Before & After Photos

Angelina S. of Waconia, MN had cracked and bowing foundation walls. In fact, on rainy days, water would come into her basement. She worked with American Waterworks for the repairs. Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, and our Wall Anchors to waterproof the basement and repair the foundation walls. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity, while also saving money on energy costs. Lastly, our wall anchor system is a special anchor-rod installation that stabilizes foundation walls and allows the wall to straighten back to its normal position. To complete the entire installation, Juan and his team filled the open-floor gaps (that were broken out with a jackhammer) with river rock and an additional layer of concrete. Angelina was thrilled with the work and could not believe the beautiful transformation!

A homeowner from Waconia, MN, was getting his home ready for resale. Before he could list his home, he was aware of several issues that needed to be fixed so as to not hinder the sale. One of these issues was a large crack running lengthwise on one of the homeowner's basement walls. He had been aware of the crack for some time but knew it was time to take action. He began to look for foundation repair MN and quickly found our website. He signed up for our FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home.

Once Ryan finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He explained that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on the wall exceeds its ability to withstand the force, it begins to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. For this reason, Ryan recommended our GeoLock anchors. These anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil beyond the homes foundation. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's proposal and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of 7 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently list his home for sale, knowing everything is in tip-top shape! 

Bev H. of Morristown, MN had bowed foundation walls so she called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Bev was comfortable with the proposal so she got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the installation by digging two holes outside of the left side of the home. In each hole, our team installed a long, metal rod from the exterior soil to the interior foundation wall. On each end of the rod, our crew installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, will tighten and straighten the foundation walls back into their normal position. To complete the installation, Hugo and his team replaced the exterior soil and backfilled each hole. Bev was thrilled with the outcome and couldn't believe the project only took one day! 

Ann and John B. of New Prague, MN had bowing and cracked walls in their basement that needed to be reinforced. Our office staff set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, examined their foundation wall, and came up with a solution. Ann and John were confident in Eric's design of our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team started the installation by cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion and saturated the masonry with epoxy. Then, our team installed 10 of our CarbonArmor strips and coated it with more epoxy to adhere the strips to the wall and to enhance each strip's strength. Ann and John were happy and impressed by how quickly the project went! 

A male homeowner in New Prague, MN had a cracked foundation wall that was allowing water into the basement. He contacted American Waterworks and had our team install our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our PowerBraces. Our CleanSpace is a vapor protectant that prevents water from seeping in and saves money on energy costs. Our PowerBraces are designed to stabilize and straighten foundation walls over time. Once the project was completed, our Foreman provided the homeowner with a thorough walkthrough of the project and ensured all of his expectations were met!
