Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

 Mr. Conner's foundation walls are cracking and pushing inward due to the expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure on the walls from outside his home. We recommended installing eleven Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the bowing wall to stabilize and restore the wall back to its original position.  The soil anchors were placed in the ground outside his home. Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates. Wall plates distribute clamping pressure. Tightening nuts on the threaded ends of the rods stabilize the wall for a permanent solution.

Gordon G. in Mankato, MN had a bowing foundation wall in his basement. He saw an ad for American Waterworks in the phone book and called us to see if we could help him. We were happy to send our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to his home to do a free onsite estimate. Eric developed a plan to have our team install anchors along the bowing wall to secure and stabilize it. 

The installation process took two days, and Gordon was pleased that he could see immediate results. Our crew left him with a tightening kit so that he could continue tightening the anchors over time until the wall is completely straightened.

Dave C. in Mankato, MN had two bowing foundation walls in his basement. He had heard about American Waterworks and the foundation repair that we do, so he contacted us to get a FREE estimate.

Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went onsite to inspect his foundation problem. Eric developed a plan to install 11 wall anchors throughout his basement to ensure his foundation would be permanently stable. Dave agreed that was the best option, so an installation date was set. 

The installation process only took one day. Dave was pleased that he could already see a drastic improvement once the anchors were tightened. Wall anchors are a permanent solution that are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Dave can rest easy knowing that his foundation is stable.

Matt T. of Mankato, MN had bowing foundation walls, causing him to worry about the structural support of his house. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan, who went to his house, examined his walls, and drew out the solution of our Wall Anchor Foundation Repair System. Matt was comfortable with Ryan's presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging small holes beyond the foundation, until they hit compact, undisturbed soil. While installing our anchor system, each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Our wall anchors straighten the wall back into its original position by pulling it back to where it's supposed to be. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors to ensure the system is still sticking to its design. To complete the project, Jose and his team backfilled the holes, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it.

Shane went to June's home, inspected her foundation, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System, which is the most versatile foundation repair product that we provide for homeowners.

Our wall anchors are made to stabilize basement walls and provide the best opportunity to straighten them without the cost of replacement.
