Before & After Photos

John and Teri K. of Hugo, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement garage, causing them to worry about the structural support of their home. They heard about American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home, inspected their problems and came up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. They were confident in Ryan's proposal of our PowerBraces and ShotLock, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team installed 13 of our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them out over time. Next, Matt and his team applied our ShotLock around the basement wall perimeter and over the PowerBraces. Our ShotLock is made to stabilize and rebuild foundation walls that have deteriorated excessively. John and Teri were happy with the repairs and could not believe the transformation! 

A homeowner in Afton, MN, noticed their garage cement walls were beginning to come apart. Concerned with the garage's stability, the homeowner knew American Waterworks would complete their request. The homeowners called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Soon after the appointment was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Darin to inspect the stability of the garage and home. Once the detailed inspection was complete, Darin suggested that the homeowners permanently stabilize the walls and foundation to avoid further damage. The homeowners agreed and the preparations for the job began. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew arrived at the property and started by installing four PowerBraces along the lower garage south job. Once the PowerBraces were in place, the crew installed two SmartJacks in the middle of the lower garage to provide further stability. After the stabilization was complete, the crew installed CleanSpace along the lower garage's west and south walls. The crew swiftly completed the job and put the basement back where they found it. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent job done by the crew and left a glowing review. American Waterworks is pleased that another customer is delighted with our work. 

A homeowner in Roseau, MN had cracked and inward bowing walls in their basement, making them feel uncomfortable living in their own home. They did some research on our website and came across our foundation repair products. They called our office line to learn a bit more and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a detailed and thorough diagnosis, the homeowner was comfortable with the proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by digging four holes in front of the home. Our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. Next, our crew tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the end of each rod in the soil to anchor itself there and brace the foundation wall. Lastly, Matt and his team installed and tightened four of our GeoLock Channel Anchors inside of the foundation wall, which are made to straighten cracking and bowing walls over time. To complete the project, our crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. The homeowner was thrilled with the work, and had a great experience!

Richard A. of Braham, MN had a cracked foundation causing it to push inward. He was worried about the structural stability of his home, so he got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to Richard's house to carefully inspect his cracked foundation and recommend a solution. Richard was comfortable with Chad's approach and presentation of our wall anchor system, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew installed six of our wall anchors, which are made to repair and stabilize bowing and cracked walls. This anchor-rod installation involves digging out and removing soil, minimal disturbance to landscaping, and soil backfill and compaction. This system can permanently stop inward movement walls and in fact, over time, homeowners can tighten them by themselves to ensure the system is sticking to its design.

John B. in Stillwater, MN had an added-on porch that had started settling. The concrete had started to sink, and the foundation walls were cracked. He was concerned about water and pests coming in, as well as the pressure the it was putting on his foundation. He started to research possible solutions and he came across the American Waterworks website.

He contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his foundation and design a solution. Chad worked closely with John to create a solution that was the best fit for his needs. John liked the proposal that Chad presented to him, so he chose to move forward with repairing his foundation.

Our production crew installed 6 wall anchors underneath the porch and CarbonArmor over the cracks in the wall. They also injected PolyLevel foam to raise the concrete around the foundation and make it a level surface. The combination of these foundation and concrete repair products have stabilized John’s foundation. He now has peace of mind that his porch is secure. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his most important asset.
