Before & After Photos

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was beginning the initial stages of selling her home. However, she knew she had one roadblock to overcome. She had several stair-step cracks running the length of her basement. She didn't want any foundation issues to compromise a potential sale, so she decided to search for a professional MN basement foundation repair company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Derek got right to work inspecting each wall. When he concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Derek began by saying that the homeowner was right to contact us, as failing foundations are notorious for dragging down the resale value of a home. Derek recommended the use of our PowerBrace wall repair 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 was thrilled to hear that the solution wasn't going to be overly invasive and decided to schedule the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our team, lead by their Foreman, Jesus C, headed out to the home to install the system. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently resell her home, knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!

Robert C. of Brooklyn Park, MN had cracked foundation walls, so he called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, went out to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Robert felt confident in Jeremy's proposal, so he scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the installation by digging holes outside of the home to install our GeoLock Wall Anchors from the outside soil to the interior foundation wall. Our crew tightened them on each side, permanently stabilizing and straightening the wall. To complete the work, our crew filled the holes with soil and replaced the dirt, leaving the home better than the way they found it. Robert's peace of mind was restored, thanks to Hugo and his crew!

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner had been dealing with a leaky basement for years. Each time it rained, the homeowner fell victim to unwanted water finding its way into her space. She no longer wanted to deal with the issue and decided to find a basement waterproofing company in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin A, was headed out to the home. When Ryan finished his estimate appointment, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending the homeowner for taking action on her space. Dustin explained that waterproofing issues don't get better with time but rather with diligent homeowners who are committed to the health and value of their homes. He went on to say that he had the perfect system to deal with the water in the basement. First, Dustin recommended our CleanSpace system be installed directly to the walls of the basement. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material works to catch water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward to a perimeter drain. Furthermore, CleanSpace has an anti-microbial protection, UltraFresh, built right in. As for the perimeter drain, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard drainage system. This unique French drain system gets installed below the basement floor atop the footing of the foundation to keep it clear of the 'mud zone' where similar systems tend to clog. Dustin elaborated, saying that this system works to give water entering through the floor a channel to flow freely to the sump pump that had been previously placed in the space. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and worked with Dustin to find the correct date for installation. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his crew arrived at the home. Once the project had concluded, Juan and his team installed 77 sqft of both WaterGuard and CleanSpace within the basement. Now, our customer can lay her water intrusion nightmare to rest!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed a slight horizontal crack in their foundation. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked to have an expert visit their home and provide them with some answers. Knowing we have done excellent work around their area, the homeowner looked at the foundation repair services that we offer. Impressed with our extensive lists, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Once Nick arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowners and began his inspection. Once he completed the inspection, Nick determined that the wall was cracked due to the excess pressure being put on the wall. To stop this from worsening, Nick suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. After deliberating their options, the homeowners knew this was their best option. Once they received approval, our Foreman, Jose and his crew traveled to the home. The crew arrived and began by preparing the lawn and wall for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is an innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installed five GeoLock anchors along the west basement wall. After all the GeoLocks were secured into place, the crew could clean up their site and leave the home. The homeowners were thankful to know that their wall was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

Brian R. of Zimmerman, MN had a crack in his foundation, causing him to worry about the strength of his home. His realtor referred American Waterworks for the repairs. Our Design Specialist, Chad, inspected Brian's wall and proposed our PowerBraces, which are made to stabilize failing basement walls. Brian got all of his questions answered and was confident in the price and quote, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew installed seven of our PowerBraces against the foundation wall, and ensured that Brian's expectations were met!
