Before & After Photos

Sam in Arkansaw, WI had three cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, and he wanted to have his walls repaired before the problem got any worse. After visiting a local home show and talking with one of our Design Specialists, he decided to have us inspect his foundation and provide him with a FREE estimate. Our Specialist recommended that we install wall anchors on two of the walls and PowerBraces on the other. Sam agreed that this was the best solution for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed the wall anchors by drilling small holes through the block foundation into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to permanently stabilize the wall. Next, they installed the PowerBraces, which are strong steel I-beams that are secured by brackets that are drilled into the floor and the rim joists. These two foundation repair products not only permanently stabilized Sam’s foundation, but they also provide the potential for his walls to straighten back to their original position.

Lemont B. of Minnesota City, MN had cracks in his foundation wall, making him feel nervous about the structural build and stability of his home. He saw one of our advertisements in the newspaper and called our office line to scheduled a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, went to his home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. After a thorough diagnosis, Lemont was confident in the proposal and presentation so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by digging two holes outside of the foundation wall. From the inside of the basement, our team drilled a long, medal rod from the inside of the wall to each hole beyond the foundation. At the end of each rod, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which are made to stabilize foundation walls and straighten them over time. To complete the job, Raul and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Lemont was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored! 

Michelle and Alexander H. of Monona, IA had cracked foundation walls in their garage, so they called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to their home to look at the issue and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Michelle and Alexander were comfortable with Brian's offer, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew began the installation by digging four holes outside of the garage wall, and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are made to help stabilize foundation walls and straighten them out overtime. Hugo and his crew replaced the outside soil and backhilled the holes. Michelle and Alexander were pleased with the completion, and were grateful we could help them at their time of need! 

Christine C.'s ceiling was sinking into her basement, making her feel scared and uncomfortable living in her own home. After doing some research online, she came across American Waterworks and our foundation repair products. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Christine was confident in Chad's proposal, so she followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team installed 15 of our 7-foot-tall SmartJacks and their brackets to lift and stabilize the ceiling. Our SmartJacks provide a solid support for sagging beams and can be adjusted overtime to make sure they are still doing their job.

Christine was thrilled with the outcome, and no longer has to worry about the stability and structural build of her home! 

Jon K. in Durand, WI had a cracked and bowing basement wall that was only getting worse over time. He started doing some research online and came across the American Waterworks website. He was happy to learn that we’ve been successfully repairing foundations for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to evaluate the situation and propose the best solution. Jon was impressed with our products and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew were able to stabilize the foundation wall with the installation of 5 Geo-Lock Channel Anchors. Channel Anchors are installed with minimal disturbance to the lawn and landscaping and mount to the foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. Jon was impressed with the quick installation and is glad he made the investment to protect his home!
