Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Rochester, MN gave us a call when they noticed his crawl space wall was showing signs of failure. He was afraid that if the issue went unresolved, he would run the risk of compromising the structural integrity of the home. When he called, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Next, our Design Specialist, Dustin, headed out to the house to complete a thorough inspection of the issue. When he had finished his walkthrough, he recommended the homeowner use our C-Channel anchor system. He explained that this system provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. He went on to say that this system works to immediately stabilize walls by pushing in at the bottom, as well as anchoring deep in the soil. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jose C, and his crew ended up installing 10 of our C-Channels throughout the space. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about foundation issues! 

Charles D. of Willernie, MN had a bowing foundation wall. He wanted to get it repaired before it bowed any further. He had American Waterworks take care of him and his home. Our Design Specialist, Chad, inspected his foundation wall and educated him on our solutions. Our Feld Supervisor, Rene, installed our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve a wide variety of problems. The project was completed in one day, and Charles was happy with the work that was done!

Renae from Redby, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that the distribution center she worked at was beginning to show signs of sinkage in particular places. She feared that if the issue was left unresolved, the building might become structurally compromised, or be more expensive to fix later down the road. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to complete his thorough no-obligation walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he recommended the use of our helical piers to correct the sinking portion of the building. He explained that because the portion being lifted was so small, the helical pier would be the best choice because of its ability to be pulled into the soil during installation, providing anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. He went on to say that the helical pier is very versatile and typically used for lighter loads. Renae agreed and work began a few weeks later. Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked diligently to install 4 of our helical piers around the troubled portion of the foundation. Once the job was completed, Renae was happy to know that she could resume business without worrying about her sinking foundation! 

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, knew it was time to have a professional inspect their bowing and cracked foundation. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their friends, who had a similar issue, for any recommendations. The friend referred them to work with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. The homeowner was impressed with our work, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent Brady, one of our Design Specialists, to take a closer look. Brady arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Brady discovered the south foundation wall bowing significantly and needed to be permanently stabilized. Brady presented his proposal to the homeowner and they agreed with his plan. Next, Brady passed the proposal to the office to be finalized. Once they were given the final stamp of approval, the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew to begin the project. Raul and his crew traveled to the home and started by installing four GeoLock Wall anchors along the south foundation wall. Once the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew installed 7 CarbonArmor strips along the east and west walls. Once both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the basement better than they arrived. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing this basement was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners relief knowing their home was secured from possible wall failure.  

A homeowner in Cresco, IA, noticed the stairstep cracks on their cracks were growing significantly. Concerned about the long-term damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional fix. The homeowner was scrolling through Facebook when one of our paid advertisements caught their eye. Interested in learning more, the homeowner clicked on the ad and took a closer look at our services. The homeowner liked our services and knew we were the best company for their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Brady. Once Brady arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and they showed him to the problematic wall. After looking closer, Brady noticed the wall was showing early signs of failure. To stop this failure from progressing, Brady recommended permanently stabilizing the wall. The homeowner did not want the wall failure to continue, so they agreed with Brady's recommendations. Next, Brady passed the plans along to the office to build the project, and then to our crew. Once the crew arrived, they began the project. First, the crew began by installing seven GeoLock Wall Anchors along the south basement wall. After the GeoLock anchors were secured, the crew shifted their focus to outside the home. The crew installed SilverGlo on the outside south foundation walls. Once all the products were properly secured, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its homeowner's struggling foundation walls.
