Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Pine Island, MN, homeowner was doing laundry when she noticed a large crack in her foundation, running the length of the basement. Upon further investigation, she found that the wall was compromised in several areas. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began searching for a reputable foundation company in Pine Island, MN. One night, she was watching TV and saw one of our ads. She decided to call us, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Darin informed the homeowner that she was right to contact us. He went on to say that while the problem seemed daunting, American Waterworks could easily address the issue using our GeoLock wall anchors. This unique foundation wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. This system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to straighten your foundation walls further and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's plan, and the job was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to install 7 of our GeoLock wall anchors around the basement of the home. 

Now our customers can enjoy their space without worries of foundation troubles!

Karen R. in Pine Island, MN had a shifting foundation wall that needed some support. Karen was concerned about the structural integrity of her home and wanted a cost-effective solution with minimal disturbance. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew installed 7 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing wall. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. Karen was impressed with the quick installation, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A homeowner in Stewartville, MN called us with concerns about her bowing basement wall. You can see the shift in the wall structure between the bricks in our before photo.  American Waterworks was able to stabilize the wall with our patented PowerBrace System preventing any further bowing or cracking of the foundation.  

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.
