Before & After Photos

Laura, a homeowner in Medina, ND, was worried about the state of her basement. Living in an older home, she noticed signs of water intrusion and potential foundation issues. She feared she would risk compromising the home's structural integrity if she left the issue unresolved. When she called in, we set her up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how we could help. Laura was confident in the plan, and an installation date was set.

The plan was to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Additionally, the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew installed 18 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement; five each on the East and West sides, and four each on the North and South sides. When the work was done, Laura was happy to know that her basement walls were no longer an issue. 

A homeowner in Jud, ND, was putting items in storage when they discovered a crack along the east and south walls. To prevent the crack from growing further, the homeowner searched for a resolution. While perusing through multiple foundation repair companies, American Waterworks' high reviews caught the homeowner's eye. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent out a Design Specialist, Kole, to survey the situation. Kole completed the survey and recommended that the two affected walls be stabilized. The homeowner agreed and requested that the crew attempt to straighten the walls. Our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew were ready to start the project. Before the start, the homeowner was asked to dig the east and south walls out. The crew started by installing the Geolocks in the south and east wall. After installing the Geolocks, the crew straightened the walls as much as they could. After the Geolocks were successfully put in place, the crew installed SilverGo and Sentry Seal on the affected walls. Once the job was complete, the crew cleaned up and left with another satisfied customer. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

Kurt H. in Luverne, MN had two bowing walls in his basement. He knew that foundation problems could lead to a very costly foundation replacement, so he needed to find a contractor to repair the walls. While researching foundation repair contractors, he came across American Waterworks and decided we would be a good fit for him. He set an appointment for one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to come to his home and give him a free estimate.

Shane developed a foundation repair plan using our wall anchor system. Kurt felt that Shane's proposal was appropriate for his foundation needs, so they set an appointment for the installation. Our production team installed 11 wall anchors along two walls. The anchors were able to straighten his walls and stabilize his foundation. Our wall anchor system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Kurt can rest easy knowing that his home is protected because he invested in permanently repairing the foundation.

Jerry R. in Luverne, MN noticed the cracks in his foundation were only getting larger over time. He was concerned about the structural integrity of his home, so he started doing some research online. He was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been restoring foundations for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to meet with Jerry and propose the best, cost-effective solution for his home. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew were successfully able to stabilize Jerry’s foundation with the installation of 12 of our Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the walls and pull them back to their original position. Jerry was impressed with the quick installation, and we are happy we could restore his peace of mind! 

Audrey S. in Jasper, MN had some severe cracks in the walls in her basement that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She knew how costly it could be to replace her foundation entirely, so she started researching foundation repair contractors. She was glad to see that American Waterworks has been the leading contractor in foundation repair for nearly 3 decades! She contacted us for a free estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate her situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation, our production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the basement wall. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Audrey is happy she made the investment to protect her home.
