Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, knew it was time to repair their cracked and damaged walls. Knowing they could not repair it themselves, the homeowner began searching for a stabilizing solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked wall repair near Clear Lake, IA" and the homeowner's eye was caught by our high ratings and reviews. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan, to begin his thorough investigation. Ryan took a close look at the wall and noticed the walls were beginning to bow inward. To stop the bowing from continuing, Ryan recommended installing 11 GeoLock Wall Anchors throughout the walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Ryan passed the proposal off to our Logisitcs team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team finalized the plans, and then it was passed along to our Foreman, Matt, and his crew to begin. Matt and his crew traveled to Clear Lake and began the GeoLock installation. The crew installed all 11 GeoLocks on the cracked and bowing foundation. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, Matt and his crew were able to clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its homeowners in permanently stabilizing their foundations.

Bryan H. of Clear Lake, IA had a cracked foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about further bowing or cracking. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Bryan understood its design and got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the project by digging three small holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. In the basement, Jesus and his crew inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside, and tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes a foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the compact soil and pulling it back to its original position. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. To complete the installation, Jesus and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Bryan said he was happy with the project! 

Susan B. of Clear Lake, IA had sagging floor joists and water leaking into her crawl space, and it made her worry about the structural build of her home. She did research online and came across American Waterworks. She called our office line to learn more information and request a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected her crawl space, and drew out a detailed plan. Susan was comfortable with the presentation and proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by installing our drainage matting. The purpose of drainage matting is to direct the water flooding the crawl space into the perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump system. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space perimeter. Our Foamax is a foam insulation that reduces moisture condensation, provides comfort, and makes the walls look nice and bright. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the drainage matting. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is made to stop moisture from passing through the walls and floors. Lastly, Juan and his team installed our crawl space SmartJacks, which provides solid support for sagging beams and restores the stability in a crawl space. Susan had a remarkable experience!

Not sure who to work with, the homeowner asked some friends for recommendations. Several of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks.
