Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ryan and Rachel W. of Arco, MN had a bowing foundation wall, causing them to worry about the safety and stability of their house. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks on Google. After looking through our services, Ryan and Rachel got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist inspected their foundation wall and determined the causes of why their wall was bowing inward, so he proposed our Wall Anchor Repair System. Our wall anchors stabilize foundation walls and bring them back to their original position. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside to the outside to where the holes were dug. Our team screwed on and tightened an anchor to the end of each rod, extending out to the compacted soil beyond their home, anchored themselves there, and braced the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard was neater than when they found it. 

At American Waterworks, we do more than just foundation repair. We also perform services in basement waterproofing, radon testing/mitigation, crawl space repair/encapsulation, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us today or click HERE to request your free estimate! 

A homeowner in Fargo, ND, saw the walls in their basement were beginning to crack. Worried about the long-term damages, the homeowner began looking into professional repair services near them. After doing some searching, the homeowner came across our five-star ratings and stellar reviews. Impressed by our previous work, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Kole, one of our Design Specialists. After Kole arrived at the home, he greeted the homeowners and began the thorough inspection. Kole completed the inspection and was able to come up with a solution for the homeowner. After he presented his plan to the homeowner, they agreed and the plans were sent to the office for approval. Once they were approved by the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew. Emmanuel and his crew arrived at the home and started the project. First, the crew installed eight GeoLock Wall Anchors along the North and West wall. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing the two PowerBraces on the North wall. After the PowerBraces were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to assist their homeowner in stabilizing their uneven foundation. 

In Worthington, MN, a homeowner noticed multiple cracks forming along their foundation walls. Concerned that it would continue and eventually lead to wall failure, the homeowner was determined to find a long-term solution. After looking through a list of foundation repair contractors in the area, the homeowner chose to schedule their FREE estimate with us because of our reviews.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kevin B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he used our advanced tools to see how far the foundation has shifted and determined the areas that needed to be stabilized. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Kevin began working on a detailed solution. He recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that redirects pressure against the foundation to stable soil. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 6 GeoLock anchors to stabilize the foundation.

Ray L. in Worthington, MN was concerned about two large cracks from the top of the foundation to the bottom on one wall in his home. While researching foundation repair options, he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to his home to inspect the foundation and provide Ray with a solution. 

Ray was happy with Dylan’s proposal and the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System that we offer. He set a date with our production crew to install the adjustable steel I-beam system which stabilized the tilting wall and over time will force the wall sections back to their original position. The PowerBraces do not require outside excavation, so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. It’s anti-corrosion zinc coating will keep them looking like new for decades to come!

John S. of Worthington, MN had a bucking foundation wall, causing water to leak through it and make his basement wet. He went online and saw that American Waterworks provides free estimates. He called our office line and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to his house, carefully inspected his problems, and drew out a solution that worked for him and his needs. John was comfortable with the proposal and felt confident in our products, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity and acts as an extra wall protectant. Lastly, our Foreman and his crew installed our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter on top of the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls, providing the potential to straighten them over time. To complete the installation, our production team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. John was ecstatic with the repairs and had a great experience with our team from start to finish!
