A homeowner in Kanawha, IA, was worried their foundation crack was going to cause serious issues to their home. Concerned this could cause structural damage to their home, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair near Kanawha, IA. The homeowner looked into "fix basements in Iowa" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our services, the homeowner was impressed with our work. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to begin the detailed inspection. Brady traveled to the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his investigation, Brady determined the north wall was struggling the most and required stabilization. Brady was able to come up with a solution that would permanently stabilize the wall, so he presented his proposal to the homeowner. Once the homeowner heard the proposal, they knew it was the best option for their home. Brady sent the proposal to our office to receive the final stamp of approval. After our Logistics team approved the plans, they scheduled it with our Foreman, Chris, and his crew. As soon as they received the plans, Chris and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Chris and his crew installed 12 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The crew secured the interior and exterior anchors to ensure the wall would stay stable. Once all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is happy to repair your struggling foundation walls. 

A homeowner in Adrian, MN became concerned when she noticed certain areas of her floors starting to sag. She was unaware of how long the problem had been building up and wanted to contact someone that could help her find a solution before it was too late. She found the American Waterworks website online and our FREE no obligation estimate service caught her eye. She scheduled an appointment and was met a few weeks later by Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric informed her that over time a floor may start sinking due to settling or expansive soils. He explained that by installing our SmartJack floor support system, her floors would stop settling and even raise back up to where it was originally. She agreed to the plans and Eric sent them over to our Foreman, Raul Barroso and his crew. When they arrived at the house, they prepped the area and carefully installed the SmartJacks. The heavy-duty rods allowed for adjustments and made a custom fit for the homeowner's house. She was relieved that the issue was stopped and that her floors no longer had a sinking problem.
