Foundation Repair Photo Album: Severely Damaged Foundation Restored in Britt, IA

David O. in Britt, IA had a severely water-damaged and crumbling foundation that could have failed at any moment. He was worried that his foundation was past the point of repair. He started doing some research and was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for 30 years! We sent a Design Specialist to his home to evaluate the situation and to propose a unique solution that would fit his needs. We assured him that we could install our waterproofing system, along with PowerBraces, supplemental beams, and SmartJacks to permanently repair his foundation for a fraction of the price of foundation replacement. He approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. Our production team began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. Then, they installed 5 PowerBraces along the damaged foundation and secured them to the wall. The crew also installed 18 supplemental beams to reinforce the foundation and ensure support. Then, they installed three structural support jacks to halt the downward movement of the floor and lift the failing floor joists. They sprayed the pockets in the foundation with our spray foam insulation to completely seal the space.  Once, the WaterGuard and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump were installed, they installed the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier and filled the gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Lastly, the crew installed our SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of the high humidity. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so David has peace of mind now that his foundation is permanently stable.
