Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Christina M. in Forest City, IA noticed some cracking and bowing of her basement wall and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to inspect her home and provide her with the best solution. Ryan developed a thorough, unique proposal to permanently restore her foundation. Christina approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. Wall anchors should be tightened over time to continue the process of straightening the damaged wall. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing completely and now Christina’s peace of mind is restored knowing her foundation is permanently stabilized.

Bill L. in Nicollet, MN noticed some cracking in his basement wall that was getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. He was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. After doing some research online, he came across our website and was happy to learn that we have been restoring foundations for over 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, to evaluate the situation and propose the best, cost-effective solution. He was impressed with our products and Eric’s presentation, and he chose to move forward with the project. 

Using wall anchors, our production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. In order to straighten the wall, they had to dig out the soil pushing against the foundation. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. This process gradually straightened the foundation wall, and permanently secured it. Bill was pleased with the entire process and is glad he made the investment to restore the value of his home! 

Matt and Michelle W. of Easton, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks after being referred by another customer. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, came to their home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Matt and Michelle were confident with Ben's proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production team dug seven holes outside of the home and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors. To do this, they inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall, and tightened an anchor on the ends of each rod. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are designed to pull the walls back into their natural position. To complete the project, Rene and his team back filled the holes and replaced the soil. Matt and Michelle were happy with the outcome and were amazed at how quick the work was completed! 

A homeowner in Osakis, MN, noticed their walls were cracked and bowing inwards. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. After looking into "wall anchor system installation near me", one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeonwer called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Adam. A few days later, Adam arrived at the home and began a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Adam confirmed that the wall was bowing due to pressure issues. To prevent this issue from worsening, Adam recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Adam to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew. Jesus and his crew promptly arrived at the home and began the installation. Once they were ready, Jesus and his crew installed 11 GeoLock Wall Anchors on the south wall. After they secured all 11 GeoLock Anchors, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement walls are secure. 

If your foundation walls are bowing or showing signs of inward movement, repair work is needed. These signs are showing that your walls are weakening and these problems can create serious damage. These walls move inward due to expansive soils and pressure on the walls from the outside.
