After reading the blog about signs of foundation damage, the homeowner knew their foundation could be compromised.

When the appointment date arrived, Derek promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the foundation. During the inspection, Derek noted the south foundation wall was sinking due to settlement. To stop the settlement from continuing, Derek recommended securing 16 Helical Piers along the south walls. Helical Piers permanently stabilize your home's foundation and can lift your home back to its original level. The steel piers are screwed mechanically into the soil. Then, the piers are installed to the appropriate capacities and depths, and a steel foundation bracket connects the Helical Piers to the footing.

A homeowner in Dickinson, ND, discovered large cracks growing throughout their foundation. Worried their foundation was damaged, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked foundation repair in Dickinson, ND", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed by our elite foundation repair products, the homeowner knew we were the ideal fit for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist. A few days later, the Design Specialist traveled to the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection of the foundation, the Design Specialist noted that the foundation was suffering from significant pressure and cracking. To prevent this issue from worsening, the Design Specialist recommended securing seven Helical Piers on the garage foundation wall. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with the Design Specialist to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Kiko and his crew started by installing GeoLock Wall Anchors. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole directly through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. Along with the GeoLock installation, the homeowner asked that the tightening kit be included as well. This will allow the homeowner to straighten their walls over time. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is experiencing a simliar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Dickinson, ND, recently found themselves facing a concerning problem. The interior foundation walls of their home were noticeably bowing. Uncertain of the underlying cause and aware of the potential consequences, this homeowner sought expert help to ensure their home’s stability.

This setup provided immediate stabilization of the walls, preventing any further inward movement. The entire process was efficiently completed within a day, demonstrating our commitment to providing timely solutions. Upon completion, the production team ensured the site was clean and the homeowner received a detailed overview of the solutions implemented. The GeoLock Wall Anchors not only halted any further movement but also offered the possibility of straightening the walls over time, thus restoring peace of mind and preserving home value.

After a heavy rainstorm, a homeowner in Dickinson, ND, knew they needed to inspect their basement for water damage. After taking a closer look, the homeowner found several areas that were suffering from water intrusion. Worried this could become a serious issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Hoping to find a permanent solution, the homeowner began looking into "waterproofing by experts". One of the first companies to capture their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our waterproofing services. After seeing our impressive before and afters, the homeowner 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, Dylan. A few days later, Dylan arrived at the home and began a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Dylan discovered that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the leaking from continuing, Dylan recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Dylan's proposal. Next, Dylan passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Once the Logsitics team gave the final stamp of approval, they assigned the project to our Foreman, Aaron. A few weeks later, Aaron and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Aaron and his team started by installing WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard. Next, the crew shifted to installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching it to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly repaired.

Westin, from Dickinson, ND, was in the process of updating his basement. Wanting to make sure everything was code-compliant, he began to think of updating his egress window beyond the basement window. He began to do some research about companies in the area providing the work he needed. When he came across our company, he contacted us and we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a FREE, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. A few weeks later, a member of the Design Specialist team, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his walkthrough. Once he finished, he recommended that Westin think about having our RockWell egress window well installed in place of the outdated window well. Richie explained that our RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. He went on to say that RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. He finished by saying that a polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well.

Our customer agreed and work began a few months later. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began the process by excavating the old well around the window, placing the RockWell, sealing and securing the RockWell in place, and then finishing the job by securing the safety cover over the egress. When the job was complete, Westin was happy to know that he and his family could enjoy their space in peace, and no longer worry about their space not being code-compliant with safety.
