Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cavalier, ND, noticed the crack throughout the wall was spreading. Knowing it was time for repairs, the homeowner began looking into professional foundation repair companies near them. After looking into "bowing wall repair near Cavalier, ND", one of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our previous project, the homeowner was convinced to work with us. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Kole, one of our Design Specialists. Kole arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner. Then, the homeowner showed Kole the problem area of the foundation. Kole inspected the inside and outside foundation. Once he completed the inspection, Kole determined that the foundation was settling and required permanent stabilization. Kole suggested installing our wall anchoring system to stabilize the foundation. The homeowner agreed with this suggestion and the plans were sent to the office to be finalized. Once the office approved, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Aaron, and his crew. Aaron and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, the crew installed 9 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north and east walls. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew installed four PowerBraces on the south basement walls. Additionally, the crew left a tightening kit, so the homeowner can tighten the walls over time. Once the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful to know their foundation was permanently stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner peace of mind knowing their foundation is secured. 

Mike C. in North Mankato, MN had a cracked and bowing foundation wall in his basement. He contacted American Waterworks after seeing an advertisement because he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to provide him with a FREE onsite inspection and design a solution. Eric recommended that we install PowerBraces to stabilize his walls and protect his foundation. Mike liked the proposal that Eric presented to him, so he decided to move forward with repairing his foundation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 7 PowerBraces along the bowing wall. The PowerBraces are designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential for the wall to straighten over time. The beams are covered with a zinc-coating to protect it from rusting or deteriorating. The process was less invasive than Mike thought it would be. Mike is glad he chose the right solution through American Waterworks to protect his foundation for the long-term.

Matt T. of Mankato, MN had bowing foundation walls, causing him to worry about the structural support of his house. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan, who went to his house, examined his walls, and drew out the solution of our Wall Anchor Foundation Repair System. Matt was comfortable with Ryan's presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging small holes beyond the foundation, until they hit compact, undisturbed soil. While installing our anchor system, each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Our wall anchors straighten the wall back into its original position by pulling it back to where it's supposed to be. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors to ensure the system is still sticking to its design. To complete the project, Jose and his team backfilled the holes, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it.
