Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Denise M.'s foundation wall was bowing in and was starting to crack. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Russ. Russ went to Denise's home, carefully inspected the foundation wall, and proposed the solution of our PowerBraces. Denise got all of her questions answered and she was confident in the product, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his team installed seven of our PowerBraces, which is a wall repair system that is made to stabilize failing basement walls and provide them with the potential to straighten over time. Denise was happy with the work and had a great experience with our team.

Loeub L. in Faribault, MN came across our booth at the Faribault Home and Garden Show and spoke with one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton. Loeub had some bowing basement walls and was concerned about the structural integrity of his home. He was looking for a permanent, cost effective solution with minimal disruption to his basement space or outside landscaping. Eric recommended our PowerBrace Wall Repair System. Loeub approved of the plan and move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew installed 11 PowerBraces along the bowing foundation walls. The steel I-beams stabilize the wall in its current position, and over time, can be tightened to make the walls straighter and more vertical. The PowerBraces can be installed with no disruption to outside soil. Loeub was impressed with the quick installation, and is worry-free, knowing his basement is now permanently stabilized. 

We got a call from a concerned homeowner in Shakopee, MN, who was experiencing a bowing wall in her brick garage. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went out to the property to do a full inspection and ended up recommending our PowerBrace system to fix the issue. This particular system is an adjustable steel beam that stabilizes bowing walls and forces bowing or tilted wall sections back into their original position. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his team went out to the property and installed several beams along the South wall of the garage. Now we have a relieved homeowner who no longer has to worry about a faulty foundation! 

A homeowner in Monticello, MN, noticed their basement ceiling was sinking, so they attempted to fix it themselves. The homeowner placed a wood post in the middle of the room, holding up the ceiling. Knowing this fix would not last forever, the homeowner knew they needed professional assistance. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner looks at the best basement repair companies in their area. During their search, the homeowner came across our stellar reviews and ratings. Impressed, the homeowner decided to go to our website and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to complete the evaluation. Once he arrived, Ryan began his inspection of the basement and confirmed the post needed to be replaced. Ryan suggested replacing the post with one of our SmartJacks, and the homeowners agreed. Once they received approval, the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Gustavo, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the installation. First, the crew removed the wood post from its position. Then, the crew replaced the old post with the SmartJack. Once the SmartJack was secured into place, the crew cleaned up their materials. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is glad to help another customer feel safe in their home. 

A Blooming Prairie, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his basement walls for some time now. Over the years, the homeowner had noticed several cracks in the home's foundation, and as time progressed, the cracks continued to worsen, raising his concern for his home. The homeowner had no idea who handled foundation repair MN, but decided to confide in some of his friends and family about his concerns. On the recommendation of one of his friends, he decided to call American Waterworks and schedule his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan M, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he wasted no time heading down to the basement to see what could be done. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Ryan informed the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not the sides. So when the amount of pressure from the side becomes more than the wall can bear, homeowners will see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, or sliding in at the bottom. For this reason, Ryan recommended our C-Channel anchor foundation repair system. Ryan explained that these anchors counteract the pressure from the side by anchoring the failing wall to the undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Channel Anchors are versatile, effective systems that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day's time or less. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the successful installation of 17 C-Channel anchors throughout the basement. Now our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation issues are in the past!
