Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Adam W. in Mabel, MN had a cracked basement wall that had gotten worse over the course of just a few months. His block foundation had a large horizontal crack and it was starting to bow. He was concerned about the pressure it was putting on the foundation of his home, so he gave American Waterworks a call for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Michael Radosevich, to inspect Adam’s foundation problem and to design a solution. Michael answered Adam’s questions and addressed his concerns before designing a unique proposal that would best fit his needs. Adam was pleased with the proposal that Michael presented to him, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our production team installed 4 wall anchors through the cracked wall in his basement. The anchor rods are drilled deep into the soil out side of the home and wall plates are installed on either end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tighten the anchor which begins the process of straightening the wall. Our wall anchors permanently stabilized Adam’s foundation wall, and our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Adam can rest easy knowing that he chose the right solution to repair his foundation.

A customer from Blair, WI got in touch with us when he began to notice one of his basement walls was beginning to show signs of movement, a symptom of the first stage of wall failure. He knew that if he waited, the problem could result in serious damage to the structural integrity of the home. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists, Dustin. When Dustin headed out to the property, he completed a thorough inspection of the issue and then made recommendations as to how we could help. He recommended the use of our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the issue. He explained that our anchors work to permanently stabilize the wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that once installed, the anchors can be tightened over time to move with the home. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew led by our Foreman, Jose, ended up installing 6 of our GeoLock anchors around the perimeter of the basement. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that he no longer had to worry about his compromised basement wall!

Bethany and Cheryl W. of Stockton, MN had sagging floors in their basement, making them worry about the weight and stability of their home. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to examine the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Bethany and Cheryl felt comfortable with Rick's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team installed 13 of our 7-foot-tall SmartJacks in the basement to lift and stabilize the sagging floor. Our SmartJacks are made to hold large loads and the brackets can be tightened overtime to make sure they continue to work properly. Bethany and Cheryl were both thrilled with the outcome and couldn't believe the project only took one day. They were provided with a remarkable experience and their peace of mind was restored! 

John R. of Winona, MN was in need of a service call with one of our technicians. Our service technician, Darin, went to his home and fixed the problems that he was experiencing. While Darin was there, he noticed horizontal cracks throughout John's foundation so Darin told him about our PowerBrace System which is a repair system that stabilizes failing basement walls and provides the potential to straighten them over time. John was confident in our PowerBraces and their warranty, so he went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team installed our PowerBraces around the basement wall perimeter. The installation only took one day and was completed in a timely manner. Our PowerBraces don't only stabilize the wall. They also give the basement a neat appearance and it can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure everything is working properly. John was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored knowing his basement walls wouldn't crack anymore!
