Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, knew it was time to repair their damaged foundation. Hoping to find an expert to provide them with a solution, the homeowner began looking into "structural repair contractors near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Darin. Next, Darin traveled to the home to begin the inspection. During the inspection, Darin noted that several walls were suffering and needed to be stabilized. Darin recommended installing several PowerBraces throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Darin's recommendations. The homeowners worked with Darin to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our crew traveled to the home to begin. The crew installed five PowerBraces along the south wall. With the PowerBraces, the homeowner will have peace of mind knowing their walls were properly secured. If you are worried about the sturdiness of the wall in your home.

Jacqueline M. in Minneapolis, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her basement. She was concerned about the pressure it was putting on her foundation, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, went to her home to inspect the wall and design a solution. After listening to her concerns and needs, he developed a plan to permanently restore her wall using PowerBraces. She was pleased with his proposal, so she decided to move forward with repairing her foundation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 6 PowerBraces along the bowing wall. The PowerBrace is an adjustable beam that stabilizes bowing walls and forces them back into their original position. PowerBraces are sometimes used instead of wall anchors because wall anchors require access to the soil outside and would cause us to cross a property line if that product was installed. The beams are covered with a zinc-coating, so that the beams will not rust or deteriorate over time. Jacqueline was glad that the process was not very disruptive and that they barely take up any space in her basement. She has peace of mind knowing that American Waterworks helped her find a long-term solution for her home.

Brett T. in Minneapolis, MN noticed his floor was sloping and had started to crack. He also had some wooden support posts in the basement that were cracking, and he was concerned about the stability of his home. He did his research and was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been restoring foundations for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to meet with Brett, evaluate the situation, and propose a custom designed solution for his home.  

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew were successfully able to restore the structural integrity of Brett’s home by installing 7 of our SmartJacks and supplemental beams. Our SmartJack support system is made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. It supports the failing structure and can also often lift failing floor joists, restoring them to their original position. Brett is happy with the project and can rest easy, knowing his home has been stabilized. 

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was beginning the initial stages of selling her home. However, she knew she had one roadblock to overcome. She had several stair-step cracks running the length of her basement. She didn't want any foundation issues to compromise a potential sale, so she decided to search for a professional MN basement foundation repair company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Derek got right to work inspecting each wall. When he concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Derek began by saying that the homeowner was right to contact us, as failing foundations are notorious for dragging down the resale value of a home. Derek recommended the use of our PowerBrace wall repair system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner was thrilled to hear that the solution wasn't going to be overly invasive and decided to schedule the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our team, lead by their Foreman, Jesus C, headed out to the home to install the system. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently resell her home, knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!
