GeoLock Wall Anchors Save Cracked Foundation in Westby, WI
A homeowner in Westby, WI, knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner called our Service department and signed up for their annual maintenance appointment. Once the annual maintenance appointment arrived, our Service Technician, Glenn, traveled to the home to check out the homeowner's products. Glenn promptly arrived at the home and started his thorough inspection of all the products. After ensuring all the previously installed products were running efficiently, Glenn took a closer look at the exterior and interior foundations. Glenn discovered large cracks in the foundation near the front steps. Once he saw the cracks, he knew the foundation needed to be permanently repaired. Glenn wrapped up the appointment and shared his findings with the homeowner. After hearing Glenn's recommendations, the homeowner knew this was the right plan of action. Next, Glenn sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and finalize the project. After all the project details were finalized, the proposal was passed along to our Foreman, Juan, to begin the installation. A month later, Juan and his team traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Juan and his team started by installing three GeoLock Wall Anchors on the struggling walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was properly secured. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their foundation was secure from future damage.
Cracked Foundation Repaired with Channel Anchor System
Robert K. in Cashton, WI had several cracks in the walls in his basement and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on his foundation. He started looking into foundation repair contractors and was glad to learn that American Waterworks is the leading contractor in foundation repair in the region. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs and goals. Robert approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date.
Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and production crew got to work installing our Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System. They started the process by drilling small holes through the brick wall for long metal rods to be inserted. The rods are then stabilized on each end with a channel anchor. The Channel Anchor System provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. This solution includes a channel anchor that mounts on the foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. Robert can rest easy knowing that his foundation is now permanently stabilized.

Stabilized Walls in Monona, IA

Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to their home to look at the issue and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Michelle and Alexander were comfortable with Brian's offer, so they went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew began the installation by digging four holes outside of the garage wall, and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

Push Piers Installed in Sparta, WI
Diane B. in Sparta, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She noticed her garage floor was uneven, and she feared the problem was only going to get worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Diane and evaluate the situation. After his inspection, Brian recommended our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to her settlement issue.
Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by excavating the soil surrounding the home where the foundation had started settling until they reached the bottom of the footings. Then, they secured brackets under the footings and inserted the piers until they hit competent, supportive soil. The piers transfer the weight of the home to the supportive soil, preventing further settlement. The crew wrapped up the project with installing our frost protection system to protect against frost damage. Then, they replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Diane was happy she chose to invest in the stability of her home, and we are glad we could restore her peace of mind!
Failing Foundation Fixed in Sparta, WI
A homeowner from Sparta, WI, was down in his basement one day when he noticed that his wall seemed to be bowing inward. Immediately concerned, the homeowner began to look into foundation repair companies in Wisconsin. After finding our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Chuck H, headed out to the home.
Chuck got right to work evaluating the basement. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Chuck wanted to use our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's 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 any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the sound of Chuck's plan and scheduled the job on the spot.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the flawless installation of 5 PowerBraces along the failing wall. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his foundation worries are in the past!
