Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Holmen, WI, was putting away storage when they noticed their foundation walls were beginning to bow inward. Worried this was a sign of a larger issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "bowing foundation repair near me," and several companies popped up. Only one company stood above the rest, American Waterworks, so the homeowner inspected our products and services. After seeing our eye-catching before and afters, the homeowner knew their project was in the best hands. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE, no-obligation estimate. Once the appointment was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dustin. A week later, Dustin arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began the thorough inspection of the foundation. During the inspection, Dustin confirmed the foundation was bowing inward. To prevent the bowing from continuing, Dustin recommended permanently stabilizing the bowing wall. Knowing this would provide them with a permanent solution, the homeowner knew this was their best plan of action. Once Dustin received the green light from the homeowner, he sent the plans to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logsitics team gave their final stamp of approval, then the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Arturo. A few months later, Arturo and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Arturo and his crew started by making sure the wall was ready for installation. Next, the crew went ahead and installed nine GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north foundation wall. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind. 

Cal and Marcy A. of Holmen, WI had a bowed and cracked foundation wall in their basement, causing them to worry about the structural integrity of their home. They got our wall anchors installed, which are the most versatile wall repair system that we provide for homeowners because they can be installed to stabilize walls with a variety of problems, such as bowing, tipping, and cracking walls. 

When installed, anchors are embedded in the soil outside of the foundation wall and are connected by a long, steel rod to a wall plate. This provides the necessary pressure against the inside of the foundation wall, which enables it to straighten back into its natural position. The anchors are then tightened with a torque wrench and can be tightened by the homeowner over time to ensure the system is sticking to its design.

Steve and Kerry S. of Coon Valley, WI had a big crack in the foundation wall of their garage, causing them to worry about its structural build and stability. They saw one of our advertisements in their local newspaper so they called our office line to schedule a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, examined their wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchor Repair System. Steve and Kerry got all of their questions answered about the product, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by digging holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. From the inside of the garage, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the house. On the ends of each rod, our team installed an anchor plate that holds the rod in place in the soil. Next, our team installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor at the end of each rod on the interior foundation. This process stops inward movement and cracking, and allows the foundation to move back into its original position. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team backfilled each hole outside of the home, compacted the soil, and ensured that the yard and garage looked neater than when they found it. Steve and Kerry were very satisfied with the work that was completed and had a great experience from appointment to installation!

A property manager in Eau Claire, WI, noticed stair-step cracking along the basement of the home and was concerned for its stability. Knowing the issue would need expert attention, the manager began looking into foundation repair contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the manager contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took note of the cracks along the basement walls as well as some areas beginning to cave in. Dustin recommended our GeoLock. GeoLock is our wall anchor system that can permanently stabilize foundation walls. Dustin explained that Geolock is installed by first digging a hole into the hard-packed soil that is several feet away from the foundation. An earth anchor is then placed in that hole and is attached to the interior wall. Both wall plates would be connected by a small steel pole, which would run through the ground. This system prevents basement walls from continuing to move and can be tightened to straighten walls over time. The homeowner happily agreed to Dustin's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Luis D., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed a total of 11 GeoLock anchors. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their workspace and equipment before leaving the home.
