Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ryan B. of Stoddard, WI had a crack in his foundation wall, causing him to worry about the stability of his home. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE inspection with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to Ryan's home, carefully examined his foundation wall, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. He was confident in Rick's proposal of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, so he followed through with the project and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production manager began the project by digging small holes outside the home, beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, Tremaine and his crew inserted a long, steel rod through to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew installed an anchor and a wall plate which provides the pressure to make the system work. Our anchors extend out to the hard-packed soil, anchoring themselves and bracing the foundation wall, which stops inward movement. Over time, our anchors can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the outdoor space was neater than when they found it. 

Not only do we provide work in foundation repair. We also perform services in basement waterproofing, radon testing/mitigation, crawl space repair/waterproofing, egress windows, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us now or click HERE to sign up for a free inspection! 

A homeowner in Stoddard, WI, knew it was about time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the maintenance appointment was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Kyle, to the home. Upon arrival, Kyle introduced himself to the homeowners and began his inspection. During his inspection, Kyle discovered that there was a slight separation between the cinder blocks. Kyle alerted the homeowner that this could lead to larger issues if not solved. Additionally, Kyle recommended that this wall be permanently stabilized to prevent further damage. The homeowners knew the high-quality work we completed and trusted Kyle's opinion, so they agreed with his recommendations. The plans were then directed to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home and prepared the wall for the CarbonArmor installation. CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution that is used to fix cracks and bowing foundation walls. The crew installed seven CarbonArmor strips along the north basement wall. After the CarbonArmor was installed, the crew completed their job and cleaned up the work site. Yet again, the homeowners were impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize another home's foundation.  

A homeowner in Fayette, IA, noticed their floors were sagging. Concered their home's structure was at risk, the homeowner knew they needed to find a lasting solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began looking into "sagging floor repair near Charles City, IA". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a deep dive into our services. After seeing our impressive foundation repair services, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to take a closer look. Ryan arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. Following his detailed inspection, Ryan determined the floors were sagging due to poor support. To prevent the sinking from continuing, Ryan recommended installing foundation stabilizing products. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. Next, the plans were passed along to our Logistics team to approve and schedule the project. After the project details were ironed out, it was assigned to our Field Supervisor, Rene, and his crew. Following their arrival, Rene and his crew began the supplemental beam and SmartJack installation. The crew installed two supplemental beams in the basement. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing six SmartJacks on those supplemental beams. Once all the SmartJacks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home was properly secured. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners peace of mind knowing their home is sturdy. 

A homeowner from West Salem, WI, had been worried about his basement walls for some time now. Over the years, the homeowner had watched as the walls slowly cracked in various places, leading the wall to bow inward. Not wanting the issue to worsen, the homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in Wisconsin to help. Through the recommendation of a friend, the homeowner signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, was out to the home. 

Mac diligently inspected the entire house, paying close attention to the basement walls. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner and informed him that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac then went on to say that he had the perfect solution, our PowerBrace system. Mac explained that PowerBraces are 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 agreed with the proposed work and set a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team arrived bright and early at the home. After a long day, the team had effortlessly installed 6 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement on the affected walls. Now, our customer can rest a bit easier at night knowing that his foundation has the proper line of defense!
