Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Steve O., a resident in Eau Claire, WI, had cracked foundation walls, causing him to worry about the stability of his home and the cost of replacement. Thankfully, he heard about American Waterworks and our foundation repair products, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad went to his home, carefully inspected his foundation wall, and drew up a solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Steve was confident with the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the installation and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his production team began the project by digging small holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. From the inside of the foundation, our team inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holes the rod in place underground. From inside the foundation, our team installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the ends of each rod to stabilize the foundation wall. This combination allows the wall to straighten itself out over time and because of the way our anchor system is designed, it can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure it is still doing its job. To complete the work, our team backfilled each hole beyond the foundation and compacted the soil. Steve was happy with the work that was done and had a good experience!

She went online and researched foundation repair companies that perform work in her service area. She came across American Waterworks, so she called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by digging two holes outside beyond the foundation and inserted two long, metal rods from the inside of the foundation to each hole outside of the home. At the end of each rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holds the rod in place. Inside of the foundation, our team installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor, which stabilizes the wall. The combination of the anchor plate, rod, and wall anchor ensures that the wall will straighten back into its normal position. To complete the project, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard looked neater than when they came.
