Before & After Photos

Peter B. of Eau Claire, WI had some concerns with his retaining wall and he wanted to talk with a professional to see what needed to be done. He found American Waterworks online so he scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist inspected Peter's retaining wall and determined a solution that would work for him and his needs. He proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed six of our GeoLock Wall Anchors and six of our GeoLock C-Channel Anchors, both of which are designed to stabilize and straighten foundation walls. Our C-Channel Anchors are made to repair walls that bowing at the top and bottom of foundation walls, and our Wall Anchors are made to repair walls that are bowing outward in the middle. Peter had a great experience with our team and he could not believe the amount of work that was put in to complete the project!

Nick B. of Eau Claire, WI had a horizontal crack on his foundation wall, and he wanted it repaired before it got any worse. He had basement waterproofing done by our company so he reached out to us again for foundation repair. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to Nick's house, carefully inspected his foundation, and proposed the solution of our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners. Nick was confident in the system and its features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew installed six of our wall anchors to stabilize and straighten the cracked foundation wall. This system can stop inward movement entirely and over time, the homeowner can tighten these anchors with a torque wrench to ensure the system is sticking to its design.

Roger L. owned a home in Strum, WI that he was using as an income property. He decided that he wanted to sell the house, so he didn’t have to deal with renting it out anymore. He knew that before he could put it on the market, he would have to make some repairs to the home, including repairing the foundation. He had two cracked walls in his basement, one of which had started bowing inward. Over the years he noticed it gradually getting worse and worse and he decided it was time to call American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions and get a FREE estimate.

One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went onsite to inspect his walls and develop the right solution for his specific needs. Rick concluded that the best repair option would be to install wall anchors, and Roger agreed. A couple of weeks later, our production crew arrived at the home to start the installation. They drilled small holes through the damaged block foundation and inserted long metal rods through the wall and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured both ends of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. Once the anchors were tightened, the walls began to straighten and stabilize. The anchors should continue to be tightened over to time to continuously improve the strength of the foundation.

Greg J. of Strum, WI had a bowing foundation wall in his old farm home and it was in need of reinforcement. He came across an American Waterworks commercial on television, so he called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin. Dustin went to Greg's home, carefully inspected his foundation wall, and proposed our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve a variety of different problems. Greg was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew installed seven of our wall anchors to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall back to its natural position. This anchor-rod installation involves soil removal, backfill, and minimal disturbance to the home. Greg was happy with the work and had a great experience with our team from start to finish.

A homeowner from West Salem, WI, had been worried about his basement walls for some time now. Over the years, the homeowner had watched as the walls slowly cracked in various places, leading the wall to bow inward. Not wanting the issue to worsen, the homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in Wisconsin to help. Through the recommendation of a friend, the homeowner signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, was out to the home. 

Mac diligently inspected the entire house, paying close attention to the basement walls. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner and informed him that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac then went on to say that he had the perfect solution, our PowerBrace system. Mac explained that PowerBraces are a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and set a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team arrived bright and early at the home. After a long day, the team had effortlessly installed 6 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement on the affected walls. Now, our customer can rest a bit easier at night knowing that his foundation has the proper line of defense!
