Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ken and Margaret F.'s foundation wall was bowing in Glencoe, MN. Their realtor recommended American Waterworks for the repairs. They got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, inspected their foundation wall, and determined our Wall Anchor System for the repairs. Ken and Margaret were confident in our proposal, so they went ahead with the repairs. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed 21 of our anchors. This system is earth anchors that are embedded into the stable soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides the clamping pressure against the foundation wall to straighten it. This system is the most versatile foundation repair method that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve various problems. Ken and Margaret were happy with the work and had a remarkable experience.

Jim, a Grey Eagle, MN homeowner, had bowing walls in his garage that needed stabilizing. After looking at what American Waterworks does, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. After thoroughly examining, Shane explained that water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge, or tilt. Shane suggested that Jim invest in Power Braces to permanently stabilize the wall and SmartJacks to restore and straighten sagging floor joists to combat this. Jim was confident in Shane's proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our crew, led by Foreman Matthew, headed to the property shortly after and got to work. First, they installed 1 7'10' SmartJacks. The SmartJack system restores stability and straightens sagging floor joists, which can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. Next, the team installed 11 of our PowerBraces to repair the failing wall. Our PowerBraces are designed to straighten walls and can be tightened by the homeowner over time to ensure the walls stay straight. Since this system has a special zinc coating, corrosion is not an issue. Our PowerBraces can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. It installs quickly in the home, immediately halting the inward movement of foundation walls. Jim was impressed with the project's efficiency and quality of work, and he was glad to know that his bowing wall was no longer an issue.

A homeowner in Grey Eagle, MN had noticed signs of their foundation walls shifting and was concerned for the stability of their home. Knowing the issue needs expert attention, the homeowner began searching for foundation repair in the area and found our website. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took note of the areas where wall cracks were present and the walls have shifted. After reporting the findings to the homeowner, Daniel created a proposal. In that proposal, Daniel recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchoring system to permanently stabilize the walls. The homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and scheduled the installation date.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After successfully installing 5 GeoLock anchors, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A concerned customer enlisted our services when she began to notice one of the walls in her basement beginning to crack and bow. Our Design Specialist, Richie, recommended she have our PowerBrace system installed to add further stabilization to the foundation of the house. The Foreman on the project, Cameron, installed the system. Our PowerBrace system is an adjustable steel beam that can be tightened over time, ensuring that your foundation will remain stable and strong. Now our customer has peace of mind because she knows that her PowerBrace system will be intact for a long time!

Mark H. of New York Mills, MN had cracks going down his foundation wall, and he wanted to get them fixed before it got any worse. He saw American Waterworks on Facebook so he got in contact with our staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to Mark's home, carefully inspected the wall, and proposed our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System. Mark was confident in the system and its warranty, so he went ahead with the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 15 of our CarbonArmor to fix and repair the cracks. Our CarbonArmor is 10 times stronger than steel and is installed with epoxy resin, which absorbs the pressure and helps reinforce the wall. Mark was thrilled with the work that was done and was excited to see the transformation!
