A customer from Fairmont, MN got in contact with us when he noticed some suspicious cracks beginning to form on his wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved it could continue to worsen, severely compromising the structural integrity of the home. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Ryan, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Upon arrival, Ryan completed a thorough 3-hour inspection into the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, Ryan made his recommendation as to how we could best help the customer. He recommended the installation of our PowerBrace wall repair system. Ryan explained that these steel-I beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. This system has the option to be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner quickly agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew ended up installing 6 PowerBrace along the cracked wall in the basement. Once completed, our customer was relieved that he could rest easy knowing the structural integrity of the home is no longer a concern. 

A homeowner in Mounds, MN, knew it was time to have their foundation permanently repaired. Overwhelmed by all the options, the homeowner decided to visit HomeAdvisor to see which company stood out over the rest. After looking through all the companies, the homeowners saw that American Waterworks was the highest-rated out of them all. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the FREE estimate was set, one of our Design Specialist, Nick, arrived at the home to begin the estimation. Once he was complete, Nick determined that the foundation was in desperate need of stabilization, and the concrete floors required lifting and leveling. Nick recommended a solution to the homeowners that would save the basement from failure. After contemplating their options, the homeowner determined that this was their best option and went through with Nick's recommendations. Once the plans were approved, a crew was assigned to complete the job. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. First, the crew focused on stabilizing the crumbling foundation. The crew installed three GeoLock anchors on the northwest wall. Once the GeoLocks were in place, the crew utilized the PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete floor. Next, the crew utilized the NexusPro Sealant to fill the various cracks and joints throughout the concrete. After all the cracks and joints were filled, the crew was able to clean up the project site and leave the home. The homeowners were grateful that their foundation was saved from possible failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind.

Jen S. in Ramsey, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her home and a sinking garage. She visited the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and learned about our foundation repair solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, explained our wall anchors and push piers, and how they can permanently stabilize her foundation. She was interested to see if we could solve her foundation problem, so she set an appointment with Shane for a FREE onsite estimate. After Shane inspected her foundation wall and garage, he determined that installing 11 wall anchors on one side of the home and installing 8 piers underneath the garage, would permanently repair and stabilize her foundation. 

She agreed with the plan that Shane developed, so we set an installation date. Once our crew had installed and tightened the wall anchors, Jen was able to see the drastic improvement with the stability of the wall.

The push piers installed under the garage raised the garage and secured the foundation, so Jen will never again have to worry about her foundation settling and the damage that can cause to a home. Jen now has peace of mind because she chose to invest in protecting her most valuable asset.
