Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from North Dakota contacted us pertaining to a deteriorating wall. The couple was interested in moving and didn't want to run into any issues when trying to sell their home. The walls in question were stone walls that were crumbling and had concrete peeling. Our Design Specialist, Ian, concluded the best next step would be to install Wall Recovery on the portions of the wall that were compromised. Our Foreman, Cameron, went out to the property to install the Wall Recovery, which is sprayable concrete used to repair cracks, crumbling, and peeling concrete. Now the home is ready for new owners!

A customer from Jamestown, ND got in contact with us when they began losing sleep over a crumbling wall in their basement. Our customer knew that if he left the wall untreated he could run the risk of severely damaging the structural integrity of his home. When he called in we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, which entitles customers to a thorough 3-hour inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to do his inspection. Once completed, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could best fix the issue. Kole wanted to use two of our products to address the failing wall. First, he recommended the use of our Helical Piers to take some of the load off the foundation itself. These piers are used to provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. He explained that our helical piers can help lift settled foundations back to the original level and that they are the ideal pier for a lighter structure. Kole also recommended the use of our ShotLock system, which entails encasing our PowerBrace, rebar, and steel mesh behind 4-6' of concrete. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our helical piers along with 34 feet of ShotLock through the basement of the home. When the work was completed, our customer was relieved to know that he could rest peacefully knowing that the foundation of his home was stable and secure. 

Dennis S. of Jamestown, ND had a bowing wall in his basement, and he wanted to get it repaired before it bowed more. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to Dennis's house, inspected his walls, and proposed our Wall Reinforcing System. Dennis was confident in Kole's proposal, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed our CarbonArmor Reinforcing Strips to help reinforce the bowing walls. This system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize the walls. In fact, it is proven to be 10 times stronger than steel.

Jen D. of Jamestown, ND had bowed foundation walls in her basement, causing her to worry about the structural build and stability of her home. She knew of our Design Specialist, Ian, so she scheduled a FREE estimate with him to inspect her walls and draw up a solution. After a thorough inspection, Jen felt comfortable in Ian's proposal, and was confident in our products and their warranties, so she went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to Jen and ensuring all of her questions were answered. After a thorough introduction, our team got to work and installed our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are specifically made to stabilize basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Jen was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience with our team from start to finish!

Anna S. of Jamestown, ND had a failing foundation wall in her apartment that needed to be stabilized. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Anna's apartment, carefully inspected her wall, and determined a solution that would work for Anna and her home repair needs. Ian proposed our PowerBraces Wall Repair System, which keeps bowing walls straight. Anna was confident in Ian's proposal, so she signed his contract, wrote out a deposit check, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed ten of our PowerBraces around the foundation wall perimeter. Our PowerBraces are designed to straighten the walls and can be tightened over time by the homeowner. 

The installation process: 

Step 1: Our team cuts the wall braces to ensure the PowerBrace is cut to size based on the wall height. 

Step 2: Our team attaches a brace to the floor joist near the top of the wall and the bracket gets bolted to the floor joist. 

Step 3: Our crew will use a level to ensure the position of each beam is balanced and straight. 

Step 4: To complete the installation, our team attaches each beam to the concrete floor with a bracket that bolts in place. 

Step 5: Our team will tighten the beam with a torque wrench, which forces the wall back into its original position.
