Foundation Failure in Fergus Falls, MN

Kevin B. of Fergus Falls, MN had a cracked, bowing foundation wall that needed to be repaired. He found American Waterworks on Google, so he called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, inspected the walls and proposed our Wall Anchor System to stabilize the walls and our caulk to seal the cracks. Kevin was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew installed five of our wall anchors along the foundation wall to stabilize and straighten them back to their normal positions. Next, our crew sealed the cracks with caulk, which gives the walls a nice appearance and prevents moisture from seeping inside the cracks. Kevin was happy with the work that was completed, and had a great experience!

Foundation Walls Stabilized in Fergus Falls, MN

Larry H. of Fergus Falls, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement, making him feel nervous about the structural build of his home. He did some research on our website and came across our foundation repair products, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz, went to his home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Larry was confident in Ian's proposal of our GeoLock C-Channel Anchors, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production team began the project by digging holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. From the inside of the basement, our team inserted a long, medal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home and screwed on an anchor at the end of the rod. At the end of the rod inside the basement, our team tightened and screwed on a GeoLock C-Channel Anchor. Our GeoLock C-Channel Anchors provide a permanent solution for bowing, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls. To complete the project, our team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, making the yard look neater than when they found it. Larry was very happy with the installation!

Deteriorated Foundation Wall Restored in Fergus Falls, MN

Max S. of Fergus Falls, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall, causing him to worry about the value, safety, and stability of his home. He got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, inspected his foundation walls, and drew up a well-designed solution that would restore Max's home and peace of mind.

Our ShotLock is a special spray-on solution that repairs deteriorating foundations and is double the strength of concrete. Our GeoLock Anchor System is an innovative process that stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation.

Failing Foundation Stabilized in Wheaton, MN

A Wheaton, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his foundation for some time. The homeowner had been aware of his foundation wall cracking in several places, but had been overwhelmed by the project and let it slip through the cracks. He decided to find a MN foundation repair company and quickly found our website. He was impressed with other work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist went out to the home. When he arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home foundation. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. He began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand loads from the side, so when the pressure exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. He went on to say that he completely understands being overwhelmed by a large project and wanted the homeowner to know that he had options. Our Design Specialist went on to say that, in this case, he was recommending our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. This innovative system can also be tightened over time to meet the needs of the home. The homeowner was grateful for our Design Specialist's honest and transparent proposal and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Emmanuel A, and his team effortlessly installed 9 of our PowerBrace's throughout the basement, successfully restoring our customer's confidence in his home!
