Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Robert and Teresa M. of Saint Paul Park didn't have enough support to hold up their floor to their upstairs. They found out that we provide FREE estimates so they got in touch with our office staff and scheduled their appointment. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to their house, inspected their pre-existing support posts, and proposed our SmartJacks, which are heavy-duty galvanized, steel beams. Robert and Teresa were confident in the system and its design, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew installed seven of our SmartJacks to lift and support the sagging floor joists. This system can hold up to loads of 60,000 pounds. The project took one day and Robert and Teresa were thrilled with the work!

In Bemidji, MN a homeowner was looking to make some changes to his cabin before the winter months arrived. His main concern was the foundation landing outside of the side door that had sunken over the years. Wanting to get it fixed, he went online to find a reasonable solution because he wasn't interested in fully replacing it. He looked up foundation repair companies and came across the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our past work and our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. We received his request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists to inspect the foundation. The Design Specialist explained that our HelicalPiers were the perfect solution to stabilize the landing and prevent it from sinking again. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was later greeted by one of our Foremen, Juan Pena, and his crew. They carefully installed the HelicalPiers and made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before leaving the home.

A Pine Island, MN, homeowner was doing laundry when she noticed a large crack in her foundation, running the length of the basement. Upon further investigation, she found that the wall was compromised in several areas. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began searching for a reputable foundation company in Pine Island, MN. One night, she was watching TV and saw one of our ads. She decided to call us, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Darin informed the homeowner that she was right to contact us. He went on to say that while the problem seemed daunting, American Waterworks could easily address the issue using our GeoLock wall anchors. This unique foundation wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. This system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to straighten your foundation walls further and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's plan, and the job was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to install 7 of our GeoLock wall anchors around the basement of the home. 

Now our customers can enjoy their space without worries of foundation troubles!

Karen R. in Pine Island, MN had a shifting foundation wall that needed some support. Karen was concerned about the structural integrity of her home and wanted a cost-effective solution with minimal disturbance. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew installed 7 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing wall. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. Karen was impressed with the quick installation, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A homeowner in Stewartville, MN called us with concerns about her bowing basement wall. You can see the shift in the wall structure between the bricks in our before photo.  American Waterworks was able to stabilize the wall with our patented PowerBrace System preventing any further bowing or cracking of the foundation.
