Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A Hutchinson, MN, couple got in touch with us when they noticed that stair-step cracks were forming on their basement walls. Worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home, they began the search for MN foundation repair companies. When they found our website, they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Lance S, headed out to their home to evaluate the issues. 

Once Lance completed his walkthrough, he informed the homeowners that American Waterworks could address the failing foundation with the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. Lance 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 couple liked the sound of having a system that could be stabilized as time goes on, and decided to schedule the project for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team ended up installing 14 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the lower level of the home. Now our customers can rest easy knowing their foundation issues have been addressed!

Teresa T. of Grand Forks, ND had sagging floors falling into the crawl space of her home, causing her to worry about the structural build and strength of her home. She got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home, thoroughly inspected the sagging floors, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. Ian proposed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

Brian K. of Cosmos, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement, causing him to worry about the structural build and stability of his home. He went on Google and searched for foundation repair in his service area. He came across American Waterworks and saw that we provide FREE Estimates. He called our office line and scheduled an estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problem, and came up with a solution that worked for him. Brian got all of his questions answered and felt confident in Shane's proposal of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by digging 16 small holes around the house beyond the foundation. Our team inserted a long, medal rod from the inside of the basement, through the foundation wall, to each hole outside of the home. At the end of each rod outside, Juan and his crew screwed on and tightened an anchor plate, which holds it in place in the soil. Then, our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod inside of the home, stabilizing and straightening the foundation wall. To complete the project, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and made sure the yard looked neater than when they found it. Brian was impressed with the labor and work involved, and was happy with the repairs that were made!
