Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, had been concerned for the stabilization of their foundation walls due to the multiple cracks that had formed. Needing expert advice, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE foundation estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist Brady S. arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the foundation walls, noting where the cracks had formed. Brady then created a proposal recommending GeoLock, our wall anchor system, to permanently stabilize the walls. Happy to know that the GeoLocks can be straightened over time, the homeowner agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus M., and his crew arrived to install 12 GeoLock wall anchors. Once the slabs had been successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind their foundation walls are permanently stabilized! Looking for warrantied foundation repair solutions? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

Brittany and Matt R. of Mayer, MN had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their home, making them worry about the structural build and safety of their home. They went online and came across our website on Google. After looking through our foundation repair products, they saw that we provide FREE Estimates for all of our services. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home, carefully inspected their foundation walls, and came up with the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors to solve the problem. Brittany and Matt were comfortable with Shane's proposal and the product, so they signed the contract and went ahead with the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrbuias, and his crew began the installation by digging seven holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. Next, our team drilled a long, medal rod from the inside of the home to each hole outside. Once they found the end of the rod in each hole, they screwed on and tightened an anchor plate, which tightly holds the rod in place with the soil. Our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Anchor to the ends of each rod inside of the home to strengthen and straighten the foundation wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, Jesus and his crew backfilled each hole and made sure the soil was tight and compact, leaving the yard looking much neater than when they found it. Brittany and Matt were happy with the work and could not believe it only took one day!

A customer in Annandale, MN, was enjoying the summer on the lake but noticed their boat house walls were cracking. Wanting to save the structure, the customer searched for a solution. After seeing the excellent work we have done in their area, the customer decided to work with us. After signing up for their FREE estimate on our website, the customer prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Shane. Once Shane arrived, he began the inspection of the boat house. After his in-depth inspection, Shane determined that the walls required permanent stabilization. The customer agreed to Shane's suggestions and the job preparation began. Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew were assigned to the job. After they arrived, the crew began by installing eight PowerBraces on the west and east boat house walls. After the PowerBraces were installed, the crew provided the customer with a tightening kit. This kit allows the walls to straighten over time. The homeowners were pleased with the crew's swift and excellent installation. American Waterworks is happy to assist another customer. 

Dan and Nancy M. of Plymouth, IA had a bowing retaining timber wall, causing them to worry about the value of their home and property. They went on our website and came across our foundation repair products, where he learned that we would be able to fix his issue. He set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan. Ryan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Dan and Nancy got all of their questions answered and felt comfortable with the product, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew began the installation by putting block wood over the cracked foundation and inserting five long, metal rods into the wall and tightening and screwing a wall anchor to each rod. This system stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. After the installation, the wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall and pull it back to its original position. 

Dan and Nancy were happy with the work that was completed and couldn't believe the transformation from start to finish!

Breanne and Benedict M. of Nora Springs, IA had a bowed foundation wall and water seeping through their walls, causing them to worry about the value and safety of their home. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and drew out a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs.

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by installing our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, and act as an extra wall protectant barrier. Next, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which is a system that stabilizes basement walls, providing the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the disruption of foundation replacement. It also offers the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position. Breanne and Benedict were happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!
