Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Greg D. of Thief River Falls, ND had a bowing foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about the support and structural stability of his home. He did some research on HomeAdvisor to find a contractor that could repair his needs and saw that American Waterworks provides service in his area. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to his home, thoroughly examined the foundation wall, and drew out a solution of our PowerBraces to restore Greg's wall. Greg got all of his questions answered about the product, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed our PowerBraces against the bowing foundation wall. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. With time, PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the walls are staying straight and vertical. Greg was happy with the project and had a great experience from start to finish!

A homeowner in Little Falls, MN, knew it was time to repair their sinking and cracked front slab. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner looked into "sunken concrete repaired". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nicola. A few days later, Nicola traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Nicola began the detailed inspection of the exterior concrete. During the inspection, Nicola confirmed that the front walkway and step needed to be lifted back into place. Nicola shared her findings with the homeowner, and they agreed with his plans. Next, Nicola worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, Bryce and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Bryce and his crew started by inserting PolyLevel below the sinking slabs. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew shifted to replacing the joints and cracks with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. After Bryce and his crew completed the project, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its homeowners in lifting their sunken slabs.

Bill L. in Saint Ansgar, WI had a bowing wall in his basement, so he started looking into repair options. While researching foundation repair, he came across American Waterworks’ website. He contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. Pete recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize Bill’s foundation wall. Bill agreed and was pleased with the proposal that Pete developed, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled small holes in the wall and inserted long metal rods. The metal rods extend through the wall and into the soil outside of the home. Then, the rod is secured with metal plates on each end. They tighten the anchors and the wall starts to straighten and stabilize. The anchors can be tightened over time so that the foundation wall gradually becomes straighter and straighter. Our wall anchors are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bill is glad he chose the right solution to secure his home for the long-term.
