Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Michael C. in Rosemount, MN realized that their deck had started sinking and it was putting stress on the home. He could see the brick landscaping buckling, which is a symptom of settling foundation. A friend recommended that he should get in touch with American Waterworks to help with his foundation repair needs. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to give a FREE estimate. Jeremy recommended that he should have our helical piers installed to level the deck and prevent any further damage to the home. Michael agreed that that was the best option, so we sent our production crew to do the installation. 

Our crew installed 4 helical piers under the deck posts to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. The piers now relieve the stress that the settling deck was causing to the home. Our piers are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Michael can rest easy knowing he invested in a permanent solution that provides the necessary support for his deck.

A homeowner in New Hampton, IA, knew it was time to have their cracked, unstable walls repaired. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their neighbors for recommendations. Their neighbors recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our company. After seeing our impressive ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best company for the job. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Brady, one of our Design Specialists. After Brady arrived at the home, he began the thorough walk-through of the basement. Brady found that the walls were showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Brady recommended installing several wall stabilizing products. The homeowner agreed with Brady's proposal, so he sent the plans to our Logistics team for approval. After the plans were approved, they were assigned to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew to begin. Jesus and his crew traveled to New Hampton and began the installation. First, Jesus and his crew began by installing 16 PowerBraces along all the walls. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing three Carbon Armor strips on the wall. Finally, the crew installed seven SmartJacks on the walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their walls were properly secured and stable. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize its homeowner's struggling foundation walls. 

Mr. Geerts was experiencing cracked foundation walls as well as water seeping into his basement. Our Design Specialist Pete Wangen developed a plan to solve both problems. Foreman Matt Zeller and his crew installed our Wall Anchor System to fix the cracked foundation and our Waterproofing System to transform Mr. Geerts basement into a dry, functional space.

The customer was concerned about water problems and a bowing foundation wall. American Waterworks was able to straighten the wall, waterproof the foundation, and apply a vapor barrier.

Bridget M. in Racine, MN noticed that her floor had started sagging and realized that it was because her crawl space was not properly supported. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space repair solutions. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to her home to inspect her crawl space and recommend a solution. Bridget was pleased with Dustin’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our crew installed 12 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam in her crawl space to raise the floor back to its original position and provide permanent support. Our SmartJacks are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bridget is confident that she chose the best long-term option to support her crawl space.
