Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Brooten, MN, was prepping their home for the incoming winter seasons when they noticed a stairstep crack ascending their south basement wall. Uneasy about the discovery, the homeowner without hesitation searched for a company to fix this issue. The homeowners came across our website and signed up for a FREE estimate. We sent our Service Technician, Marc, to take a look at the wall and propose a solution to the homeowners. Marc determined that the south block wall would need to be stabilized with two PowerBraces and footings would need to be poured for each PowerBrace. Foreman, Juan, and his crew successfully positioned the PowerBraces underneath the stairs and inspected the crawl space. The homeowners were very pleased with the crew's work and American Waterworks is happy to leave another customer satisfied. 

Sander L. in Lake Crystal, MN had a tilting foundation wall that he was concerned about. He wanted to have a professional look at it before the wall failed altogether. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to provide Sander with a solution. He was pleased to learn that we could permanently restore his wall by installing 3 wall anchors.

Our production crew drilled 3 small holes through the foundation wall and into the dirt behind it. Next, they placed anchors on each end of the metal rods and tightened them as far as they could go. Sander was happy that he could see immediate improvement in the stability of the wall. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his home.

A Hutchinson, MN, couple got in touch with us when they noticed that stair-step cracks were forming on their basement walls. Worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home, they began the search for MN foundation repair companies. When they found our website, they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Lance S, headed out to their home to evaluate the issues. 

Once Lance completed his walkthrough, he informed the homeowners that American Waterworks could address the failing foundation with the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. Lance explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The couple liked the sound of having a system that could be stabilized as time goes on, and decided to schedule the project for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team ended up installing 14 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the lower level of the home. Now our customers can rest easy knowing their foundation issues have been addressed!

Teresa T. of Grand Forks, ND had sagging floors falling into the crawl space of her home, causing her to worry about the structural build and strength of her home. She got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home, thoroughly inspected the sagging floors, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. Ian proposed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Teresa was confident in the product and its warranty, so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his team installed eight of our SmartJacks, along with their assist brackets that holds them in place. Because of the SmartJack design, they can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if needed.
