Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

An Austin, MN, homeowner was in the middle of a renovation on their basement when they tore out a section of drywall, revealing various cracks, a clear indicator of foundation failure. Rightfully, the homeowner worried about the cause of the concerning cracks, and what it could mean for the rest of the home. She quickly decided to find a bowed foundation wall repair contractor in her area. After consulting various home improvement websites such as Angi and Thumbtack, she was directed to American Waterworks. She reviewed all of our previous work in her area, and felt confident that we could provide her with a lasting solution, so she claimed her FREE estimate. 

On the day of the FREE, no-obligation inspection, our Design Specialist headed to the home to perform the evaluation. After he concluded, he sat down with the customer to discuss what his evaluation uncovered. He started off by explaining that bowing walls are cause for concern, and mean that the side pressure on the wall is becoming too much for it to withstand. When that side pressure exceeds the walls ability to hold it, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting, or sliding in at the base of the wall. Our Design Specialist went on to say that we could aide the issue with the use of our PowerBrace wall repair system. This patented foundation wall repair system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls, and can often be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter or more vertical. The homeowner needed some time to think over the project, and when she was ready, called our Design Specialist to get her project scheduled. 

On the day of the installation, the homeowner eagerly waited for our crew to arrive. Led by our Foreman, Victor S, our team made quick work of the installation. When the project was finished, we had installed 7 PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Our customer can now continue her remodel, knowing she's covering freshly solved foundation cracks!
