Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Neil H. of Minnetonka, MN had a deteriorating exterior foundation wall and he wanted to get it fixed up. He found American Waterworks online, so he called our office and got a FREE inspection scheduled with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad proposed our Wall Recovery System, which is a company-based product. Neil was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his team installed our Wall Recovery System along the entire foundation exterior. This installation entails three coats of concrete until it is fully completed. Neil was happy with the work and said our team did a good job!

Lennie A. in Minnetonka, MN had an inward bowing wall in his storage building behind his home. He was concerned about the damage it was causing to the foundation. His realtor recommended that he call American Waterworks to help repair his foundation, so he gave us a call and scheduled a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect the foundation and provide a solution. Chad recommended that we install wall anchors on the bowing wall which would permanently stabilize and secure it. Lennie agreed that was the best option for him, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew drilled the rods of the anchors through the brick wall, until the rods reached stable soil. Then, they placed plates on each end of the right and tightened them. In total, they installed 4 anchors along the wall. Lennie was pleased that he could see a dramatic change in the stability of the wall almost immediately. Our wall anchors are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Lennie has peace of mind that he chose a permanent foundation repair option that will always protect that foundation wall.

Desiree S. was suffering from a wet basement and a damaged foundation wall. The wall had multiple cracks, was bowing inward, and water was seeping through. She did her research and was glad to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for 30 years! She contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a permanent solution to fit her needs. 

We were able to restore Desiree’s basement by installing Geo-lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation, which immediately halted the deterioration and began to straighten the wall. Then our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. These waterproofing products work together to keep her basement a dry and healthy space. Desiree is happy she made the investment to protect her home. 

A customer from Savage, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his detached garage were beginning to show signs of cracking and bowing inwards. He was afraid that, if left untreated, the problem would continue to worsen, and could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the home. When he called, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, one of our Design Specialists, Jarrett, headed out to the home to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could fix the issue. Jarrett wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the situation. He explained to our customer that our GeoLock anchors work to stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten and stabilize the wall. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after that. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew wound up installing 8 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the garage quickly and efficiently. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his garage! 

Brian, from Rogers, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice a failing wall on the basement level of his home. Brian was afraid that, if left unchecked, the failing foundation would compromise the structural integrity of the home, as well as affect the window sills of the basement, which could become costly further down the road. When he called us, we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, so our Design Specialist, Jared, headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue and how we could help fix the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he recommended the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained to Brian that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize a foundation wall by anchoring the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. This system has the option to be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls and pull them back into their original position. Brian agreed to the work and the project began shortly after.

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the Southern part of the wall. These anchors allow minimal disturbance to lawn and landscaping. Once the job was finished, Brian was satisfied to know that his failing wall worries were in the past!
