Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Tom from Center City, MN was starting to notice cracks forming in his block foundation, which appeared to be worsening over time. tom was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he could run the risk of the problem worsening, creating a large, and more hazardous issue later. After doing some research, he came across our company. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation estimate by a member of our Design Specialist team. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he had completed his walkthrough, he recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the issue. Our Salesman explained to Tom that the GeoLock anchors are the preferred method of straightening as they extend out to the stable, hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall, effectively pulling the wall back into place.  Tom agreed with the recommendation and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jose C, and his team ended up installing 12 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Once the project was complete, Tom was happy to know that he no longer needed to worry about his cracked foundation! 

We received a request for a free estimate after this Blue Earth, MN homeowner noticed that his free-standing garage foundation was starting to shift and collapse. American Waterworks respected design specialist, Eric Hazelton, was able to craft a lasting solution using our Geo Lock Wall Anchor System.  Four galvanized earth anchors were installed to straighten the foundation wall back to it's original position.

Matt E. of Elmore, MN had cracks in his foundation wall and he wanted to get it fixed before it got any worse. He found American Waterworks online and liked what he saw, so he got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our design specialist went to Matt's home, carefully inspected his foundation wall, and proposed our wall anchor system, which is designed to stabilize failing foundation walls. Matt was confident in the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with everything. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our wall anchors, which is an anchor-rod installation. This system is the most versatile foundation repair system because it solves a wide variety of problems. Matt was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored.

Rhonda from Chisago City, MN, enlisted our services when she began to notice that her deck was beginning to sink and pull away from the rest of her home. She worried that if she left the issue unresolved that she would run the risk of the deck collapsing completely which could become costly to fix at that stage. When she called into the office we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a 3-hour inspection by a member of our Sales team. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property for his walkthrough. Once completed, he was able to recommend some of our services that he felt would best fit Rhonda's situation. Shane wanted to address the failing wall by using our helical piers to stabilize the structure. He explained to Rhonda that these piers would be the best fit because they're specifically geared to work for a lighter structure such as decks or concrete stairs. To add extra strength, he wanted to use our ShotLock system, which is the encasing of our PowerBrace system behind a layer of rebar and steel mesh and 4-6' of concrete. Our PowerBrace system is made of galvanized steel I-beams that are used to strengthen and stabilize a wall and can be tightened over time as the home settles more. Rhonda agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Matt Z, ended up installing 6 of our helical piers and 15ft of ShotLock around the perimeter of the deck. These particular products cause minimal disturbance to the homeowner's lawn and landscaping. When the job was completed, Rhonda was pleased to know her deck was sturdy and would stay that way for a long time to come. 

Ann and John B. of New Prague, MN had bowing and cracked walls in their basement that needed to be reinforced. Our office staff set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, examined their foundation wall, and came up with a solution. Ann and John were confident in Eric's design of our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team started the installation by cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion and saturated the masonry with epoxy. Then, our team installed 10 of our CarbonArmor strips and coated it with more epoxy to adhere the strips to the wall and to enhance each strip's strength. Ann and John were happy and impressed by how quickly the project went!
