American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Bradley S. of Fergus Falls, MN had cracking foundation walls in his basement, and he wanted to get his wall repaired rather than replaced. He saw that American Waterworks provides services in his area, so he got in touch with our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home, thoroughly inspected the foundation walls, and drew out a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. Bradley was confident in Ian's proposal of our wall anchors system, so he signed Ian's contract, wrote out a deposit, and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foremen, Ryan and Corey, and their production team began the project by digging smalls holes around the entire perimeter of the home. From the inside of the basement, our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside of the foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of each rod, our team installed an anchor plate, which anchors the rod into the soil. From the inside, our team installed a wall anchor to the end of each rod. The combination of the anchor plate, metal rod, and wall anchor allows the wall to stabilize and straighten back into its original position. To complete the project, our team backfilled in each hole beyond the foundation and ensured the yard looked neater than when they found it. Bradley had a good experience with our team from start to finish!

Kevin B. of Fergus Falls, MN had a cracked, bowing foundation wall that needed to be repaired. He found American Waterworks on Google, so he called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, inspected the walls and proposed our Wall Anchor System to stabilize the walls and our caulk to seal the cracks. Kevin was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew installed five of our wall anchors along the foundation wall to stabilize and straighten them back to their normal positions. Next, our crew sealed the cracks with caulk, which gives the walls a nice appearance and prevents moisture from seeping inside the cracks. Kevin was happy with the work that was completed, and had a great experience!

Dale, from Fergus Falls, MN, reached out to us when he began to notice that one of the walls of his basement was beginning to bow inward. Dale knew that a deteriorating foundation was not only dangerous for the household but could potentially harm any resale of the house that might be in the future. Dale used his FREE estimate and our Fargo-based Design Specialist, Ian, was at the property soon after that. When Ian arrived he got to work doing a thorough inspection of the root of the cause, and the severity of the damage and made recommendations as to how we could help Dale restore his wall. Ian reported that the bowing wall was being caused by the soil on the other side of the wall pushing it inward. He recommended Dale take action soon and, based on the bowing wall, was able to recommend our PowerBrace system to correct the issue. Our PowerBrace solution is a system of I-shaped beams that work to stabilize and straighten bowing walls over a period of time. 

The Foreman for the project, Zach, and his crew got to work and ended up placing 12 PowerBraces around the perimeter of the basement in an effort to stabilize and straighten the problem wall. 

Now Dale can get back to enjoying most of what his home has to offer! 

A homeowner in Hillsboro, ND had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to have water moisture problems and wet floors. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks and our service area. They called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. The homeowner was confident in Chad's design, so they scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter, forming a trench. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System where the water was leaking. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity and serves as an extra wall protectant. Then, our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. In connection with the WaterGuard, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe solves all three water problems in one system and is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. To complete the project, Jesus and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The homeowner was ecstatic with the work and had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
