Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The foundation and concrete blocks of Dirk G.'s home in Red Lake, MN was starting to cave in and the home was starting to fall in. Dirk got in contact with American Waterworks and our Design Specialist, Nick, went to his home to inspect his walls and determine a solution that would fit his needs and budget. Dirk was confident in the solution of our PowerBraces, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production crew installed 12 of our PowerBraces to straighten the foundation walls. Our PowerBraces can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. They also provide a clean appearance to the basement, they are coated with zinc so they don't attract rust, and there is very minimal disruption to the basement space. Dirk was thrilled with the work and project completion!

A homeowner in Hastings, MN, noticed sections of their driveway were higher than others. Additionally, they found various cracks spread throughout the concrete. Knowing the issue would only worsen, the homeowner determined they needed professional assistance. The homeowner started their hunt for the best professional lifting and leveling company. After seeing American Waterworks has serviced their area many times, they decided to reach out to us. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, we sent out one of our Design Specialist, Nate, to survey the concrete. Once he completed the estimation, Nate alerted the homeowner the concrete was sinking and needed to be lifted and leveled. Nate recommended a solution to the homeowners that would solve all the issues with their concrete. The homeowners wanted to fix all their issues, so they decided to go with Nate's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew were assigned to this case and received the recommended plan of action. The crew began by injecting the PolyLevel underneath the entire driveway and the sidewalk leading to the front door and garage door of the home. Once the PolyLevel installation was complete, the crew moved their attention to the joints and cracks throughout the concrete slab. The crew filled all the cracks with the NexusPro Crack Repair. Then, they removed all the previous joints and replaced them with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. After all the cracks and joints were properly filled, the crew could clean up their tools and move on to their next job. The homeowners were impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to help another customer avoid replacing all of their concrete. 

A homeowner in Hastings, MN, noticed that his basement wall had begun bowing and showing cracks, indicating poor stabilization.

After browsing our website and growing impressed with our before and after photos, the homeowner decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Mac C., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. Mac explained to the homeowner that one of the most common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure exerted by a fluid. When it rains or floods, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then puts tremendous pressure against the walls. To fix this issue, Mac recommended CarbonArmor, our wall reinforcing system that quickly and affordably reinforces and stabilizes foundation walls. The homeowner happily agreed to Mac's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed a total of 16 CarbonArmor. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Roger R. in Hastings, MN was experiencing cracks in the concrete slabs of his garage and two corners of his garage had started sinking. He also noticed a stair step like crack on the outside of his garage foundation wall. He realized it was time to get a professional to inspect the situation and go over what his options were. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went onsite to give Roger a free estimate. Mac discovered that his entire garage had started sinking and recommended that we install piers around the perimeter of his garage and wall anchors on the external side wall of the garage to secure the foundation. Roger knew how costly replacing the entire foundation could be, so he was glad to find a solution that would permanently repair the foundation.

Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed 15 piers underneath the foundation of the home and 4 wall anchors on the external wall to ensure that the foundation would be fully supported and permanently stabilized. Roger can rest easy knowing that he took necessary action to permanently stabilize and protect his foundation from failing.
