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!
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!
