Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, was cleaning their basement when they noticed cracks growing along their foundation wall. Anxious this could lead to serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Knowing they could not complete the project themselves, the homeowner began looking into "cracking foundation repair near me". At the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a deeper dive into the products we offer. The homeowner liked that we offer award-winning foundation repair products, so they decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. A few days later, Ryan arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the interior and exterior foundation. During his walk-through, Ryan confirmed the foundation as compromised by settlement. To prevent the issue from continuing, Ryan recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors on the suffering wall. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan's recommendations. Next, Ryan passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Once the project details were confirmed, our Logistics team scheduled the project for the following month. The project date arrived, so our Foreman, Chris, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Chris and his crew made sure the walls were ready. Next, Chris and his crew shifted to installing the GeoLock Wall Anchors. Chris and his crew installed five GeoLock Wall Anchors on the south wall. After the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation walls were no longer suffering. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner's peace of mind. 

Stephen S. in Rochester, MN found that his deck had started settling and putting pressure on their home. He was worried about the damage that it was causing to the structure of his home, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to inspect the situation and to find a solution for him. We recommended installing a helical pier under each deck post to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. Stephen agreed that that was the best solution to his foundation problem, so we scheduled an installation as soon as possible. 

Our crew installed 3 helical piers to support the deck and relieve the stress that it was putting on their home. The project took a couple of days, but since our piers are backed with a lifetime warranty, Stephen will reap the benefits of this project for years to come. He is pleased with the work was done and he is glad that he made the investment to protect the foundation of their home.

Ginger L. of Rochester, MN had cracks in their foundation wall, and they wanted to get them fixed before it got any worse. They found American Waterworks on the web, so they requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Ginger's home, carefully inspected their wall, and proposed our wall anchor system. Ginger got all of their questions answered, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul A, and his crew installed nine of our wall anchors and their hide-a-way covers. Our covers provide a nice, finishing touch to the installation and it still allows for periodic tightening of the system. This system is made to stabilize and straighten cracked and bowing foundation walls. Since they are such a versatile system, they are able to solve several foundation problems. Ginger was happy with the work and had a great experience with our team! 

A homeowner in Rochester, MN had previously used our services to install their waterproofing system.  They noticed their wall was bowing in their basement and they looked up American Waterworks right away.

Donald R. in Rochester, MN contacted American Waterworks after he saw one of our commercials on TV. He had cracked and slightly bowing foundation walls, and he was concerned about the structural integrity of his house. He knew how much replacing his foundation entirely could be, and he wanted to fix the problem before it got any worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to his home to inspect the situation and develop a unique solution.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew installed 17 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing walls. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. The CarbonArmor reinforcement becomes part of the wall structure and can be hidden with a coat of paint. Donald’s foundation has been stabilized, and his peace of mind restored!
