American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A male resident of Dawson, MN had a cracked and inward bowing foundation wall. He came across our booth at the IDEAg Farm Fest home show, where he spoke to our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the resident's house, carefully inspected their cracked foundation wall, and proposed our CarbonAmor Reinforcing Strips, which is a foundation repair system that strengthens and stabilizes cracked or bowed foundation walls. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed seven of our CarbonArmor Strips. This system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips and is ten times stronger than steel. The male resident was very happy with the work that was done and had a wonderful experience from start to finish!

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is a vapor protectant designed to prevent water from seeping through the wall, save money on energy costs, and make the basement much brighter. Along with that, it also reduces the chances of radon in the home. The homeowner was happy with the project and had a great experience with our team!

A homeowner in Dawson, MN was preparing her front yard for the upcoming summer months and wanted to make a few changes to the space. The first thing she was focused on were the concrete steps and walkway that led up to the front porch and door. The concrete had sunk over time and created an uneven surface for those walking up and down from the door and also looked unpleasant. She went online to see what concrete repair services there were in Minnesota and found American Waterworks. The homeowner was quickly interested in our FREE no-obligation estimates and signed up for her own. One of our Design Specialists, Kevin Beseman, went to the home and carried out a detailed inspection of the steps and walkway. He decided that PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the best combination of products to lift and seal the concrete and restore the space. The homeowner agreed to the installations and later was greeted by our Foreman, Patrick Burnes, and his crew to carry out the project. After everything was carefully installed, the homeowner viewed the area and was impressed with the repairs.

Tyson C. in Walnut Grove, MN had three cracked walls in his basement. They had just started bowing and he knew it was only going to get worse. He heard an advertisement for American Waterworks on the radio and was happy to learn that we have successfully been repairing foundations for many years. He decided to give us a call for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation problem and design a solution. Tyson was pleased with the proposal we developed, so he decided to move forward with having us repair his foundation. 

Our production team installed 26 wall anchors along the three walls. Rods are drilled through the brick walls and into the soil. Then, the anchors are secured with plates on each end of the rod. Once we tightened the anchors, Tyson was able to see a dramatic change in the stability of his walls. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Tyson can rest easy knowing this foundation will always be secure.

A Walnut Grove, MN, homeowner had been aware that his basement was in trouble for a while. Over the years, the wall had begun to bow inward, and the water had begun to take on water during times of heavy rain. The homeowner knew that if he didn't do something about the problem wall, he could run the risk of compromising the structural integrity of the home or hindering the home from reaching its full resale value down the road. He began to look into MN foundation repair and quickly found our website. Impressed by our foundation repair jobs in his area, he decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. Eric completed a thorough inspection of the home, and when he was done, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Eric commended the homeowner on seeking a professional's input on the situation. He went on to say that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure on the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for the homeowner to observe cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. He also referred to the unwanted water in the space as an issue and stated that his recommendations would address both problems. Beginning with the damp basement, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished basement walls. It works to direct unwanted water entering through the wall downward and into a perimeter drain, which, in this case, Eric recommended to be our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation. This placement keeps the drain out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog, leading to a flooded basement. To perfect the waterproofing system, Eric recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump system in our lineup. Next, Eric moved on to the foundation repair. He recommended our PowerBrace wall repair system. This system is 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 adjustments. The PowerBrace system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical over time. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's comprehensive plan. and the two worked together to find the best day for the products to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team installed 126 ft of WaterGuard, 126 ft of CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 9 PowerBrace's throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his unhealthy basement has been transformed!
