Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Derek G. in Dawson, MN was concerned about his wet basement and cracked foundation walls. He had inward bowing walls and water was seeping through. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to his home to evaluate the situation. Derek approved of the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date.

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. They installed 22 PowerBraces and secured them to the walls before laying the WaterGuard drainage system. Once the WaterGuard was laid, they installed our SuperSump and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, filled back the gaps in the concrete with rock, and replaced the concrete. The installation took a couple of days to complete, but Derek is now confident in the stability of his home, and he has peace of mind that his basement will remain dry. 

A male resident of Dawson, MN had a cracked and inward bowing foundation wall. He came across our booth at the IDEAg Farm Fest home show, where he spoke to our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the resident's house, carefully inspected their cracked foundation wall, and proposed our CarbonAmor Reinforcing Strips, which is a foundation repair system that strengthens and stabilizes cracked or bowed foundation walls. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed seven of our CarbonArmor Strips. This system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips and is ten times stronger than steel. The male resident was very happy with the work that was done and had a wonderful experience from start to finish!

Derek and Hailey of Dawson, MN had inward bowing walls and water leaking into their basement. They did some research on local contractors and came across American Waterworks. They saw that we provide FREE, no-obligation estimates, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home, carefully inspected their bowing walls and water leaks, and determined a solution that would solve their problem. Derek and Hailey were confident in Ryan's proposal of our basement waterproofing and foundation repair products, so they signed the proposal and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew started the process by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is specifically designed to prevent water clogs and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire basement wall perimeter. The purpose of this is to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a bright appearance. Lastly, Jose and his team installed our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter over the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are designed to repair foundation walls over time and fix the inward bow. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the space was neat and clean.

Tyson C. in Walnut Grove, MN had three cracked walls in his basement. They had just started bowing and he knew it was only going to get worse. He heard an advertisement for American Waterworks on the radio and was happy to learn that we have successfully been repairing foundations for many years. He decided to give us a call for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation problem and design a solution. Tyson was pleased with the proposal we developed, so he decided to move forward with having us repair his foundation. 

Our production team installed 26 wall anchors along the three walls. Rods are drilled through the brick walls and into the soil. Then, the anchors are secured with plates on each end of the rod. Once we tightened the anchors, Tyson was able to see a dramatic change in the stability of his walls. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Tyson can rest easy knowing this foundation will always be secure.

Steve and Jane R. of Hanley Falls, MN had several cracked foundation walls in their basement, causing them to worry about the stability of their home. They found us in the phone book and called to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to their house to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Steve and Jane were confident in Jeremy's proposal, so they scheduled an isntallation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew dug seven holes in the backyard and installed a long rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall. Our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors on each rod, made to stabilize and straighten the walls into their natural position. Juan and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Steve and Jane were thrilled with the outcome and their peace of mind was restored!
