Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was down in her basement one day when she noticed a puddle of standing water. She was immediately disconcerted, as she didn't know what this issue could mean for her space. She took to the internet to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me' and quickly found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. 

When Chuck arrived, he was directed to the basement, and he began his inspection. After concluding, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Chuck began by saying that the homeowner did the right thing by contacting a specialist. He explained that leaky basement issues do not get better with time they get worse and are more costly to fix.  Chuck first wanted to use our WaterGuard system, a unique French drain that gets installed around the perimeter of the basement, below the basement floor, but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. He explained that this system works to collect water coming up through holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the proper disposal site. Chuck's second recommendation, our SuperSump sump pump, is an economical yet effective solution for ridding your basement of water and the perfect solution to finish off Chuck's plan for the basement. The homeowner was satisfied with Chuck's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Lane S, and his team were headed to the home. After a long day, the team had successfully placed 40ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her water intrusion issue has been solved!

Jim Grinder in Eau Claire, WI had a bowing foundation wall that was concerning him. He felt it was important to have a foundation repair expert take a look at it, so he gave American Waterworks a call. One of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, went to Jim’s home to provide him with a free onsite estimate. Chad recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize his wall. Jim was pleased with the proposal that Chad put together, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling holes into the brick wall and inserting long metal rods that go into the soil outside of the home. Then, the rod is secured with anchors on each end. Once they tightened the anchors, the wall started to straighten. The anchors can continue to be tightened over time, to continue straightening the wall. Jim’s wall in now secure because of the wall anchor installation, and he has confidence that he chose the right company because our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty.
