A homeowner from Red Lake Falls, MN, was walking across their main level floor one day when they noticed a slight sag to the floor. Upon inspection, the naked eye could see that the floor was indeed uneven. The homeowner was worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One night, he saw one of our TV ads informing him that we specialize in fixing failing foundations. He decided to schedule his FREE inspection, and several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home.
Ian got right to work assessing the space. When he completed it, he informed the homeowner that we could address the problem using our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system provides soil support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, this system can correct problems such as sloping, overfly spring floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Due to it's modern design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked the sound of Ian's plan, and signed on the spot.
When the installation day rolled around, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 4 of our SmartJacks throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past!
Ryan M. of Thief River Falls, MN had cracked foundation walls throughout his entire basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, carefully inspected his foundation walls, and came up with the solution of our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. After Ryan got all of his questions answered about the product and its warranty, he decided to go ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 24 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement. Our PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them out over time. Since they are steel beams, they will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment.
