A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN, knew their foundation was struggling. After holding it off for long enough, the homeowner began their search for a solution. After seeing our advertisement in Shopwise Maple Grove, the homeowner was interested in our services. The homeowner called the number on the paper and was connected to our Appointment Specialists. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Daniel, one of our Design Specialists. Daniel traveled to the home to meet with the homeowner and investigate the foundation. Following introductions, Daniel completed a full inspection of the home's foundation. Daniel discovered that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Daniel suggested installing GeoLocks around the entire foundation. Wanting their home to be safe, the homeowner agreed with Daniel's recommendations. Once they were approved, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. After they arrived at the home, the crew began installing 28 GeoLock anchors around the entire foundation.  Along with the GeoLock anchors, the crew included a straightening kit. This will allow the walls to be straightened over time. The crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Failing Foundation Repaired with SmartJacks in Kenyon, MN

Lee C. in Kenyon, MN contacted American Waterworks because he noticed the beams in his basement were sagging, he had cracks in the drywall, sticking doors, and unlevel floors. All of these are symptoms of a failing foundation and only get worse over time. Lee met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who recommended he have our structural support jacks and supplemental support beams installed to stop any further deterioration. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew got to work and installed 10 SmartJacks and supplemental beams throughout the basement to straighten and strengthen the sagging floors. Because of its design, the SmartJack can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary.

Shifting Garage Foundation Gets Stabilized in West Concord, MN

Greg H. in West Concord, MN noticed that his garage wall was pulling away from his home and it had created about a half inch gap between his house and the garage. He started looking into foundation repair options and he came across the American Waterworks website. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. We recommended installing PowerBraces along the shifting foundation to halt any further movement and start to move the foundation back into place. Greg felt that our plan was the most efficient, durable, and cost-effective option, so he chose to move forward with the installation.

Our production team started the installation by securing brackets into the garage floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. The installation took a day to complete, but now Greg’s foundation is permanently restored, and he no longer is concerned about the stability of his garage.
