Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Roger R. in Hastings, MN was experiencing cracks in the concrete slabs of his garage and two corners of his garage had started sinking. He also noticed a stair step like crack on the outside of his garage foundation wall. He realized it was time to get a professional to inspect the situation and go over what his options were. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went onsite to give Roger a free estimate. Mac discovered that his entire garage had started sinking and recommended that we install piers around the perimeter of his garage and wall anchors on the external side wall of the garage to secure the foundation. Roger knew how costly replacing the entire foundation could be, so he was glad to find a solution that would permanently repair the foundation.

Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed 15 piers underneath the foundation of the home and 4 wall anchors on the external wall to ensure that the foundation would be fully supported and permanently stabilized. Roger can rest easy knowing that he took necessary action to permanently stabilize and protect his foundation from failing.

A homeowner in Hastings, MN, noticed sections of their driveway were higher than others. Additionally, they found various cracks spread throughout the concrete. Knowing the issue would only worsen, the homeowner determined they needed professional assistance. The homeowner started their hunt for the best professional lifting and leveling company. After seeing American Waterworks has serviced their area many times, they decided to reach out to us. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, we sent out one of our Design Specialist, Nate, to survey the concrete. Once he completed the estimation, Nate alerted the homeowner the concrete was sinking and needed to be lifted and leveled. Nate recommended a solution to the homeowners that would solve all the issues with their concrete. The homeowners wanted to fix all their issues, so they decided to go with Nate's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew were assigned to this case and received the recommended plan of action. The crew began by injecting the PolyLevel underneath the entire driveway and the sidewalk leading to the front door and garage door of the home. Once the PolyLevel installation was complete, the crew moved their attention to the joints and cracks throughout the concrete slab. The crew filled all the cracks with the NexusPro Crack Repair. Then, they removed all the previous joints and replaced them with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. After all the cracks and joints were properly filled, the crew could clean up their tools and move on to their next job. The homeowners were impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to help another customer avoid replacing all of their concrete.

Arik M. in Freeborn, MN had a bowing wall in his garage. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect his garage and provide him with a free estimate. After the inspection, our Specialist recommended that we install wall anchors to straighten and stabilize the wall. Arik felt that our solution was the best fit for his needs, so he decided to move forward with the project.

Our crew installed the wall anchors by drilling long, metal rods through the wall and then securing both ends of the rods with anchor plates. Our anchors are designed to install quickly and with minimal disruption to the home and landscaping. They are designed with galvanized steel, which allows for long-term corrosion resistance. Arik’s peace of mind has been restored knowing that his foundation wall is now permanently secure.

A homeowner in Afton, MN, noticed their garage cement walls were beginning to come apart. Concerned with the garage's stability, the homeowner knew American Waterworks would complete their request. The homeowners called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Soon after the appointment was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Darin to inspect the stability of the garage and home. Once the detailed inspection was complete, Darin suggested that the homeowners permanently stabilize the walls and foundation to avoid further damage. The homeowners agreed and the preparations for the job began. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew arrived at the property and started by installing four PowerBraces along the lower garage south job. Once the PowerBraces were in place, the crew installed two SmartJacks in the middle of the lower garage to provide further stability. After the stabilization was complete, the crew installed CleanSpace along the lower garage's west and south walls. The crew swiftly completed the job and put the basement back where they found it.
