Before & After Photos

Rick M. of Enderlin, ND had bowing walls in his basement, making him worry about the structural build and safety of his home. He knew one of our employees, so he went with American Waterworks for the repairs. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Sales Manager, Mike Radosevich. Mike inspected his problems and came up with a solution that worked for him and his budget. Rick was happy with Mike's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew installed our PowerBraces around his basement wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces is a foundation wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, they can be tightened by the homeowner to make the bowed walls straighter and more vertical. Rick was happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

Joe V. of Brewster, MN had bowing foundation walls in his basement that were getting worse. He heard that American Waterworks does Free Estimates so he gave us a call. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection and written proposal going over our GeoLock Anchor Foundation Repair System, which offers a 25-year warranty and is one of the most effective when stabilizing foundation walls, Joe went ahead and scheduled his installation date. 

Our foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew started the installation by digging 13 holes in the soil around the home. They installed a long metal rod in each hole from the soil to the foundation wall and tightened each side with a 26" x 26" anchor. This allowed the walls to straighten out and refurbish to its normal position. They finished the installation by putting the soil back in the holes and leaving the site cleaner than when they arrived. Joe is very happy with the work that was done and is happy he got a hold of American Waterworks when he did! 

A homeowner from Garvin, MN, was walking across the main level of her home when she noticed an area that seemed to be sagging lower than the rest of the floor. She was immediately concerned about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One day she found herself at the Marshall Home Show, where she met our Design Specialist, Ryan P. The two got to chatting about her concerns for her home, and Ryan informed her that American Waterworks offers FREE, no-obligation estimates into homeowners' concerns. The two found a day for Ryan to come out to the home. 

On the day of the inspection, Ryan got right to work inspecting the basement and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met up with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that floors over basements sag due to many reasons, including inadequate or shifting support beams beneath floor joists and lumber deterioration due to mold and rot. For this reason, Ryan recommended our SmartJacks. Our SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, SmartJack posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springing floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Because of its design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendation and liked the idea of having a system that could be adjusted down the road.

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel R, led his team through the installation of 10 SmartJacks throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her foundation worries are in the past! 

John P. of Ghent, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement so he went to the Marshall Home Show to see if he could come across any foundation repair contractors. He saw American Waterworks and chatted briefly with our Design Specialist, Tom Ringeisen, about a FREE Estimate. Tom went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough examination, John was comfortable with the design so he scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production crew installed 10 of our GeoLock Wall Anchors from the exterior soil to the interior foundation walls to stabilize and straighten the walls. John was ecstatic with the work and no longer has to worry about the life and stability of his home!
