Before & After Photos

Charles D. of Willernie, MN had a bowing foundation wall. He wanted to get it repaired before it bowed any further. He had American Waterworks take care of him and his home. Our Design Specialist, Chad, inspected his foundation wall and educated him on our solutions. Our Feld Supervisor, Rene, installed our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve a wide variety of problems. The project was completed in one day, and Charles was happy with the work that was done!

Renae from Redby, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that the distribution center she worked at was beginning to show signs of sinkage in particular places. She feared that if the issue was left unresolved, the building might become structurally compromised, or be more expensive to fix later down the road. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to complete his thorough no-obligation walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he recommended the use of our helical piers to correct the sinking portion of the building. He explained that because the portion being lifted was so small, the helical pier would be the best choice because of its ability to be pulled into the soil during installation, providing anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. He went on to say that the helical pier is very versatile and typically used for lighter loads. Renae agreed and work began a few weeks later. Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked diligently to install 4 of our helical piers around the troubled portion of the foundation. Once the job was completed, Renae was happy to know that she could resume business without worrying about her sinking foundation! 

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, noticed the stairstep cracks on their cracks were growing significantly. Concerned about the long-term damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional fix. The homeowner was scrolling through Facebook when one of our paid advertisements caught their eye. Interested in learning more, the homeowner clicked on the ad and took a closer look at our services. The homeowner liked our services and knew we were the best company for their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Brady. Once Brady arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and they showed him to the problematic wall. After looking closer, Brady noticed the wall was showing early signs of failure. To stop this failure from progressing, Brady recommended permanently stabilizing the wall. The homeowner did not want the wall failure to continue, so they agreed with Brady's recommendations. Next, Brady passed the plans along to the office to build the project, and then to our crew. Once the crew arrived, they began the project. First, the crew began by installing seven GeoLock Wall Anchors along the south basement wall. After the GeoLock anchors were secured, the crew shifted their focus to outside the home. The crew installed SilverGlo on the outside south foundation walls. Once all the products were properly secured, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its homeowner's struggling foundation walls. 

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, noticed their floors were beginning to sag. Worried this would affect the home's structure, the homeowner began looking into "sagging floor repair near Cresco, IA". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look. After seeing our impressive before and after photo albums, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Iowa-based Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to take a closer look. Ryan arrived at the home and began the thorough investigation of the foundation. Once he wrapped up his inspection, Ryan determined the floors were not properly stabilized. Ryan provided the homeowner with a proposal that would solve their stabilization issue. After hearing Ryan's recommendations, the homeowner knew it was their best option. Next, Ryan passed the plans to our Logistics team to approve their plans. Once they were given the final stamp of approval, it was assigned to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew. As soon as they received the proposal, Jesus and his crew traveled to the home and began the SmartJack installation. Jesus and his crew installed eight SmartJacks. Additionally, the crew installed a supplemental beam to ensure the floor is secured. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent craftsmanship of the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner peace of mind knowing their foundation is properly secured.

Greg B. in Hugo, MN had two bowing walls in his basement. He had noticed the bowing was getting worse over time and he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation, so he started to look for a foundation repair contractor.

He found American Waterworks’ website and was happy to see that we have many years of experience with foundation repair. He contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his problem and find a solution. Chad developed a thorough plan to stabilize the walls with a combination of both wall anchors and wall braces. Greg liked the proposal that Chad developed, and he felt we were a good fit for his needs, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 9 wall braces along one of the walls and 5 wall anchors on the other. The combination of these foundation repair products straightened, and stabilized Greg’s foundation. The project took a couple of days, but Greg can rest easy knowing he invested in a permanent solution to his foundation problem.
