Before & After Photos

This home's foundation in Bear Lake, MN was cracking and beginning to bow. The home was older and needed some foundation help. So they contacted us to assess the problem. 

We decided to use Residential Shotcrete, which stabilizes old, deteriorating walls. This substance is twice as strong as concrete. 

Now the homeowners feel twice as safe with their newly reinforced foundation! 

A homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, noticed several of the cracks on their walls were spreading and worsening. Worried this could lead to their foundation wall collapsing, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "foundation repair near me" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Once they saw our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company to repair their issue. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to provide the homeowner with a solution. Dylan prompted arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Dylan confirmed that several walls were suffering from bowing. To prevent the issue from worsening, Dylan recommended installing GeoLocks and PowerBraces on the struggling foundation walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with Dylan's proposal. Following the homeowner's approval, Dylan sent the plans to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built the project, then assigned it to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Kiko and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kiko and his crew began by installing eight GeoLock Anchors on the struggling foundation walls. Once the GeoLock Anchors were secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing four PowerBraces. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind.

Robert and Teresa M. of Saint Paul Park didn't have enough support to hold up their floor to their upstairs. They found out that we provide FREE estimates so they got in touch with our office staff and scheduled their appointment. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to their house, inspected their pre-existing support posts, and proposed our SmartJacks, which are heavy-duty galvanized, steel beams. Robert and Teresa were confident in the system and its design, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew installed seven of our SmartJacks to lift and support the sagging floor joists. This system can hold up to loads of 60,000 pounds. The project took one day and Robert and Teresa were thrilled with the work!

In Bemidji, MN a homeowner was looking to make some changes to his cabin before the winter months arrived. His main concern was the foundation landing outside of the side door that had sunken over the years. Wanting to get it fixed, he went online to find a reasonable solution because he wasn't interested in fully replacing it. He looked up foundation repair companies and came across the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our past work and our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. We received his request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists to inspect the foundation. The Design Specialist explained that our HelicalPiers were the perfect solution to stabilize the landing and prevent it from sinking again. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was later greeted by one of our Foremen, Juan Pena, and his crew. They carefully installed the HelicalPiers and made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before leaving the home.

Karen R. in Pine Island, MN had a shifting foundation wall that needed some support. Karen was concerned about the structural integrity of her home and wanted a cost-effective solution with minimal disturbance. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew installed 7 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing wall. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation. Karen was impressed with the quick installation, and her peace of mind has been restored!
