Before & After Photos

In Byron, MN, a homeowner had noticed a large horizontal crack forming on their foundation walls. Concerned that the issue would continue to worsen until it leads to wall failure, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair experts in the area and found us. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan took a close look at the foundation walls, determining where the cracks are and which needed stabilizing. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, he began working on a detailed solution. Ryan recommended installing GeoLock, our warrantied wall anchoring system that anchors the interior foundation wall to stable soil, preventing further movement. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home to install 3 GeoLocks. The crew began by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed and connected to the interior wall with a steel pole. Once everything was properly attached, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

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.

In Bemidji, MN, a homeowner was concerned about his basement. The homeowner had recently purchased the home, and was aware of a vertical crack running the length of his basement wall. Instantly concerned about what an unstable foundation could mean for his home, he decided to look for a bowing wall contractor in the area. After doing research online, the homeowner found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our reviews, and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian S, was scheduled to head out to the home to evaluate the basement. When he arrived, he was directed to the basement where he began performing his inspection. When he was satisfied with his evaluation he met up with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Ian began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the sides. When the side pressure being applied on the wall becomes too much for it to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowner to experiencing cracking, bowing, or tilting in at the top or bottom of the wall. Ian went on to say that while the issue was serious, we could provide a solution. Ian wanted to use our GeoLock C Channel Anchors. This system permanently stabilizes and repairs bowing or tilting foundation walls, without the cost and disruption of total foundation replacement. This warrantied solution includes a complete wall anchor system and a channel anchor that mounts on your foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. The homeowner was relieved to hear that he did not need to replace his entire foundation, and decided to book the project on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Aaron R, and his team arrived at the property and made quick work of the installation. When the project had been completed our customer was thrilled to know he no longer needed to worry about his failing foundation!
