Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Hanska, MN, homeowner was down in his basement one day when he did a double-take while looking at his basement wall. He could swear the basement wall seemed to be bowing inward. He didn't think much of it, and one day found himself at the New Ulm Home + Health Show where he met our Design Specialist, Dylan W. He and Dylan got to chatting about the wall and Dylan informed the homeowner that a bowing wall could be an indicator of foundation failure, so the two set up a time for Dylan to complete a FREE inspection appointment at his home. 

When Dylan arrived at the home several weeks later, he headed right to the basement. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. Dylan informed him that basement walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure being exerted on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see bowing or cracking. Dylan reassured the customer that while the issue seemed daunting, he had the perfect solution. Dylan wanted to use our GeoLock anchors to address the bowing wall, stating that these anchors counteract the pressure on the wall by anchoring it to the undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. The homeowner agreed with Dylan's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Eventually, the day of the project rolled around. Our Foreman, Kiko P, led his team through the swift installation of 8 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his foundation is no longer in trouble! 

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, grew concerned about the large growing crack along their west wall. Knowing it was time to have a professional investigate the status of the wall, the homeowner began looking through their options. The homeowners were scrolling through Facebook when they came across one of our digital advertisements. Interested, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to our website. The homeowner saw our list of services and was impressed by our quality of service. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner decided to sign up for theirs. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Upon Eric's arrival, he inspected the status of their basement. Eric discovered that the wall showed early signs of failure due to hydrostatic pressure. To stop the failure, Eric suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. The homeowner agreed and the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home and began unloading their materials to begin the stabilization. The crew installed eight GeoLock anchors, our innovative wall anchor system, to the interior west wall. Along with the GeoLocks, the crew included a tightening kit. This kit will allow the walls to be straightened over time. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased to know their wall was no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide reassurance to its customers.

Amy B. of Hutchinson, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall in her basement, making her feel scared and nervous about the structural hold of her home. After hearing from a friend about our services, she called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to her home, examined the wall, and came up with the solution of our ShotLock.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team sprayed 18 feet of our ShotLock Wall Restoration System on the wall.

Bill and Judith K. of Darwin, MN had a cracked foundation wall, making them worry about the strength and stability of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on local television. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, inspected their foundation wall, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System. Bill and Judith got all of their questions answered about our wall anchors and they felt confident in the design, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by digging four small holes outside beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew installed an anchor plate beyond the foundation, which anchored the rod in place. From the interior foundation, our team installed and tightened a wall anchor, which stops inward movement entirely. Over time, this will move the foundation wall back to its original position. Our Wall Anchor System is the most versatile wall repair method because it stabilizes walls with multiple problems, including bowing and tipping walls, and walls that push in at the bottom. To complete the project, our crew backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard was neater than when they found it.
