Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Tim and Jerry A. of Wood Lake, MN had a gap between their garage floor and their garage wall. They needed to find a foundation repair contractor that could pull their wall toward their garage floor. They did their research and found our website. They scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist team. After our Design Specialist inspected their problem and proposed a solution, Tim and Jerry had a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed four of our wall anchors to pull the foundation wall closer to the garage floor. This system is installed by galvanized anchors, steel rods, and anchor plates, which provides the clamping pressure needed to bring the wall back to its natural position. Tim and Jerry were happy with the work that was done and couldn't believe that their wall was finally back to normal!

Amanda, from Appleton, MN was beginning to notice that one of her basement walls was beginning to bow, showing signs of wall failure. She was concerned that a bowing wall could mean trouble for the structural integrity of the home. She did research about companies in the area that could service her home and came across our website. She decided to give us a call, and we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the property to see what could be done. After he completed his walkthrough, he was able to recommend a solution to the problem. Ryan wanted to use our PowerBrace system to correct the failing wall. Ryan explained that this system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to strengthen walls over time. He went on to say that this system can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. 

Amanda agreed with Ryan's recommendations and work began a few weeks later. Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now Amanda can enjoy her basement without worries about her foundation being unstable. 

Jerry T. in Granite Falls, MN noticed that one of his garage foundation walls had a large exterior crack and it was bowing outward. He was concerned that the damaged wall was putting too much pressure on his foundation and did not want to get stuck in a situation where he had to replace the entire foundation. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we had one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, go to his home to develop the right solution unique to Jerry’s home. Jerry was pleased to hear that we could permanently secure his foundation by installing wall anchors, so he scheduled to have our foundation repair system installed.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling long metal rods into the soil underneath the garage floor and through the block foundation wall. They removed small rectangles of concrete from the garage floor where they would secure the other end of the rods. They screwed anchor plates on to the rods and tightened them as far as they would go. Lastly, they replaced the concrete in the garage and cleaned up. The process was quick and efficient. Jerry was very pleased with the results and is glad he chose to protect his foundation by having it permanently repaired.

A homeowner in Aneta, ND was concerned about the condition of her foundation. In her basement space she noticed one of the walls in the bedroom was tilted slightly inward and knew something was wrong. She went online to find a solution and searched, "basement wall repair contractors near me." The American Waterworks company website showed up on her screen and after looking through our services some more, she signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us. Our Design Specialist, James Nelson, arrived at the home to discuss things with the homeowner and give his recommendations. James informed her that we had a solution for her concerns by installing our GeoLock Wall Anchors. The homeowner was glad to hear that he had a plan for the walls to stop tilting and agreed for the products to be installed. When the day came, one of our Foremen and his crew went to the site to carry out the installation of the GeoLock Wall Anchors. The crew also left a GeoLock Tightening Kit for the anchors to be tightened over time and continue holding the wall in place. The homeowner was happy with the final results and glad she had contacted us to help her basement.
