Before & After Photos

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.

In North Mankato, MN, a homeowner was growing worried about his concrete walkway leading to his home. The concrete walkway had begun to sink over the years, pulling away from the front stoop. The homeowner was concerned that if he did not address the issue, the walkway would continue to sink, creating a larger trip hazard. The homeowner began to ask friends and family who they would recommend to fix the concrete sink, and quickly found American Waterworks. Impressed with our concrete repair before and after image sets, he decided to claim his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Justin M, headed out to the home. 

When Justin got to the home, he began his inspection, measuring the amount the concrete had sunk and other areas of the home that could also be suffering from sinking slabs. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Justin informed the homeowner that we could remedy the issue with the help of our PolyLevel injection. Our poly level solution is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath sunken slabs. As the foam expands it slowly pushes the concrete upwards and back into place. Justin went on to say that he was also recommending our NexusPro; a silicone based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up against harsh weather conditions to protect the fresh lift. The homeowner needed some time to think over the solution, and to get a few other estimates. A few weeks passed, and the homeowner decided Justin's solution was more comprehensive, so he reached out to schedule his project. 

On the day of the installation our Foreman, Troy J, and his Co-Foreman completed the lift effortlessly, restoring the safety to our customers home. Now, our customer can enjoy the most his outdoor oasis has to offer!

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.
