American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Mark S. of Henriette, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about the strength and support of his home. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected the problems, and came up with the solution of our ShotLock Wall Restoration System. Our ShotLock provides a fast, affordable alternative to demolishing and rebuilding a deteriorating foundation. Mark was confident in Shane's proposal and got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team installed 57 feet of our ShotLock System around the foundation wall perimeter. Some other advantages of this product include its restoration for safety and property value, the material is twice as strong as concrete, cheaper than foundation replacement, and it can be completed in a few days or less. Mark was happy with the work and was shocked by the transformation! 

Bridget in Ossian, IA was trying to sell her home that she had lived in for 25 years. The buyer was concerned about a cracked wall in the garage and wanted to have it inspected. Bridget’s realtor got her in touch with American Waterworks to help with her foundation problem. One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went onsite to give her a FREE inspection and design a solution.

Rick recommended that she have us install PowerBraces along the damaged wall to permanently stabilize it. Bridget and the buyer agreed to have the project completed, so they scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed the four PowerBraces in the garage and left the homeowner with a tightening kit to continue straightening the wall over time. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime warranty, so she is confident in their decision to go with American Waterworks. The homeowner is pleased with the results and she is glad her foundation wall in now secure.

A homeowner in Ossian, IA was concerned when he went down to his basement and noticed a large puddle of water that had formed on the floor. He found that the issue was coming in from multiple sides of the house and spread to cover a larger area of the floor. He decided that something needed to be done to prevent further damage to the space. He contacted American Waterworks and we set him up with one of our FREE no-obligation estimates. Once we received more information on what the problem was, we sent over Design Specialist Dustin Amenda to the home. Dustin knew just how the problem had started and explained that water could easily enter through any cracks and pores in concrete floors, like the ones in the homeowner's basement. As a solution, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard system to be installed to catch future incoming water and send it away to the sump pump. The homeowner agreed to the plans and when one of our Foremen, Jeremiah Fischer, and his crew arrived they carefully installed the WaterGuard. The homeowner was relieved to have a way to fix the problem and happy he called American Waterworks.

Homeowner experienced a sunken concrete slab in their driveway.  After a few hiccups, Troy was able to lift the slab back to it's original position and the homeowner was thrilled.  

Steve in Lanesboro, MN had a concrete driveway that had sunk roughly two inches after the change in season, so he started researching concrete lifting options. He was interested in learning more about our polymer foam solution, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went onsite to inspect his concrete and develop a personalized solution. Steve was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is a faster, more durable and less invasive method compared to mudjacking.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete and injected the polymer foam. The foam fills the voids under the concrete and expands, causing the concrete to be lifted. They injected the foam until the concrete slabs were level with the garage floor. This process only took a couple of hours to complete, and now Steve can enjoy beautiful, safe concrete for years to come!
