Cracked Foundation Repaired in Fisher, MN

Carmen K. of Fisher, MN had a severe crack in her foundation, causing her to worry about the value and stability of her home. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home, inspected her foundation, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her home repair needs. After a thorough inspection, Carmen was comfortable with the product and its warranty, so she went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team installed nine of our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, our PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the walls are staying vertical. Carmen was very satisfied with the work that was completed, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Cracked Foundation Repaired with Wall Anchors in Forest City, IA

Christina M. in Forest City, IA noticed some cracking and bowing of her basement wall and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to inspect her home and provide her with the best solution. Ryan developed a thorough, unique proposal to permanently restore her foundation. Christina approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. Wall anchors should be tightened over time to continue the process of straightening the damaged wall. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing completely and now Christina’s peace of mind is restored knowing her foundation is permanently stabilized.

Wall Anchors Stabilize Foundation in Nicollet, MN

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!
