Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Belle Plaine, MN became worried about his home's structural integrity when he noticed two things in the front bedroom of his home. For one, small cracks had formed in the drywall and second, a large bump underneath the carpeting had appeared. When he removed the carpeting, he was shocked to find a large crack in the foundation. Deciding to take action before things got worse, he went online to find a service in his area that could help explain what was going on. He came across the American Waterworks website after searching "cracked foundation repair near me" and was eager to learn more about our work during a FREE no-obligation estimate appointment. We sent over Design Specialist Derek Vickstrom to the home to inspect the areas of concern and determine a solution. Derek knew the cracked floor and drywall were major signs of a damaged foundation and that something should be done to fix it right away. He recommended our HelicalPiers to help lift the sunken part of the foundation to eliminate the crack and stabilize the home. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was later greeted by our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew to install the products. The homeowner was relieved to have the problem gone and grateful for our services.

A customer from Wayzata, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice the retaining wall in front of her garage was beginning to tilt inwards. Our customer feared that if she left the problem unresolved she risked the possibility of the wall failing completely and costing more to fix. When she contacted us we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a thorough inspection by a member of our Design Specialists team. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to her home to inspect the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his professional opinion about correcting the issue. He told our customer that her best bet to battle the failing wall would be allowing us to install our GeoLock anchors. He explained to her that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution for stabilizing and straightening as it anchors the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to explain that, after the installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further address the failing foundation walls and pull them back into place. Our customer gave the green light and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Hugo, installed three of our GeoLock anchors throughout the problem wall. Once the job was complete, our customer was happy to know that her failing wall issues were a thing of the past! 

Bruce A. in Le Sueur, MN noticed that the apartment he was living in was starting to sink. After further investigation, he realized the foundation was settling, so he asked his property manager what the best course of action would be. They got in touch with American Waterworks to learn more about foundation repair and receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialist's to inspect the apartment complex and he determined that installing piers was the best option to repair the foundation. 

Our crew removed the concrete in the garage and under specific areas in the home and dug out the soil. They placed piers under the foundation and drilled them deep into the soil until they hit competent, supporting soil. The installation took a couple of days, but now the property management company will never have to worry about that foundation failing.
