Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Robin P. of La Crosse, WI had a deteriorating foundation wall, causing her to worry about the structure of her home. She got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to Robin's house, carefully inspected their foundation, and determined a solution that would work for her and her needs. Robin was confident in Rick's proposal of our Wall Recovery System, so they got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew sprayed our Wall Recovery System around the entire foundation wall perimeter, which is a special spray-on solution that is company-based and rebuilds deteriorating foundation walls. Robin was thrilled with the project and was shocked by how quick it took!

A homeowner from Onalaska, WI, had been keeping an eye on his failing garage wall for some time. Over the years, the blocks had begun to separate, causing the wall to bow inward. The homeowner was worried about the structural integrity of the structure and decided to find a foundation specialist in WI to help. When he found American Waterworks, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, headed out to the home. 

After Michel finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. When the side pressure on the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, and/or tilting inward at the top. Michel went on to say that he had the perfect solution: our GeoLock anchors. He explained that these innovative anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall to connect the two anchors, wall anchors can even be used to straight walls in many cases. The homeowner needed some time to think about Michel's proposal but eventually signed on for the job. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel R, and his team worked tirelessly to install 4 of our GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his garage is stable!

Maryann and John A. of Onalaska, WI had a damp crawl space with sagging floors. One of their local contractors referred American Waterworks, so they called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck inspected their crawl space and proposed a solution that would benefit their home repair needs. Maryann and John were confident and comfortable with Chuck's proposal and presentation, so they moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew started the project by installing our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier which prevents mold, mildew, and pests, and also saves money on energy costs because of its ability to keep the space warm. Next, our crew installed our SmartJacks which are steel, galvanized beams that support and stabilize sagging floor joists.

A homeowner from Holmen, WI, was awaiting an American Waterworks Service Technician out to his home to perform an annual maintenance on a system we had placed a few years back. The homeowner had new concerns for his home and decided to talk to our Service Technician, Kyle H, about them. When Kyle arrived, the homeowner explained that his basement wall was showing signs of cracking, and he was concerned that it could mean something worse for his home. Kyle dedicated extra time to the homeowner's concerns, and when he finished his inspection and annual maintenance, he met back up with the homeowner to discuss the wall. Kyle explained that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure being exerted on the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to observe cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, and/or tilting inward at the top. Kyle followed up, saying that while the situation seemed daunting, he had the fix. Kyle urged the homeowner to consider installing our GeoLock wall anchors, a system of heavy-duty galvanized earth anchors that counteract the pressure being exerted on the wall by anchoring it to the undisturbed soil beyond the home's foundation, permanently stabilizing basement walls, offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner liked Kyle's recommendation and decided to schedule the project. 

Several months later, our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team were headed out to the home. Our team effortlessly installed 10 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his failing foundation won't be shifting any time soon!
