Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Winona, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement wall for some time now. He had been aware of a large crack running the length of one of the walls and was ready to find a solution. He took to the internet to search for 'structural foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He was impressed with the other foundation repair jobs we had completed in his area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, was headed out to the home.

Michel's inspection was scheduled for 3 hours, during which time he inspected the basement, the basement walls, and the exterior of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations and answer any questions he had. Michel began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of a wall exceeds what it can withstand, homeowners will commonly see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, and/or tiling inward at the top. Michel reassured the homeowner that while the diagnosis might seem a bit scary, he had just the solution to fix the problem: our PowerBrace system. Michel explained that these steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. Over time, the PowerBraces can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner loved the idea of having a system that could move through the home's various stages of life and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team successfully installed 2 PowerBraces on the problem wall, restoring our customer's trust in her home!

Bethany and Cheryl W. of Stockton, MN had sagging floors in their basement, making them worry about the weight and stability of their home. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to examine the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Bethany and Cheryl felt comfortable with Rick's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team installed 13 of our 7-foot-tall SmartJacks in the basement to lift and stabilize the sagging floor. Our SmartJacks are made to hold large loads and the brackets can be tightened overtime to make sure they continue to work properly. Bethany and Cheryl were both thrilled with the outcome and couldn't believe the project only took one day. They were provided with a remarkable experience and their peace of mind was restored! 

John R. of Winona, MN was in need of a service call with one of our technicians. Our service technician, Darin, went to his home and fixed the problems that he was experiencing. While Darin was there, he noticed horizontal cracks throughout John's foundation so Darin told him about our PowerBrace System which is a repair system that stabilizes failing basement walls and provides the potential to straighten them over time. John was confident in our PowerBraces and their warranty, so he went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team installed our PowerBraces around the basement wall perimeter. The installation only took one day and was completed in a timely manner. Our PowerBraces don't only stabilize the wall. They also give the basement a neat appearance and it can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure everything is working properly. John was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored knowing his basement walls wouldn't crack anymore!

Gary M. of Winona, MN had an inward bowing wall in his basement and he wanted to get it repaired before it got too late. He had previous work done by American Waterworks and had a good experience, so he decided to have work done by us again.

Gary moved forward with our project and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Carla C.'s foundation wall was cracking horizontally and bowing slightly. She went on Google, hoping to find a local contractor that could help her. She came across American Waterworks and our foundation repair products, so she scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Carla's house, inspected the foundation wall, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System. Carla was comfortable and confident with Mac's presentation, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production crew installed five of our wall anchors, which are heavy-duty galvanized earth anchors that are embedded into stable soil outside of the foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a long, steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the wall. This system provides the potential to straighten the wall back to its natural position. To complete the project, our Foreman gave a thorough walkthrough with Carla, ensuring she was happy and comfortable with the final product!
