Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Monticello, MN, noticed their basement ceiling was sinking, so they attempted to fix it themselves. The homeowner placed a wood post in the middle of the room, holding up the ceiling. Knowing this fix would not last forever, the homeowner knew they needed professional assistance. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner looks at the best basement repair companies in their area. During their search, the homeowner came across our stellar reviews and ratings. Impressed, the homeowner decided to go to our website and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to complete the evaluation. Once he arrived, Ryan began his inspection of the basement and confirmed the post needed to be replaced. Ryan suggested replacing the post with one of our SmartJacks, and the homeowners agreed. Once they received approval, the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Gustavo, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the installation. First, the crew removed the wood post from its position. Then, the crew replaced the old post with the SmartJack. Once the SmartJack was secured into place, the crew cleaned up their materials. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is glad to help another customer feel safe in their home. 

A Blooming Prairie, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement walls for some time now. Over the years, the homeowner had noticed several cracks in the home's foundation, and as time progressed, the cracks continued to worsen, raising his concern for his home. The homeowner had no idea who handled foundation repair MN, but decided to confide in some of his friends and family about his concerns. On the recommendation of one of his friends, he decided to call American Waterworks and schedule his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan M, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he wasted no time heading down to the basement to see what could be done. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Ryan informed the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not the sides. So when the amount of pressure from the side becomes more than the wall can bear, homeowners will see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, or sliding in at the bottom. For this reason, Ryan recommended our C-Channel anchor foundation repair system. Ryan explained that these anchors counteract the pressure from the side by anchoring the failing wall to the undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Channel Anchors are versatile, effective systems that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day's time or less. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the successful installation of 17 C-Channel anchors throughout the basement. Now our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation issues are in the past! 

David W. of Chanhassen, MN has a 22x18 four-season addition that is 35 years old. The contractor informed him that the additional had settled two-and-a-half inches. To prevent it from settling more, David needed help from a reliable contractor that professionalized in this kind of work. He saw American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan. Dylan went to the home, carefully inspected and diagnosed the problems, and drew up a detailed solution that would fit David's needs and budget. David was content and comfortable with our product, so he got a date scheduled for our crew to do the installation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed five of our Helical Deck Pier, which are designed with helical-shaped plates on the shank of the helical pier so the pier can be turned into the ground like a big screw, and is made to support the deck permanently. David was very happy with the crew and had a wonderful experience with our company!

A homeowner from Chanhassen, MN, was in the process of renovating her basement when she tore out a piece of drywall to find large cracks running lengthwise on her block foundation wall. The homeowner was instantly worried about what her discovery could mean for the safety of her home. Not wanting to delay repairing the wall, she decided to find a basement foundation company to repair the damages. Through the recommendations of a friend, the homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, was headed out to the home. When Eric arrived, he began his estimate, paying close attention to the basement, outside obstructions, and more. Upon completion of his estimate, Eric met back up with the homeowner to deliver his findings. First, Eric began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall becomes more than what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting inward, or sliding in at the bottom of the wall. Eric went on to say that he was recommending our PowerBrace foundation repair system, explaining that this system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten the wall over time. Over time, PowerBraces can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straight and more vertical. The homeowner was relieved that Eric had provided her with a solution and decided to set a date for the project.

More than a month later, our Foreman, Jose C, and his crew were out at the home to install the system. After a grueling day, our team successfully placed 4 PowerBraces on the problem foundation walls, restoring our customer's faith in her home!
