Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

David W. of Chanhassen, MN has a 22x18 four-season addition that is 35 years old. The contractor informed him that the additional had settled two-and-a-half inches. To prevent it from settling more, David needed help from a reliable contractor that professionalized in this kind of work. He saw American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan. Dylan went to the home, carefully inspected and diagnosed the problems, and drew up a detailed solution that would fit David's needs and budget. David was content and comfortable with our product, so he got a date scheduled for our crew to do the installation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed five of our Helical Deck Pier, which are designed with helical-shaped plates on the shank of the helical pier so the pier can be turned into the ground like a big screw, and is made to support the deck permanently. David was very happy with the crew and had a wonderful experience with our company!

Matt C. in Amboy, MN had cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the amount of stress it was putting on his foundation and did not want to let the damage get any worse, so he contacted us to receive a FREE estimate. We were happy to send one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the foundation problem and provide him with a solution. Jeremy assured him that we could repair his foundation walls by installing wall anchors. Matt liked Jeremy’s proposal and felt like we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled rods through the brick wall to the soil outside of the home. They secured the rods with anchor plates on each end. Once the plates were tightened, Matt was able to visibly see a difference in the stability of the walls. The anchors will continue to straighten the walls over time as well. Our wall anchor system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Matt can rest easy knowing he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his foundation.

A homeowner from Amboy, MN got in touch with us when he began to notice that his basement walls were seemingly beginning to tilt inward. The homeowner knew that foundation issues aren't something to wait to fix, so he took advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate for the issue. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric, headed out to the property to conduct his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that he was right to contact us because the walls were indeed beginning to display signs of failure. He informed the homeowner that their best line of defense against complete failure was our GeoLock Wall Anchors. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

After our team had finished the installation, they placed 10 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Once the work was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that their foundation was no longer in trouble!

Marilyn G. of Chaska, MN had sagging floors, causing her to worry about the structural stability of her home. She got in contact with American Waterworks, scheduled a FREE estimate, and had our Design Specialist out to her house to diagnose the issue. After a clear examination, our Design Specialist proposed our SmartJacks, which are steel beam support posts that lift and support sagging floor joists. Marilyn was confident in the system, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our SmartJacks to provide a solid support for our sagging and undersized beams. The purpose of this system is to restore the stability and straightness of the sagging floor joists. After completion, our Foreman and his crew provided Marilyn with a thorough walkthrough of the project and ensured she was happy with the project.

A homeowner in Avon, MN was concerned about the structural integrity of his home when he noticed his main floors were slightly sagging.
