American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Linda M. in Gibbon, MN had some cracks in her basement walls that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She started researching foundation repair contractors and was glad to run into our booth at the New Ulm Home and Health Show. She set up an appointment to have our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, evaluate the situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation walls, our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and 3 PowerBraces along the basement walls. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Linda is happy she chose to permanently stabilize her home, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A homeowner in Shelly, MN, noticed their sidewalk was cracked and separating. To prevent any safety hazards, the homeowner sought to repair the cracks. After hearing many solid reviews, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner gave our Appointment Center a call and they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Ian, to inspect the state of the sidewalk. Ian completed the inspection of the sidewalk and was able to come up with a proposed solution, which the homeowners agreed to. Ian sent the proposed solution to the crew and repairs began. Our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew began by identifying any tripping hazards around the area. Once the tripping hazards were found, the crew injected PolyLevel to raise the foundation as close to the original height as possible. Since the crew did not raise all the concrete slabs, the affected slabs were raised as close as possible to the original. Then, NexusPro is filled into the cracks throughout the concrete slab. The homeowners were grateful that their sidewalk was properly raised and the tripping hazards were eliminated. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Matt C. in Amboy, MN had cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the amount of stress it was putting on his foundation and did not want to let the damage get any worse, so he contacted us to receive a FREE estimate. We were happy to send one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the foundation problem and provide him with a solution. Jeremy assured him that we could repair his foundation walls by installing wall anchors. Matt liked Jeremy’s proposal and felt like we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled rods through the brick wall to the soil outside of the home. They secured the rods with anchor plates on each end. Once the plates were tightened, Matt was able to visibly see a difference in the stability of the walls. The anchors will continue to straighten the walls over time as well. Our wall anchor system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Matt can rest easy knowing he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his foundation.

A homeowner in Amboy, MN, grew concerned over a tripping hazard near their front door. After seeing the impressive before and afters on social media, the homeowner decided to work with American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. After the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Brad, set out for the home to begin the estimate. Almost immediately, Brad noticed that the patio was beginning to sink which caused the significant dip. Brad suggested that the homeowner lift and level the patio, and they agreed. Our Foreman, Sam, and his crew traveled to the property to begin their work. The crew began by clearing off the patio. Next, the crew installed the PolyLevel underneath the entire patio and sidewalk leading to the home. The crew successfully lifted and leveled the patio, and removed the tripping hazard. The homeowner was delighted that their patio looked as good as new. American Waterworks is glad to work with another lovely customer.

A homeowner from Amboy, MN got in touch with us when he began to notice that his basement walls were seemingly beginning to tilt inward. The homeowner knew that foundation issues aren't something to wait to fix, so he took advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate for the issue. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric, headed out to the property to conduct his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that he was right to contact us because the walls were indeed beginning to display signs of failure. He informed the homeowner that their best line of defense against complete failure was our GeoLock Wall Anchors. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

After our team had finished the installation, they placed 10 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Once the work was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that their foundation was no longer in trouble!
