Before & After Photos

A Minnetonka, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement for some time. Over time, he had noticed large stair-step cracks forming on his wall. Not wanting the issue to get any worse, he went to google to search cracked foundation repair near me. After sifting through the results, he found the American Waterworks website, signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. Darin recommended the use of our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner agreed with Darin and scheduled the work for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jose C, and his team installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her home knowing her foundation worries have been corrected!

Desiree S. was suffering from a wet basement and a damaged foundation wall. The wall had multiple cracks, was bowing inward, and water was seeping through. She did her research and was glad to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for 30 years! She contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a permanent solution to fit her needs. 

We were able to restore Desiree’s basement by installing Geo-lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation, which immediately halted the deterioration and began to straighten the wall. Then our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. These waterproofing products work together to keep her basement a dry and healthy space. Desiree is happy she made the investment to protect her home. 

A customer from Savage, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his detached garage were beginning to show signs of cracking and bowing inwards. He was afraid that, if left untreated, the problem would continue to worsen, and could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the home. When he called, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, one of our Design Specialists, Jarrett, headed out to the home to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could fix the issue. Jarrett wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the situation. He explained to our customer that our GeoLock anchors work to stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten and stabilize the wall. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after that. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew wound up installing 8 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the garage quickly and efficiently. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his garage! 

Brian, from Rogers, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice a failing wall on the basement level of his home. Brian was afraid that, if left unchecked, the failing foundation would compromise the structural integrity of the home, as well as affect the window sills of the basement, which could become costly further down the road. When he called us, we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, so our Design Specialist, Jared, headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue and how we could help fix the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he recommended the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained to Brian that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize a foundation wall by anchoring the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. This system has the option to be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls and pull them back into their original position. Brian agreed to the work and the project began shortly after.

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the Southern part of the wall. These anchors allow minimal disturbance to lawn and landscaping. Once the job was finished, Brian was satisfied to know that his failing wall worries were in the past! 

Chris K., a resident in Foley, MN, had a bowing foundation wall, causing him to worry about the strength and support of his home. After doing some research online and coming across our website, Chris called our main office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with Eric Hazelton, one of our Design Specialists. Eric drove to Chris's home, where he introduced himself and inspected the bowing wall. After a thorough examination, Eric proposed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which are the most adaptable wall repair products because they stabilize walls that have a variety of different problems. Chris got all of his questions answered about the product and was comfortable with Eric's proposal, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed 24 of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Each anchor is connected by a long, metal rod to a wall plate that provides the pressure needed to stabilize the foundation wall. Along with their special design, our anchors can be installed year-round, they are warrantied for 25 years, and it provides very little disturbance to the home. This system also offers a good opportunity to straighten the walls without the need for foundation replacement. Are you interested in our GeoLock Wall Anchors?
