Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Scott from Bangor, WI had severe cracks in his foundation and his basement walls were caving in, causing Scott to worry about the structural integrity of his barn. This issue with his foundation caused water to enter the farm's basement, making the soil wet and unstable for the barn. Scott then got in contact with the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus. Dustin went to his farm and did a thorough inspection and get a proper diagnosis of the situation to help Scott. Once the situation was carefully inspected, Dustin proposed that the solution for the damaged wall was the installation of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Scott was confident in the proposal and scheduled an installation date right away. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team then began the project by stabilizing the wall to prevent the wall from further caving in during the process of installation. The production crew then drilled 6 holes through the foundation into the hard-packed soil to install the six GeoLocks that are needed. At the end of each rod was a GeoLock Anchor which helps stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. Once the GeoLocks had been placed and secured, the production team then dug the soil to expose the exterior of the failing wall and be able to waterproof the failing wall to prevent water from seeping through. Once finished with this process. the production team then patched and sealed the cracks on the failing wall. 

Scott was very satisfied with the work done and was not worried that the foundation of his barn would cave in!!

Brian T. of New Auburn, WI was having issues in his crawl space, causing him to worry about the value of his home. He saw one of our commercials on television, so he got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck Haldeman. Chuck went to Brian's home, carefully inspected his crawl space, and drew up a solution that would fulfill Brian's wants and needs as a homeowner. Brian was confident in Chuck's proposal and presentation, so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew started the installation by installing our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, which prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. Along with protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space is inhospitable to termites, cockroaches, and other pests that need excess moisture to survive. By sealing the crawl space, it also keeps away odors that would rise up through the floor and into your home. Next, our team installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams and restores the stability of sagging floor joists. In this case, our vapor barrier and SmartJacks were compatible, allowing Brian to address the crawl space mold and humidity problems while also repairing the structural issue. Brian was thrilled with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!
