Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Lori N. of Stewart, MN had bowing walls on the side of her garage, causing her landscaping to be uneven. She called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect the issue and come up with a solution. After a detailed inspection, Lori was comfortable with Shane’s proposal so she set up an installation date.

Our foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the installation by digging six holes around the back and side of the garage and six holes in the garage concrete floor, parallel to the holes outside. They installed a long, metal rod in each hole and tightened our GeoLock Wall Anchors on each end. In this situation, our GeoLock Wall Anchor System permanently stabilized the foundation wall by anchoring them to the soil beneath the garage concrete. After installation and over time, homeowners can tighten them to continue keeping their wall at normal position. Next, our guys capped the anchors in the garage with a concrete coating and replaced the soil outside. Lori was happy with the outcome and was glad she went with American Waterworks to solve her home needs!

Charles W. in Saint James, MN had large, stair-step like cracks in three of his basement walls. He noticed they had started to bow inwards, so he decided it would be a good idea to have a professional look at it. A friend of his had a good experience with American Waterworks so he recommended that Charles contact us to repair his foundation. Charles called us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the situation and find a solution for him. Charles was pleased with the thorough plan that Jeremy developed, and he felt that we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew strategically placed seventeen Geo-Lock wall anchors along the three bowing walls. The anchors are placed in the ground outside of the home and drilled into the basement walls. Then, the plates are screwed on and tightened. Once the plates are tightened, the walls straighten and stabilize. Charles can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to secure his foundation because our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Linda M. in Gibbon, MN had some cracks in her basement walls that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She started researching foundation repair contractors and was glad to run into our booth at the New Ulm Home and Health Show. She set up an appointment to have our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, evaluate the situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation walls, our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and 3 PowerBraces along the basement walls. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Linda is happy she chose to permanently stabilize her home, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN, was cleaning their basement when they discovered their walls were beginning to bend inward. Alarmed by this discovery, the homeowner wanted to fix it before it progressed. Knowing many they had many options around them, the homeowner began looking through the foundation repair companies. During their search, the homeowner came across our social media and saw our impressive testimonials from past customers. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ian. Upon arrival, Ian discovered that the walls were suffering significantly and showing early signs of wall failure. Ian alerted the homeowners of the issues but also gave them recommendations on how to solve the issue. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowners agreed with Ian's plan and production commenced. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the repairs. The crew installed five GeoLock anchors on the south wall and six GeoLock anchors on the east wall. The crew successfully installed all the GeoLock anchors in the home and cleaned up the job site. The homeowners were relieved to know that their home was properly stabilized and the risk of failure was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to give our customers peace of mind in their homes.
