Horizontal Crack Concerns in Minneapolis, MN

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed a slight horizontal crack in their foundation. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked to have an expert visit their home and provide them with some answers. Knowing we have done excellent work around their area, the homeowner looked at the foundation repair services that we offer. Impressed with our extensive lists, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Once Nick arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowners and began his inspection. Once he completed the inspection, Nick determined that the wall was cracked due to the excess pressure being put on the wall. To stop this from worsening, Nick suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. After deliberating their options, the homeowners knew this was their best option. Once they received approval, our Foreman, Jose and his crew traveled to the home. The crew arrived and began by preparing the lawn and wall for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is an innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installed five GeoLock anchors along the west basement wall. After all the GeoLocks were secured into place, the crew could clean up their site and leave the home. The homeowners were thankful to know that their wall was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

Foundation and Concrete Repaired in Fridley, MN

A homeowner in Fridley, MN, knew their home needed serious help. Knowing they had an extensive list of issues, the homeowner wanted to find a company that could fix them all. During their hunt, the homeowner came across our website and was impressed with our extensive list of services. Soon after, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the appointment was set, we sent one of our Design Specialist, Jesse, to perform an inspection of the foundation and sidewalk. Jesse arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner, then began the inspection. Following his detailed inspection Jesse found that their foundation was struggling and the sidewalk was sinking. Jesse recommended the foundation be permanently stabilized and the sidewalk is lifted and leveled. The homeowner agreed and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Jordan, and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, the crew focused on stabilizing the foundation with GeoLock anchors. The crew attached five GeoLock anchors on the west wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew shifted their focus to lifting and leveling the concrete sidewalk. To lift and level the sidewalk, the crew utilized PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the crew successfully lifted and leveled the sidewalk, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers with multiple issues in their homes.
