Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Byron, MN, a homeowner had noticed a large horizontal crack forming on their foundation walls. Concerned that the issue would continue to worsen until it leads to wall failure, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair experts in the area and found us. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan took a close look at the foundation walls, determining where the cracks are and which needed stabilizing. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, he began working on a detailed solution. Ryan recommended installing GeoLock, our warrantied wall anchoring system that anchors the interior foundation wall to stable soil, preventing further movement. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home to install 3 GeoLocks. The crew began by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed and connected to the interior wall with a steel pole. Once everything was properly attached, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Robert and Teresa M. of Saint Paul Park didn't have enough support to hold up their floor to their upstairs. They found out that we provide FREE estimates so they got in touch with our office staff and scheduled their appointment. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to their house, inspected their pre-existing support posts, and proposed our SmartJacks, which are heavy-duty galvanized, steel beams. Robert and Teresa were confident in the system and its design, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew installed seven of our SmartJacks to lift and support the sagging floor joists. This system can hold up to loads of 60,000 pounds. The project took one day and Robert and Teresa were thrilled with the work!

In Bemidji, MN a homeowner was looking to make some changes to his cabin before the winter months arrived. His main concern was the foundation landing outside of the side door that had sunken over the years. Wanting to get it fixed, he went online to find a reasonable solution because he wasn't interested in fully replacing it. He looked up foundation repair companies and came across the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our past work and our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. We received his request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists to inspect the foundation. The Design Specialist explained that our HelicalPiers were the perfect solution to stabilize the landing and prevent it from sinking again. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was later greeted by one of our Foremen, Juan Pena, and his crew. They carefully installed the HelicalPiers and made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before leaving the home.

A Pine Island, MN, homeowner was doing laundry when she noticed a large crack in her foundation, running the length of the basement. Upon further investigation, she found that the wall was compromised in several areas. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began searching for a reputable foundation company in Pine Island, MN. One night, she was watching TV and saw one of our ads. She decided to call us, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Darin informed the homeowner that she was right to contact us. He went on to say that while the problem seemed daunting, American Waterworks could easily address the issue using our GeoLock wall anchors. This unique foundation wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. This system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to straighten your foundation walls further and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's plan, and the job was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to install 7 of our GeoLock wall anchors around the basement of the home. 

Now our customers can enjoy their space without worries of foundation troubles!
