Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ann and John B. of New Prague, MN had bowing and cracked walls in their basement that needed to be reinforced. Our office staff set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, examined their foundation wall, and came up with a solution. Ann and John were confident in Eric's design of our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team started the installation by cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion and saturated the masonry with epoxy. Then, our team installed 10 of our CarbonArmor strips and coated it with more epoxy to adhere the strips to the wall and to enhance each strip's strength. Ann and John were happy and impressed by how quickly the project went! 

A male homeowner in New Prague, MN had a cracked foundation wall that was allowing water into the basement. He contacted American Waterworks and had our team install our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our PowerBraces. Our CleanSpace is a vapor protectant that prevents water from seeping in and saves money on energy costs. Our PowerBraces are designed to stabilize and straighten foundation walls over time. Once the project was completed, our Foreman provided the homeowner with a thorough walkthrough of the project and ensured all of his expectations were met!

A homeowner in Maple Lake, MN, found that their foundation walls had several cracks throughout the cement blocks. Knowing this could be a sign of a serious issue, the homeowner wanted a professional to come to their home to perform an inspection. The homeowner heard of a home show going on in their area and decided to check it out. When they were there, the homeowner saw our booth and decided to chat with our Design Specialist, Shane. After talking with Shane, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for Shane's arrival. Shane began his inspection of the foundation and discovered that the wall was showing signs of progressing wall failure. Shane recommended the walls be permanently stabilized and the homeowner agreed. The plans were then directed to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the wall stabilization. First, the crew made sure the walls were prepared for the PowerBrace installation. Then, the crew installed four PowerBraces along the southeast wall and three on the southwest wall. In addition to the PowerBraces, the homeowner asked that the tightening kit be included, so they can gradually straighten the walls over time. Once the PowerBraces were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were put at ease knowing their walls were saved from failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind. 

Debbie N. in Saint Cloud, MN had several damaged foundation walls in her basement that needed to be inspected. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, for a Free Estimate to figure out what the best solution would be for her situation.  

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed 12 anchor plates along the foundation to secure the bowing wall. Our foundation wall anchor system is made with a specific kind of steel that is corrosion-resistant. Each anchor system also includes a 25-year warranty. Debbie’s mind is now at ease with the quality of work done on her new and improved basement!

A customer from St. Cloud, MN got in contact with us when they noticed a large crack beginning to form on their west basement wall  Our customers knew that they were experiencing wall failure, and were afraid that if they didn't fix the issue they would run the risk of complete failure and a more costly fix. When they called in we set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. After the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property to do a walk-through. Once he finished, he recommended how we could best fix the issue. Shane wanted to use our GeoLock Anchors to correct the issue. He explained to our customer that these anchors would be the best bet to permanently stabilize the foundation wall because it anchors the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that once the installation was complete, the anchors could be tightened over time to add further stability to the walls. Our customer agreed with Shane and renovations began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Dylon, ended up installing 4 of our anchors on the problem basement wall with little hassle. 

When the work was completed our customer was happy to know that their foundation worries were in the past!
