Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Litchvile, ND, noticed one of their foundation walls was worsening over time. It was time to have the foundation inspected by a professional, so the homeowner started their search. After investigating on the internet, the homeowner came across our award-winning foundation repair productions. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. When the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. When the Design Specialist arrived, they introduced themselves to the homeowner and began the investigation of the foundation. The Design Specialist discovered the wall was showing signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure progression, the Design Specialist recommended permanently stabilizing the foundation walls. The homeowner agreed with the Design Specialist's recommendation and the production preparations began. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. After they arrived, the crew prepared the wall for the GeoLock anchors. Once the wall was ready, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors on the west foundation wall. After the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their workspace and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe and stable. 

A female homeowner in Valley City, ND had basement waterproofing already completed in her basement, and she also needed her foundation repaired. Our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz, recommended our Wall Anchor System, which is designed to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was confident in Ian's proposal, so she signed his contract and moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team started the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation wall and inserting a long, metal rod from the interior foundation to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our team installed a wall anchor on the interior side and an anchor plate on the exterior side. Wall anchors are the most versatile wall repair method because they can be used to stabilize walls with a variety of problems, such as bowing and tipping walls, and walls that are pushing in. To complete the installation, our tram backfilled each hole and compacted the soil, ensuring the yard was cleaner than when they found it.

Joel, a homeowner in Dazey, ND was experiencing issues in his basement space with walls moving and cracking along with water intrusion, all of which led him to call our office.

He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

The project Foreman, Domenic, and team began working on the West side of the home north of the garage, the team began by excavating the soil outside of the home as needed to prepare for the installation of our solutions. Then, they installed our SentrySeal Waterproofing Membrane to the exterior as well as our SilverGlo Insulation System to hold back moisture and ensure energy-efficient insulation. SilverGlo comibes highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. The crew also removed sheetrock to install four of our GeoLocks anchors. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are an innovative system that permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can be tightened over time. The soil was then backfilled and the team cleaned up the space. At the end of the project, Joel was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue.
