Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Carroll N. in New Ulm, MN had a cracked and bowing foundation wall that she was concerned about. She was worried about the stress it was putting on her foundation, so she called American Waterworks to have a foundation repair expert look at it. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to provide her with a free estimate. After inspecting her wall, Jeremy recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently secure the foundation wall. Carroll agreed and like the proposal that he developed, so she scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 3 wall anchors through the brick wall and underneath the driveway. They secured the anchors and the wall began to straighten and stabilize. Our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Carroll has peace of mind that her foundation wall will permanently remain secure.

Steven T. of Garfield, MN had uneven floors throughout his crawl space, causing him to worry about the stability and safety of his home. He found American Waterworks after doing some research and liked what he saw, so he scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Steven's home, carefully inspected the uneven floors, and determined the proposal of our Crawl Space Support SmartJack Posts. Steven was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed seven of our SmartJacks, which are made to stabilize and straighten sloping or springy floors. They can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds and they are galvanized (resistance to corrosion). Steven was happy with the work that was completed and had a great experience from start to finish.

Linda M. in Gibbon, MN had some cracks in her basement walls that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She started researching foundation repair contractors and was glad to run into our booth at the New Ulm Home and Health Show. She set up an appointment to have our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, evaluate the situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation walls, our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew installed 6 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and 3 PowerBraces along the basement walls. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Linda is happy she chose to permanently stabilize her home, and her peace of mind has been restored! 

A homeowner from Amboy, MN got in touch with us when he began to notice that his basement walls were seemingly beginning to tilt inward. The homeowner knew that foundation issues aren't something to wait to fix, so he took advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate for the issue. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric, headed out to the property to conduct his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that he was right to contact us because the walls were indeed beginning to display signs of failure. He informed the homeowner that their best line of defense against complete failure was our GeoLock Wall Anchors. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

After our team had finished the installation, they placed 10 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Once the work was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that their foundation was no longer in trouble!
