Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Kurt H. in Luverne, MN had two bowing walls in his basement. He knew that foundation problems could lead to a very costly foundation replacement, so he needed to find a contractor to repair the walls. While researching foundation repair contractors, he came across American Waterworks and decided we would be a good fit for him. He set an appointment for one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to come to his home and give him a free estimate.

Shane developed a foundation repair plan using our wall anchor system. Kurt felt that Shane's proposal was appropriate for his foundation needs, so they set an appointment for the installation. Our production team installed 11 wall anchors along two walls. The anchors were able to straighten his walls and stabilize his foundation. Our wall anchor system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Kurt can rest easy knowing that his home is protected because he invested in permanently repairing the foundation.

Jerry R. in Luverne, MN noticed the cracks in his foundation were only getting larger over time. He was concerned about the structural integrity of his home, so he started doing some research online. He was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been restoring foundations for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to meet with Jerry and propose the best, cost-effective solution for his home. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew were successfully able to stabilize Jerry’s foundation with the installation of 12 of our Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the walls and pull them back to their original position. Jerry was impressed with the quick installation, and we are happy we could restore his peace of mind! 

A customer from Montevideo, MN got in touch with us when a crack began forming on his block basement wall. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric H. headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could help correct the issue. Because the wall was beginning to bow inward, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the problem. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system would permanently stabilize the foundation of the home by anchoring the wall to the virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after the initial installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull them back into its original position. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his crew ended up strategically installing 5 GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that his foundation worries were in the past! 

Hilary N. of Glenwood, MN had water in her basement and cracked foundation walls. She had work done by American Waterworks before, so she had our team perform a FREE inspection. After a detailed analysis, Hilary was confident in the proposal and presentation, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production crew started the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain System, which serves as a basement drainage system, while preventing wall clogs and collecting water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew replaced Hilary's pre-existing sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides tripled protection and solves all three water problems in one unit. Then, our Foreman and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and gives the basement a clean, neat appearance. Lastly, our team installed our Wall Anchor System to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Hilary had a great experience and gave us a five-star rating on google!

Audrey S. in Jasper, MN had some severe cracks in the walls in her basement 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 knew how costly it could be to replace her foundation entirely, so she started researching foundation repair contractors. She was glad to see that American Waterworks has been the leading contractor in foundation repair for nearly 3 decades! She contacted us for a free estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate her situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation, our production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the basement wall. 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. Audrey is happy she made the investment to protect her home.
