Before & After Photos

Wayne, a homeowner in Hendrum, MN, was concerned about the state of his crawlspace. The space had a floor joist cut through while the plumbing was installed in the bathroom, causing the floor to settle. After looking at what American Waterworks does, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. Following a thorough examination, Kole recommended that Wayne invest in our crawl space support posts. Specifically, Kole shared about our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. Wayne was confident in the solution presented, so he proceeded with the project.

Our crew, led by our Fargo Field Supervisor, Corey, headed to the property shortly after and got to work. First, they installed a 6' supplemental support beam. To be stable, strong and level, the floor above a crawl space requires solid mid-span support, usually provided by a post-and-beam assembly. Next, the crew installed 2 1'-3' SmartJacks. The SmartJack® system supports sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack® support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Because of the design, it can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Finally, even though the crawlspace was already encapsulated, our team needed to notch some out for the SmartJacks, which meant that we also patched up the clean space to leave it better than we found it! Wayne was satisfied with the project and was grateful we could assist him with his home repair needs!  

A homeowner from Argusville, ND was beginning to notice her floor was starting to bow. Because she knew there was a crawl space below, she had concerns about the structural integrity of the home. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the damage. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could help. Kole wanted to use our SmartJacks to address the bowing wood in the crawl space. He explained that our SmartJacks are unique in that they are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner agreed with the recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team work diligently to install 8 of our SmartJacks throughout the space. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the strength and safety of her crawl space. 

Jeremy, from Halstad, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wall was beginning to crack, showing clear signs of wall failure. Jeremy didn't want to risk compromising the structural integrity of the home more than it already was, so he decided to give us a call. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he concluded, he recommended the use of our PowerBrace system, steel I-beams that will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. Richie informed Jeremy that our PowerBraces have the option to be tightened over time, giving them added effectiveness. Jeremy agreed with Richie's recommendations. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Tremaine, ended up installing 6 of our PowerBraces throughout the space. Once the job was complete, Jeremy was happy to know he no longer needed to worry about his foundation issue. 

A homeowner from Red Lake Falls, MN, was walking across their main level floor one day when they noticed a slight sag to the floor. Upon inspection, the naked eye could see that the floor was indeed uneven. The homeowner was worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One night, he saw one of our TV ads informing him that we specialize in fixing failing foundations. He decided to schedule his FREE inspection, and several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home.

Ian got right to work assessing the space. When he completed it, he informed the homeowner that we could address the problem using our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system provides soil support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, this system can correct problems such as sloping, overfly spring floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Due to it's modern design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked the sound of Ian's plan, and signed on the spot. 

When the installation day rolled around, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 4 of our SmartJacks throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past! 

Ryan M. of Thief River Falls, MN had cracked foundation walls throughout his entire basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, carefully inspected his foundation walls, and came up with the solution of our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. After Ryan got all of his questions answered about the product and its warranty, he decided to go ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 24 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement. Our PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them out over time. Since they are steel beams, they will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Ryan was happy with the repairs, and is thankful we were able to repair his peace of mind and home repair needs!
