A homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, noticed several of the cracks on their walls were spreading and worsening. Worried this could lead to their foundation wall collapsing, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "foundation repair near me" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Once they saw our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company to repair their issue. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to provide the homeowner with a solution. Dylan prompted arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Dylan confirmed that several walls were suffering from bowing. To prevent the issue from worsening, Dylan recommended installing GeoLocks and PowerBraces on the struggling foundation walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with Dylan's proposal. Following the homeowner's approval, Dylan sent the plans to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built the project, then assigned it to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Kiko and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kiko and his crew began by installing eight GeoLock Anchors on the struggling foundation walls. Once the GeoLock Anchors were secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing four PowerBraces. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind.

Concerned that the issue would continue to worsen until it leads to wall failure, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair experts in the area and found us.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan took a close look at the foundation walls, determining where the cracks are and which needed stabilizing. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, he began working on a detailed solution. Ryan recommended installing GeoLock, our warrantied wall anchoring system that anchors the interior foundation wall to stable soil, preventing further movement. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home to install 3 GeoLocks. The crew began by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed and connected to the interior wall with a steel pole. Once everything was properly attached, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

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!
