Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jolyn N. in Willmar, MN was concerned about a large crack in her foundation and water seeping into her basement. After being referred to our company, we sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to complete a FREE estimate. Jolyn was happy with the solution Jeremy provided, and she decided to move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew started installing our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the walls. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that water will be properly discharged from her basement and that it will remain a dry and functional space. 

Then, our crew installed 16 Geo-Lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation by drilling small holes through the block into the soil surrounding the home. They dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to stabilize the walls and to halt any further movement. The installation took two days to complete, and Jolyn’s peace of mind has been restored knowing that her foundation is permanently secure!

Hilary N. of Glenwood, MN had water in her basement and cracked foundation walls. She had work done by American Waterworks before, so she had our team perform a FREE inspection. After a detailed analysis, Hilary was confident in the proposal and presentation, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production crew started the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain System, which serves as a basement drainage system, while preventing wall clogs and collecting water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew replaced Hilary's pre-existing sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides tripled protection and solves all three water problems in one unit. Then, our Foreman and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and gives the basement a clean, neat appearance. Lastly, our team installed our Wall Anchor System to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Hilary had a great experience and gave us a five-star rating on google!

Gary, from Lake Lillian, MN, began to notice a bow in the foundation walls of his lake home. The bowing of the wall resulted in cracks within the foundation, allowing water to seep through and causing a wet basement. Gary decided to call  American Waterworks and claim his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a complete home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed to the home. He began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help Gary not only solve his issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Gary invest in our PowerBrace Wall System. Gary agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew began strategically placing PowerBraces around the basement, inserting 5 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the home's support beams and the concrete on which the house lies. The team also inserted 6 GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation; the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Now Gary lives worry-free, and the foundation of his lake home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!!
