Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Adam from Baldwin, WI was experiencing some problems in his home. He was concerned about the foundation of her home due to water intrusion, so he contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, our Design Special Darin attended to Adam's property. He began a thorough home inspection to properly diagnose the house and propose a proper solution that would help solve the issue and prevent other issues from arising.

First, Foreman Arturo and his crew installed our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. 

Our Foreman and the production team then installed three of our SmartJacks along the support beam of the home. Once the SmartJack was set, the team installed the WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. It works to trap water and sends it to an appropriate disposal site, our TripleSafe sump pump, an effective and economical sump solution.

They then proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold to affect the rest of the foundation. The team finished by cleaning everything up, and Adam was thrilled and impressed with the project from start to finish!

Rick and Shirley S. of Baldwin, WI had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their basement. They found an American Waterworks advertisement in the newspaper so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Rick and Shirley's house, carefully examined their foundation walls, and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is our most versatile foundation repair system because it solves a variety of different problems. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 16 of our anchors around the entire foundation wall perimeter. This anchor-rod installation is designed to stabilize cracked and bowing foundation walls while pulling the wall back to its natural position. Rick and Shirley were happy with the work and were grateful we were able to help them with their needs.

John L. in Plum City, WI had a severely cracked and bowing basement wall. He was concerned about the structural integrity of his home and wanted to address the problem before it got any worse. He started to do some research online and came across the American Waterworks website. He was happy to learn that American Waterworks has 30 years of experience restoring basement foundations. He called for a FREE estimate, and we sent our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to meet with John and evaluate the situation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew were successfully able to stabilize John’s foundation with installing 5 Geo-Lock Anchors along the bowing basement wall. Our Wall Anchor System permanently stops the inward movement of walls by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. Anchors can be installed year-round with minimal disturbance to the lawn and landscaping. John was impressed with the quick installation and is grateful to have restored the value of his home! 

A homeowner in Wabasha, MN, noticed a funky smell around their home. Unsure of the cause of the smell, the homeowner began to do some investigating. Upon further investigation, the homeowner discovered the scent was strongest in the basement. Having a hunch this may lead to a bigger issue, the homeowner wanted to have a basement expert inspect their home. Knowing there were many options around them, the homeowner decided to research the 'best basement repair near Wabasha, MN'. The company at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to look closer into our website and was immediately impressed. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, they decided to give us a try. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike, to inspect the basement further. Mike performed the estimate and discovered the scent was coming from the crawl space. Additionally, Mike alerted the homeowner that their home had high radon levels. Mike recommended encapsulating the crawl space and a radon mitigation system be placed. The homeowners agreed with Mike's recommendations, and the plans were passed on to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew cleaned the debris out of the crawl space. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew could install the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was properly installed, the crew was able to clean up their job site and leave the home. The homeowners were relieved to know the musty smell was gone and the radon threat was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe. 

A homeowner in Wabasha, MN, was doing some landscaping in her yard when he noticed a crack running up her foundation. She was concerned because he didn't know if the crack continued below the foundation. He spoke with neighbors about the problem and was directed to American Waterworks. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel, headed out to the home to inspect the problem. Once he completed his inspection, he explained to the homeowner that her foundation was settling, which American Waterworks could help with. He went on to say that a failing foundation that is left unaddressed won't get better over time. Michel wanted to use our Helical Piers to stabilize and lift the foundation. Michel explained that our helical piers are the premier choice to lift the foundation back to its original position. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. The homeowner agreed with the proposal, and the foundation repair project was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew installed 3 of our helical piers on the failing side of the home. Now our homeowner can resume her daily life without worrying about her home's foundation!
