Before & After Photos

Bill L. in Nicollet, MN noticed some cracking in his basement wall that was getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. He was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. After doing some research online, he came across our website and was happy to learn that we have been restoring foundations for over 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate the situation and propose the best, cost-effective solution. He was impressed with our products and Eric’s presentation, and he chose to move forward with the project. 

Using wall anchors, our production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. In order to straighten the wall, they had to dig out the soil pushing against the foundation. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. This process gradually straightened the foundation wall, and permanently secured it. Bill was pleased with the entire process and is glad he made the investment to restore the value of his home! 

Matt and Michelle W. of Easton, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks after being referred by another customer. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, came to their home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Matt and Michelle were confident with Ben's proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production team dug seven holes outside of the home and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors. To do this, they inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall, and tightened an anchor on the ends of each rod. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are designed to pull the walls back into their natural position. To complete the project, Rene and his team back filled the holes and replaced the soil. Matt and Michelle were happy with the outcome and were amazed at how quick the work was completed! 

If your foundation walls are bowing or showing signs of inward movement, repair work is needed. These signs are showing that your walls are weakening and these problems can create serious damage. These walls move inward due to expansive soils and pressure on the walls from the outside. 

Residents of Grafton, ND were seeing these exact problems in their foundation walls, making them worry about the value of their home. After doing their research, they called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to the resident's home, carefully inspected their foundation walls, and drew up a well-detailed proposal of our PowerBraces, which are made to repair and stabilize bowing walls over time. The residents were confident in our presentation and proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed our PowerBraces alongside the bowing foundation wall, enabling the wall to straighten back to its natural position. The homeowners were happy with the work that was performed and their peace of mind was restored!

John K. of Ottertail, MN had sagging floors going into his crawl space and the doors in his home were sticking to the door frame when he tried to open and close them. He realized he was in need of foundation repair. He came across American Waterworks and got a FREE inspection and estimate from our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole proposed our SmartJack System, which is designed to restore the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists. He was confident in Kole's proposal, so he signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production crew installed four of our SmartJacks, ensuring the floor was stable. John was happy with the repairs that were done and grateful we could help him with his problem!
