Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Brian K. of Cosmos, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement, causing him to worry about the structural build and stability of his home. He went on Google and searched for foundation repair in his service area. He came across American Waterworks and saw that we provide FREE Estimates. He called our office line and scheduled an estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problem, and came up with a solution that worked for him. Brian got all of his questions answered and felt confident in Shane's proposal of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by digging 16 small holes around the house beyond the foundation. Our team inserted a long, medal rod from the inside of the basement, through the foundation wall, to each hole outside of the home. At the end of each rod outside, Juan and his crew screwed on and tightened an anchor plate, which holds it in place in the soil. Then, our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod inside of the home, stabilizing and straightening the foundation wall. To complete the project, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and made sure the yard looked neater than when they found it. Brian was impressed with the labor and work involved, and was happy with the repairs that were made!

Darlene P. of Watkins, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall, and she didn't like the appearance of it from the outside of her home. She got in contact with our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to her home, inspected her foundation wall, and proposed the solution of our Wall Recovery System, known as ShotLock. Darlene got all of her questions answered about the product, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production team sprayed our ShotLock around the foundation wall perimeter. Our ShotLock is a spray-on solution that offers a fast alternative to demolish and rebuild a deteriorating foundation. It is faster and less costly than a foundation replacement and provides a permanent and full warranty. Darlene was happy with the work and had a good experience! 

Larry G. in Heron Lake, MN had two cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was worried about the pressure it was putting on his foundation and the damage it could cause, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate.

After meeting with one of our Design Specialists, he chose to have wall anchors installed, which is one of our foundation repair products. Our production crew started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. They secured each end of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go, which permanently secured the wall. Wall anchors also provide the possibility for the wall to straighten over time. Larry was pleased with the installation and is glad he chose American Waterworks to permanently repair his foundation!

Myron M. in Morton, MN was visiting a local home show and he found the American Waterworks booth. He had a cracked foundation wall and he had heard we repair foundations, so he stopped to speak with one of our Design Specialists. We set up a time to give him a FREE onsite estimate, so we could inspect his basement and provide him with a solution. After evaluating his foundation, we recommended installing wall anchors to permanently stabilize his foundation wall. He was pleased with the solution and happy he wouldn’t have to replace his foundation, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. Then, they secured the ends of the rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. Our wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. Each anchor system also includes a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and each installation includes our own performance warranty. Myron was impressed with the installation and is thrilled that he no longer has to be concerned about the structural integrity of his foundation.

Roger G. of Hillman, MN had inward bowing walls in his garage, causing him to worry about the structural build and support of his home. He found American Waterworks on Google and messaged our Customer Care team through Podium. Our staff set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to his home to inspect his foundation walls and come up with a solution that fit his needs. Roger was confident in Chad's proposal of our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System and its warranty, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his Co-Foreman, Patrick Burnes, installed 10 of our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter of the garage. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Our PowerBraces can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Roger was happy with the installation and could not believe that it only took a day!
