Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Postville, IA, noticed their foundation was beginning to crumble and separate. Worried this would affect their home long term, the homeowner began looking into "foundation repair near me". One of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. The homeowner saw our eye-catch before and afters, so they knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, 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, Ryan. As soon as Ryan arrived at the home, he began the thorough investigation of the interior and exterior foundation. During the inspection, Ryan confirmed the foundation was weakening and needed to be permanently stabilized. To prevent the weakening from continuing, Ryan recommended installing PowerBraces along the wall. After comparing the other solutions, the homeowner knew this was the ideal solution. Next, Ryan passed the proposal off to our Logistics team to build and approve the project. Once the project details were finalized, our Logistics team scheduled the project for the following months. As soon as the project date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home. First, Raul and his crew began by installing 9 PowerBraces along the foundation walls. Once the PowerBraces were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to help their homeowners stabilize their homes. 

A homeowner in Fayette, IA, realized it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment with us, American Waterworks. After checking the sticker on their already-installed products, the homeowner called our Service Center and set their annual maintenance appointment. Once the estimate was finalized, the homeowner waited for the arrival of one of our service technicians, Alex, to begin the inspection. Alex arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the products. During his inspection, Alex discovered the walls were struggling from cracks and needed to be stabilized to prevent further damage. Alex completed the inspection and presented his findings to the homeowner. Alex recommended stabilizing the walls using CarbonArmor and the homeowner agreed. Once the homeowner approved the plans, Alex passed them along to the office to build the project. After the office built the project, they assisted our Foreman, Raul, and his crew in completing the installation. Raul and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First Raul and his crew began the project by installing Carbon Armour along the north foundation wall. Once the Carbon Armor was installed, the crew ensured everything was cleaned up and products were set. The crew completed the installation, so they cleaned up all their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. If you are due for your annual maintenance appointment, sign up for yours today! 

Adam from Baldwin, WI was experiencing some problems in his home. He was concerned about the foundation of her home due to water intrusion, so he contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, our Design Special Darin attended to Adam's property. He began a thorough home inspection to properly diagnose the house and propose a proper solution that would help solve the issue and prevent other issues from arising.

First, Foreman Arturo and his crew installed our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. 

Our Foreman and the production team then installed three of our SmartJacks along the support beam of the home. Once the SmartJack was set, the team installed the WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. It works to trap water and sends it to an appropriate disposal site, our TripleSafe sump pump, an effective and economical sump solution.

They then proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold to affect the rest of the foundation. The team finished by cleaning everything up, and Adam was thrilled and impressed with the project from start to finish!

Rick and Shirley S. of Baldwin, WI had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their basement. They found an American Waterworks advertisement in the newspaper so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Rick and Shirley's house, carefully examined their foundation walls, and proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is our most versatile foundation repair system because it solves a variety of different problems. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 16 of our anchors around the entire foundation wall perimeter. This anchor-rod installation is designed to stabilize cracked and bowing foundation walls while pulling the wall back to its natural position. Rick and Shirley were happy with the work and were grateful we were able to help them with their needs.

John L. in Plum City, WI had a severely cracked and bowing basement wall. He was concerned about the structural integrity of his home and wanted to address the problem before it got any worse. He started to do some research online and came across the American Waterworks website. He was happy to learn that American Waterworks has 30 years of experience restoring basement foundations. He called for a FREE estimate, and we sent our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to meet with John and evaluate the situation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew were successfully able to stabilize John’s foundation with installing 5 Geo-Lock Anchors along the bowing basement wall. Our Wall Anchor System permanently stops the inward movement of walls by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. Anchors can be installed year-round with minimal disturbance to the lawn and landscaping. John was impressed with the quick installation and is grateful to have restored the value of his home!
