Before & After Photos

Joe V. of Brewster, MN had bowing foundation walls in his basement that were getting worse. He heard that American Waterworks does Free Estimates so he gave us a call. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection and written proposal going over our GeoLock Anchor Foundation Repair System, which offers a 25-year warranty and is one of the most effective when stabilizing foundation walls, Joe went ahead and scheduled his installation date. 

Our foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew started the installation by digging 13 holes in the soil around the home. They installed a long metal rod in each hole from the soil to the foundation wall and tightened each side with a 26" x 26" anchor. This allowed the walls to straighten out and refurbish to its normal position. They finished the installation by putting the soil back in the holes and leaving the site cleaner than when they arrived. Joe is very happy with the work that was done and is happy he got a hold of American Waterworks when he did! 

A homeowner from Garvin, MN, was walking across the main level of her home when she noticed an area that seemed to be sagging lower than the rest of the floor. She was immediately concerned about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One day she found herself at the Marshall Home Show, where she met our Design Specialist, Ryan P. The two got to chatting about her concerns for her home, and Ryan informed her that American Waterworks offers FREE, no-obligation estimates into homeowners' concerns. The two found a day for Ryan to come out to the home. 

On the day of the inspection, Ryan got right to work inspecting the basement and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met up with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that floors over basements sag due to many reasons, including inadequate or shifting support beams beneath floor joists and lumber deterioration due to mold and rot. For this reason, Ryan recommended our SmartJacks. Our SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, SmartJack posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springing floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Because of its design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendation and liked the idea of having a system that could be adjusted down the road.

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel R, led his team through the installation of 10 SmartJacks throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her foundation worries are in the past! 

John P. of Ghent, MN had cracked foundation walls in his basement so he went to the Marshall Home Show to see if he could come across any foundation repair contractors. He saw American Waterworks and chatted briefly with our Design Specialist, Tom Ringeisen, about a FREE Estimate. Tom went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough examination, John was comfortable with the design so he scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production crew installed 10 of our GeoLock Wall Anchors from the exterior soil to the interior foundation walls to stabilize and straighten the walls. John was ecstatic with the work and no longer has to worry about the life and stability of his home!

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by digging 10 holes outside of the home. Our crew inserted a long, medal rod through the foundation wall to the exterior soil and installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the ends of each rod to straighten and stabilize the walls back into their normal positions.

Arlene O. of Avoca, MN had cracked foundation walls in her basement, making her worry about the stability of her home. After seeing an American Waterworks advertisement in her local newspaper, she called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Tom Ringeisen. Tom went to her home to inspect the cracks and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Arlene got all her questions answered, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Trevor Ellingson, and his production team began the project by digging small holes in her backyard, parallel to the foundation wall. From inside the basement, our crew installed a long, metal rod from the inside foundation wall to each hole outside. Then, our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the ends of each rod to pull back and straighten the foundation wall into its normal position. To complete the work, Trevor and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Arlene couldn't believe how quickly they completed the work and had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
