Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN, found small cracks cascading up the brick wall. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner began searching for a professional basement repair company that could provide the answers. While browsing, the homeowner came across our eye-catching before and afters on social media. Once they saw the great work we do, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. The homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. After he arrived, Nick began completing the thorough inspection of the basement. Following the inspection, Nick determined that the walls needed to be permanently stabilized. Nick recommended a solution that would solve the wall stability issues, along with the risk of basement flooding. After contemplating their options, the homeowners decided that the focus should be on the wall stability issues. The plans were then directed to the assigned crew and production commenced. Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew arrived at the property to begin the project. To stabilize the wall, the crew decided to utilize CarbonArmor strips. The crew installed the CarbonArmor strips onto the south basement wall. Once the CarbonArmor was attached to the wall, the crew cleaned up their job site and left the home. The homeowners were glad to know that their basement walls were permanently stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to help out another customer. 

Laura W. in Rochester, MN noticed a slight bow and some cracking throughout the walls in her basement. While researching foundation repair options, she contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, to her home to inspect the foundation and provide Laura with a solution. She was happy with Ryan's proposal and the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System that we offer. She set a date with our production crew to install the project!

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed the series of 13 straps along the foundation walls to halt further movement and cracks. CarbonArmor® straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing. And because the straps don’t protrude from the wall, the repair can be easily covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The installation process moved quickly, and Laura was happy with the result. She is glad she made the investment to protect the foundation of her home.

A Redby, MN, had been keeping an eye on his basement wall for a few years now. A while back, he noticed that his basement walls were showing signs of cracking in multiple areas. He was concerned about what would happen if he left the issue alone, so he decided to seek a professional's input. After searching for MN foundation repair, he found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian S, headed out to the home.

Once Ian concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss the next steps. Ian informed the homeowner that we could help fix the issue with our PowerBrace wall repair system. Ian explained that The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system 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 further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the idea of having a system that could be adjusted as the house continued to settle, so he decided to schedule his installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Aaron R, and his team installed 7 of our PowerBrace's throughout the basement of the home. Now, our homeowner can breathe a bit easier knowing the foundation of his home is adequately protected.

Brandon S. of Bismarck, ND had an addition on his home, and its floor was sagging. He saw an American Waterworks billboard, so he called our office line and learned more about our FREE estimates. He scheduled an estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Brandon's house to inspect his sagging floor and come up with a solution. Ian proposed our Crawl Space Support Posts (also known as SmartJacks), which is a system that provides solid support for sagging beams. As Brandon learned more about the system, he became more interested. Soon enough, he decided to move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew installed four of our Crawl Space Support Posts to correct the sloping floors. They also can be adjusted over time by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Brandon was happy with the installation and was glad he chose American Waterworks!

Tracy from Bismarck, MN was experiencing some problems in her home. Her floor in her living room was sinking into the basement and felt a rippling motion throughout the house whenever there was movement. Tracy was concerned about the foundation of her home and contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate. This entitles Tracy to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Special then attended to Tracy's property and 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. Our Design Specialist proposed to Tracy to invest in our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. Tracy agreed and scheduled an appointment for installation 

Our Foreman and the production team then installed five of our SmartJacks along the support beam of the home. Before installing the SmartJack, the production team dug a hole two feet deep. Then they backfilled the hole with engineer fill which is designed to dissipate the amount of force the SmartJack is experiencing. Once the SmartJack was set the team proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture and mold to affect the rest of the foundation. Tracy was thrilled and impressed with the project from start to finish!
