Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Mike G. of Thief River Falls, MN had sagging floors and he needed them lifted for structural support. He found American Waterworks online, so he filled out the FREE estimate form on our website. Our Design Specialist went to Mike's house, carefully inspected his sagging floors, and proposed the solution of our SmartJacks, which are designed to support and stabilize sagging floor joists. Mike was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his crew replaced Mike's pre-existing support posts with our strong, steel, SmartJacks. This system can hold up to 60,000 pounds and provides very minimal disturbance to the home.

A homeowner from Thief River Falls had been watching his basement walls for several years now. You see, the walls had been showing signs of cracking for some time and kept worsening over time. The homeowner was growing more concerned but didn't know of any local foundation repair companies. One day one of his neighbors informed him about our services so the homeowner decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design specialist was scheduled to head out to the home.

Our Design Specialist performed his walkthrough inspection, and when he finished, met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Our Design Specialist began by saying that the homeowner was right to address the problem, as failing walls can impact the home's structural integrity. He went on to say that the problem could be solved with the use of our PowerBrace system. He explained that our PowerBraces are a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and decided to schedule the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Franklin O, led his team through the successful installation of 13 PowerBraces throughout the basement. Now that the job was been completed, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past!

A Thief River Falls, MN, homeowner had been aware of several cracks in his foundation for some time now. He was beginning to think about reselling his home and knew that he had to have the problem fixed before he could list his home. He began to look for MN foundation repair, quickly found us, and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan J, headed out to the home. He completed a full inspection of the foundation and then met with the homeowner. He began by stating that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure on the side of the wall. So when the pressure being exerted ends up being more than the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, and/or sliding in at the bottom. Dylan went on to say that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors, an innovative system that counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Dylan finished by saying that this system is able to be tightened over time to move through the next stages of the home's life. The homeowner was thrilled with Dylan's recommendation and signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Kingsley C, and his team were in the basement installing the anchors. When they finished, they had successfully installed 8 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can list his home with confidence! 

Homeowners in Saint Hilaire, MN had a deteriorated foundation wall that they wanted to get fixed up and repaired.

A homeowner in Stirum, ND, discovered a separation between cinderblocks on their basement wall. Aware that this could lead to a significant problem, the homeowner sought for a professional opinion. While sifting through many foundation repair companies, the homeowner came across American Waterworks. In addition to foundation repair, the homeowner noticed American Waterworks can complete a multitude of jobs. Certain they were the perfect match, the homeowners signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, James, to complete an assessment of the home. Following his thorough inspection, James suggested that the homeowners permanently stabilize the foundation. Trusting his expertise, the homeowners agreed and stabilization prep began. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew arrived at the home and the job began. The crew started by installing five Geo-Locks on the south wall. After the Geo-Locks were attached, the homeowner decided to include the Geo-Lock Tightening kit, so they could straighten the walls over time. Next, the crew shifted to installing CleanSpace on all the basement walls. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned the job site and left the home better than it was before. The homeowners were relieved to see know the struggling wall was properly supported. American Waterworks is happy to bring another homeowner peace of mind.
