowner to ensure it's sticking to its design. Katie said our crew did a very good job, the communication was great, and she was overall thrilled with the entire project.
