Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was worried about his basement. One of his foundation walls had a large crack running lengthwise on the wall. He was worried that if he let the issue worsen, it might compromise the structural integrity of the home. He decided to look for foundation repair Wisconsin, and quickly found our website. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was out at the home. 

After Mac concluded his estimate inspection, he met with the homeowner and informed him that he was experiencing foundation issues because the wall was facing pressure from the side. Foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side.  When the pressure becomes too much for the wall to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac went on to reassure the homeowner that there was a solution: our GeoLock anchors. This innovative system counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with Mac's solution and scheduled the job to be installed the following month. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman and his team successfully installed 7+ GeoLock anchors in the space Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his basement walls aren't going anywhere!

A customer from La Crosse, WI got in touch with us when they began to notice that their basement wall was beginning to show the first signs of wall failure. Our customer knew that if she left the issue unresolved, she would run the risk of severely compromising the structural integrity of the home. When she called in, she used her FREE estimate to have our Design Specialist, Rick W. out to her property to do a thorough inspection of the issue. After Rick completed his walkthrough, he was able to make some recommendations as to how we could help. He recommended our GeoLock Channel Anchor system to fix the wall. He explained that this warrantied solution includes a complete wall anchor system and a channel anchor that mounts on your foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection, by connecting to an earth anchor embedded deep in the soil. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris N. and his crew installed several anchors throughout the basement with no hassle. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that they could go back to enjoying their home without worrying of their foundation failing!

Julianne S. of La Crosse, WI had water leaking through the cracks of her foundation. She saw American Waterworks at the La Crosse County Fair, so she called our office and got some more information. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck inspected Julianne's basement, determined a plan, and proposed it to her. She was comfortable with Chuck's approach and presentation, so she signed his contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul A, and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that guides water to the sump pump and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is a protective blanket that saves money on energy bills, prevents water from invading the basement, and brings more light to the basement. Lastly, our team installed our Wall Anchor System, which is a rod-anchor installation that stabilizes foundation walls and straightens them over time. Julianne was very happy with the job and gave an A+ to Raul and his crew!

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!
