Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

John K. of Ottertail, MN had sagging floors going into his crawl space and the doors in his home were sticking to the door frame when he tried to open and close them. He realized he was in need of foundation repair. He came across American Waterworks and got a FREE inspection and estimate from our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole proposed our SmartJack System, which is designed to restore the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists. He was confident in Kole's proposal, so he signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production crew installed four of our SmartJacks, ensuring the floor was stable. John was happy with the repairs that were done and grateful we could help him with his problem! 

Whether it be foundation repair, basement waterproofing, or crawl space repair/encapsulation, American Waterworks can help you!

Andy B. had a sinking deck, causing him to worry about the value of his home. He heard about American Waterworks so he called our office and scheduled a FREE inspection and quote. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Andy's home, inspected his sinking deck, and proposed our Helical Deck Piers, which are designed to shift the weight of the deck onto the strong supporting piers. Andy was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew installed six of our Helical Deck Piers to fix the entire property. The project took about two days and Andy's peace of mind was greatly restored, knowing he no longer had to worry about the stability of his deck foundation!

Josh from Henning, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his foundation was showing signs of sinkage. Josh could see visible cracking and wanted to get ahead of the issue before it could create a bigger problem. After doing research about companies providing the services he needed, he came across our website. He called our office and we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he informed Josh that he was experiencing sinkage because of the soil under his home. He recommended the use of our helical pier on the section of the sinking foundation. He explained that our helical piers are the ideal solution for the small section of the foundation. Josh agreed and work began shortly after. 

A few weeks later our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew were able to install 9 of our helical piers around the foundation of the home. When the job was complete Josh was happy to know his sinking foundation was a worry of the past. 

A homeowner from Sauk Centre, MN, was growing more worried about his basement as the days passed. He had noticed that the floor above his basement was beginning to sag. He assumed this was a structural concern with the basement, and decided to find a foundation repair company in the area to consult with. When he found our website, he was impressed with other foundation repair jobs we had completed and decided to claim his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, Darin S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Darin arrived, he was directed to the basement to begin his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Darin explained that the sagging floor could be due to inadequate or shifting supports beneath the floor joists or lumber deterioration due to mold and rot, but that he had a solution. Darin recommended our SmartJack support system, a system that provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. The system can also be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked Darin's approach to the problem and signed up for the project on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team effortlessly installed 6 SmartJacks in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can put his foundation worries in the past!

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, grew concerned about the large growing crack along their west wall. Knowing it was time to have a professional investigate the status of the wall, the homeowner began looking through their options. The homeowners were scrolling through Facebook when they came across one of our digital advertisements. Interested, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to our website. The homeowner saw our list of services and was impressed by our quality of service. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner decided to sign up for theirs. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Upon Eric's arrival, he inspected the status of their basement. Eric discovered that the wall showed early signs of failure due to hydrostatic pressure. To stop the failure, Eric suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. The homeowner agreed and the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home and began unloading their materials to begin the stabilization. The crew installed eight GeoLock anchors, our innovative wall anchor system, to the interior west wall. Along with the GeoLocks, the crew included a tightening kit. This kit will allow the walls to be straightened over time. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased to know their wall was no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide reassurance to its customers.
