Before & After Photos

Josh M. of Slayton, MN had cracks along his foundation wall, and he wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible. He heard about American Waterworks on the radio, so he decided to give our office a call. Our customer care department set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to his home to carefully inspect the foundation wall and come up with a solution. Josh got all of his questions answered about the repairs, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team began the installation by digging five holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. Next, our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of each rod, our team tightened and secured a GeoLock Wall Anchor. This wall anchor system will permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed, compact soil. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall. To complete the project, our team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Josh was very happy with the final product! 

A homeowner from Slayton, MN, was doing some work on his basement. After removing wood paneling in a lower room, he uncovered stair-step cracks running down his wall. He was very concerned about his discovery and decided to look into MN foundation repair companies. When he found our website, he was impressed by our previous work and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Lance S, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Lance got right to work, conducting his inspection of the home. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Lance informed them that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt at the top. He assured them that while it was a serious issue, we had a solution. Lance wanted to use our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained that our GeoLock anchors is an innovative wall anchor system that 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 further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the sound of having a system that could be adjusted at the house continued to settle, and decided to schedule his project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor R, and his team effortlessly installed 10 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can finish his basement revamp knowing that his foundation worries are in the past!

A homeowner in Lidgerwood, ND, grew extremely concerned after discovering their basement wall was beginning to bend inward. Worried their home would collapse, the homeowner knew they needed help immediately. Since Fargo, ND, was not that far, the homeowner decided to look at expert foundation repair based there. One of the first companies was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to look at our previous jobs. The homeowner was impressed with the work completed by our crews, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. After James arrived, he began his detailed walkthrough of the basement. Once his walk-through was complete, James determined the walls were close to failure. To stop the failure from continuing, James recommended installing EverBrace, a product specialized for our North Dakota territory. After learning more about EverBrace and its benefits, the homeowner decided to proceed with the project. James passed the plans along to our Logistic team and they built the project and assigned it to our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Once they received the plans, Franklin and his crew traveled to the home and started the EverBrace installation. First, Franklin and his crew took off the old paneling to expose the extremely damaged wall. After exposing the wall, the crew was able to install the EverBrace wall system along the east and south basement walls. Once the EverBrace system was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's caving basement walls. 

Joel, a homeowner in Dazey, ND was experiencing issues in his basement space with walls moving and cracking along with water intrusion, all of which led him to call our office.

He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

The project Foreman, Domenic, and team began working on the West side of the home north of the garage, the team began by excavating the soil outside of the home as needed to prepare for the installation of our solutions. Then, they installed our SentrySeal Waterproofing Membrane to the exterior as well as our SilverGlo Insulation System to hold back moisture and ensure energy-efficient insulation. SilverGlo comibes highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. The crew also removed sheetrock to install four of our GeoLocks anchors. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are an innovative system that permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can be tightened over time. The soil was then backfilled and the team cleaned up the space. At the end of the project, Joel was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue. 

Rick M. of Enderlin, ND had bowing walls in his basement, making him worry about the structural build and safety of his home. He knew one of our employees, so he went with American Waterworks for the repairs. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Sales Manager, Mike Radosevich. Mike inspected his problems and came up with a solution that worked for him and his budget. Rick was happy with Mike's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date.

Our PowerBraces is a foundation wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. Over time, they can be tightened by the homeowner to make the bowed walls straighter and more vertical. Rick was happy with the repairs and had a great experience!
