Before & After Photos

Farmer wanted to preserve his barn and prevent the foundation from caving in.

Jonathan P. in River Falls, WI had bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, and he wanted to have his walls repaired before the problem got any worse.He started looking into foundation repair options and he came across the American Waterworks website. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. We recommended installing PowerBraces along the shifting foundation to halt any further movement and start to move the foundation back into place. Jonathan felt that our plan was the most efficient, durable, and cost-effective option, so he chose to move forward with the installation.

Our production team started the installation by securing brackets into the floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. The installation took a day to complete, but now Jonathan’s foundation is permanently restored, and he no longer is concerned about the stability of his walls.

In River Falls, WI, a homeowner noticed a few cracks along their block foundation and was concerned for its stability. Because of their previous positive experience with us on a waterproofing project, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their inspection. In about a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home, where he inspected the foundation. During the inspection, he took note of the cracks and how much the foundation had shifted. Additionally, he inspected our products, ensuring they were working properly. After reporting his findings, Daniel worked with the homeowner to create the perfect solution to stabilize their foundation wall. He recommended using GeoLock, our wall anchoring system that redirects pressure against the foundation away from the home. Happy that this product is backed by a lifetime warranty, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew arrived at the home, where they successfully installed 15 GeoLock wall anchors to secure the foundation. Experiencing signs of a bad foundation? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

A Chatfield, MN, homeowner was working in his garage one day when he noticed that the walls of the structure seemed to be bowing inward. Instantly worried, the homeowner decided to take to the internet to find the solution. After an extensive search, and consulting with neighbors and friends, the homeowner decided to schedule a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed out to the home. When he arrived, he was directed to the garage, where he began his estimate. Once he completed, he explained to the homeowner that he was seeing bowing because the pressure on the other side of the wall was too much for it to withstand. Ryan went on to explain that, due to obstacles on the other side of the wall, he was recommending the use of our PowerBrace wall repair system. This patented foundation wall repair system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I beams also offer the ability to be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls more vertical. The homeowner was thrilled to know that the issue with the wall was a straightforward and non-invasive fix. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team successfully installed 2 of our PowerBraces to the problem wall. Now, the homeowner can move forward knowing his largest investment is secure! 

A homeowner in Lake City, MN, noticed their garage ceiling was sagging. Worried this was a sign of a larger issue, the homewoner began looking into "sagging ceiling repair near me" and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homewoner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection. During his inspection, Mac discovered that one of the posts was not providing any support. To stop this issue from worsening, Mac recommended installing a SmartJack post in its place. The homeowner agreed and worked with Mac to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Juan, and his crew promptly arrived at the home and began the installation. Juan and his crew successfully secured the SmartJack and Supplemental Beam. Once the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by Juan and his crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind, knowing their foundation is stable.
