American Waterworks Before & After Photos

In Bemidji, MN a homeowner was looking to make some changes to his cabin before the winter months arrived. His main concern was the foundation landing outside of the side door that had sunken over the years. Wanting to get it fixed, he went online to find a reasonable solution because he wasn't interested in fully replacing it. He looked up foundation repair companies and came across the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our past work and our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. We received his request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists to inspect the foundation. The Design Specialist explained that our HelicalPiers were the perfect solution to stabilize the landing and prevent it from sinking again. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was later greeted by one of our Foremen, Juan Pena, and his crew. They carefully installed the HelicalPiers and made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before leaving the home.

A homeowner in Bemidji, MN, noticed that his home was taking a long time to heat up during the winter. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to do some research and learned that a bad crawl space could be the issue. After learning this, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, James explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of crawl space damage is vents. This is moisture vets allows moisture to come in, causing the walls, floor joists, and insulation to become saturated with water from condensation. For this reason, James recommended CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the floors and walls, and Drainage Matting, an extremely durable matting that creates drainage space between the CleanSpace and the ground beneath the crawl space. The homeowner happily agreed and decided to schedule the installation date. 

In about a month, our Foreman, RJ L., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 803 sqft of CleanSpace and 527 sqft of Drainage Matting. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Bemidji, MN, a homeowner was concerned about his basement. The homeowner had recently purchased the home, and was aware of a vertical crack running the length of his basement wall. Instantly concerned about what an unstable foundation could mean for his home, he decided to look for a bowing wall contractor in the area. After doing research online, the homeowner found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our reviews, and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian S, was scheduled to head out to the home to evaluate the basement. When he arrived, he was directed to the basement where he began performing his inspection. When he was satisfied with his evaluation he met up with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Ian began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the sides. When the side pressure being applied on the wall becomes too much for it to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowner to experiencing cracking, bowing, or tilting in at the top or bottom of the wall. Ian went on to say that while the issue was serious, we could provide a solution. Ian wanted to use our GeoLock C Channel Anchors. This system permanently stabilizes and repairs bowing or tilting foundation walls, without the cost and disruption of total foundation replacement. This warrantied solution includes a complete wall anchor system and a channel anchor that mounts on your foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. The homeowner was relieved to hear that he did not need to replace his entire foundation, and decided to book the project on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Aaron R, and his team arrived at the property and made quick work of the installation. When the project had been completed our customer was thrilled to know he no longer needed to worry about his failing foundation!
