Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jeff, of Fertile, MN, reached out for support with the local golf course, Sandhill River Golf Course. A 16ft. wide cart bridge on the course needed support, as the soil beneath was settling and the bridge was becoming unsafe. Design Specialist Richie went to look at the issue after Jeff contacted us for a FREE estimate. After a thorough examination, Richie recommended that Jeff and the club invest in helical deck piers. These plates have used proven structural engineering technology for years to repair damaged foundations and overcome problems caused by weak and unstable soil conditions. Weak or unstable soil near the surface isn't a problem because piers can be driven to reach robust and stable soil at greater depths. Jeff was happy with the proposal, and we got to work!

Foreman Jose and his crew installed 4 of our Helical Piers, designed to create a solid supporting base that transfers the structure's weight downwards to strong supporting soils. The helical-shaped plates on the shank of a helical pier are engineered so that the dock can be turned into the ground like a giant screw. Rotational resistance is measured as the pier is installed to ensure that the dock is solidly anchored in the soil. Our helical piers were installed to lift the bridge back to its original position. The team mechanically screwed sections of the helical pier into the soil. Once the dock met its depths, our crew installed foundation brackets below the footing. The bridge's weight could transfer through the helical pier to deep soils. Lastly, Jose and his crew replaced the soil to ensure the space looked neater than when they found it.

Aaron S. of Goodridge, MN had sagging floors falling into his basement, causing him to be nervous about the structural stability of his home. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Aaron's house, inspected his sagging floors, and determined a solution that would fit Aaron's needs. Aaron was confident in the proposal of our SmartJacks, so he signed Aaron's proposal and went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed eight of our SmartJacks to lift and level the sagging floor joists. Over time, this system can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure it is sticking to its design. The installation took two days and Aaron had a wonderful experience with our team!

Mike, from West Fargo, ND, gave us a call when he began to notice his poured concrete basement wall was beginning to crack and tilt, showing signs of the beginning of wall failure. Mike knew that if he left the issue unresolved it would compromise the structural integrity of the home, and could potentially cost more later down the road. When he called in, he used his FREE estimate, entitling him to a free thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists, in which they diagnose the issue and make recommendations to fix it. Richie, one of our Fargo-based Design Specialists, headed out to Mike's property shortly after his appointment was set. Once he completed his thorough inspection he recommended that Mike invests in our PowerBrace wall repair system. Richie explained to Mike that this particular system consists of strategically installing several I-beams throughout the space. He went on to say that these beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments, but that the system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter or more vertical. Mike agreed with Richie's recommendations and work began shortly after. One of our Fargo Foreman, Cameron, and his crew were able to begin the installations shortly after. The team ended up placing 12 strategically placed PowerBrace beams along the basement wall. 

When the work was completed, Mike was happy to know he no longer had to worry about his basement wall! 

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND, grew extremely worried when they noticed their foundation walls were cracked and beginning to lean inward. Anxious about the structural status of their foundation, the homeowner wanted to find a permanent solution. Hoping to stay local, the homeowner looked into foundation repair options based in Fargo, ND. The homeowner looked into "West Fargo foundation problems" and the first company to show up was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our foundation repair products, the homeowner knew we were the best choice for them. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kole, to the home. Kole arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Kole found that all the foundation walls were struggling and required permanent stabilization. Kole told the homeowner of his findings and recommended permanently stabilizing all their foundation walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed with Kole's recommendations. Once they were approved, Kole sent the plans to the office and then they were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley. After receiving the plans, Kingsley and his crew traveled to West Fargo and began the installation. Kingsley and his crew installed 24 PowerBraces throughout the entire basement foundation. Once all the PowerBraces were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was no longer at risk of failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their foundation is secured. 

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND, was cleaning their basement when they noticed cracks growing throughout the walls. Worried this could be a sign that their foundation was significantly damaged, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner looked into "foundation repair near West Fargo, ND" and the first company to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Once the homeowner looked over all our products and services, the homeowner knew we were the best company for them.

Ian arrived, introduced himself to the homeowner, and started the detailed inspection. During his inspection, Ian discovered the wall showed early signs of failure and needed stabilization. Once he found the cause, he was able to come up with a solution. Ian proposed installing several GeoLock Wall Anchors along several walls, and the homeowner agreed. After the homeowner approved the plans, Ian passed the proposal to the office to give the final stamp of approval. Our logistics team built the project and then scheduled it for our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Next, Franklin and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Franklin and his crew began by installing 13 GeoLock Wall Anchors on three of the foundation walls. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in stabilizing their damaged walls.
