Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A Pipestone, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his home's foundation for a few years now. A while back, she noticed stairs-steps cracking and running up the wall. Not wanting any further damage to be done, she decided to begin the search for a foundation repair company near Pipestone, MN. On the recommendation of a friend, the homeowner decided to call American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Eric finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could fix the failing wall with the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained that this innovative system is the perfect solution for walls facing stair-step cracking. This solution works to stabilize a home's foundation by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He finished by saying that our GeoLock anchors can be tightened over the years as the house continues to settle, giving homeowners long-lasting peace of mind in their foundation. the homeowner liked the sound of Eric's plan, and the project was scheduled for two months later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kiko, and his team successfully placed 16 of our GeoLock anchors around the perimeter of the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her basement without worrying about the state of her foundation!

Robert K. in Pipestone, MN noticed his floor sagging because there were not adequate supports in his crawl space to support the structure. One of the symptoms that alerted him to the problem was that his interior doors had started sticking. He knew it would only get worse over time if he ignored the problem, so he began to look for a foundation repair expert. He was directed to American Waterworks’ website during his research process and decided to have us come to his home and give him a FREE estimate.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, evaluated Robert’s situation and was able to develop a solution. Shane recommended that we install SmartJacks and supplemental beams to permanently repair his foundation. Robert agreed that was the right option for him, so we scheduled an installation.

Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew leveled the dirt in the crawl space and started the installation process. It took three days for the SmartJacks and beams to be installed, but Robert will reap the benefits for a lifetime since our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty. Our team also installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier (not pictured) to make it an energy efficient space and protect from excess moisture. Robert now has peace of mind that he chose to permanently protect his most important investment.
