Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hector, MN, was rummaging through their basement when they noticed a concerning large crack along their back foundation wall. Knowing they couldn't fix this on their own, the homeowner decided to look for professional help. The homeowner began searching for the foundation repair closest to them, and our company caught their eye. After looking through our foundation repair services, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. Once the estimate details were set, one of our Design Specialist, Ryan, made their way to the home. After Ryan arrived at the home, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began evaluating the foundation. Ryan determined that the foundation walls needed to be permanently stabilized. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and production commenced. Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew were assigned to complete the project, so they made their way out to the home. The crew began by installing eight GeoLock anchors along the east and south foundation walls. Additionally, the crew installed four PowerBraces on the west foundation wall. The homeowner also requested that the tightening kit be included, so the walls can be straightened gradually over time. The crew successfully stabilized both walls and finished the project. The homeowners were relieved to know that their walls were saved from possible failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind in their home. 

Roger D. in New Ulm, MN had two bowing foundation walls in his basement. He was concerned about the damage it could be causing to his foundation, so he decided it was time to have a professional inspect his situation. He began researching foundation repair contractors and came across American Waterworks' website. He contacted us, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to his home to evaluate the situation and provide him with a solution. Eric addressed Roger’s questions and was able to develop a thorough plan to stabilize his walls. Roger felt that Eric’s proposal was a good fit for him, so he set a date for the installation.

Our production crew installed 11 wall anchors along the two walls. Once the anchors were tightened, Roger was able to visibly see the difference in the stability of the walls. Roger was glad he chose a permanent solution to repair his foundation. Our wall anchor system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Roger will always have peace of mind that his home is protected.

A New Ulm, MN, homeowner had noticed that her driveway had been showing signs of sinking over the years. Some areas were worse than others, like the concrete in front of her garage door. The concrete had sunken so much that it had lead to a a giant trip hazard. The homeowner no longer wanted to sacrifice safety, so she decided to search for MN concrete repair companies. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Tony B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Tony got right to work assessing the concrete slabs. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel injection. He informed the homeowner that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking slabs. It slowly fills voids left by soil erosion, in the process, lifting the slabs back to their original position. Tony explained that, in comparison to other alternatives like mud jacking or full replacement, PolyLevel is cheaper, less invasive, and less time-consuming. Tony went on to say that he wanted to safeguard the lift with the help of our NexusPro solution. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to the cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete. It's specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, ensuring that the vulnerable soil below is protected from the elements. The homeowner liked the sound of the non-invasive installation and signed on the spot. 

The day of the project eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Sam, led his team through a flawless lift and seal. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her trip hazards have been handled! 

Linda M. in Gibbon, MN had some cracks in her basement walls that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She started researching foundation repair contractors and was glad to run into our booth at the New Ulm Home and Health Show. She set up an appointment to have our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, evaluate the situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation walls, our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and 3 PowerBraces along the basement walls. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Linda is happy she chose to permanently stabilize her home, and her peace of mind has been restored!
