Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Becky D. of Marshall, MN had leaking basement walls and floors, as well as a sagging floor. She got in contact with our office staff and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric. Eric went to Becky's home to inspect the problems and determine a solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor System and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier to repair the water leaks and our SmartJack System to straighten the sagging floor. Becky was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. Our crew installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain in the trench and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system designed to prevent mud clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. Our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier is designed to prevent moisture and humidity, cover any holes or divots in the foundation, and brightens the basement. Lastly, Jose and his crew installed our SmartJacks to restore the sagging floors. Our SmartJacks support sagging and undersized beams, restoring the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Becky was happy with the work, and was grateful we could help her with her home repair needs! 

A homeowner in Okabena, MN, noticed the slight crack on their wall had grown tremendously. Worried this could lead to more serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner looked into "wall anchor system installation near me", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. After reviewing our impressive reviews, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Eric. A few days later, Eric arrived at the home and began a thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Eric confirmed that several walls were beginning to bow. To prevent this issue from worsening, Eric recommended securing GeoLock Wall Anchors on these damaged walls. The homeowner agreed and worked with Eric to find the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Raul and his crew ensured the walls were ready for the GeoLock Wall Anchor installation. Next, the crew secured 15 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the bowing walls. After all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind knowing their walls are no longer bowing. 

In Odessa, MN, a homeowner had noticed that signs of their foundation walls shifting. Knowing that the issue would persist and lead to wall failure without a long-term solution, the homeowner knew it was time to schedule an estimate with American Waterworks. Since we had already done their basement waterproofing, the homeowner was confident in our team and decided to move forward with us again. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan J., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took close measurements to determine how much the walls had shifted and noted the areas that needed stabilizing. Dylan recommended installing GeoLocks, our wall anchor system that is designed to permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the pressure to stable soil away from the foundation. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, earth anchors are placed and connected to the interior wall plate using a small steel pole. Once these are connected and tightened, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home. Our crew was able to successfully install 6 GeoLocks!

Larry G. in Heron Lake, MN had two cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was worried about the pressure it was putting on his foundation and the damage it could cause, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate.

After meeting with one of our Design Specialists, he chose to have wall anchors installed, which is one of our foundation repair products. Our production crew started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. They secured each end of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go, which permanently secured the wall. Wall anchors also provide the possibility for the wall to straighten over time. Larry was pleased with the installation and is glad he chose American Waterworks to permanently repair his foundation!
