Before & After Photos

In Worthington, MN, a homeowner noticed multiple cracks forming along their foundation walls. Concerned that it would continue and eventually lead to wall failure, the homeowner was determined to find a long-term solution. After looking through a list of foundation repair contractors in the area, the homeowner chose to schedule their FREE estimate with us because of our reviews.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kevin B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he used our advanced tools to see how far the foundation has shifted and determined the areas that needed to be stabilized. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Kevin began working on a detailed solution. He recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that redirects pressure against the foundation to stable soil. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 6 GeoLock anchors to stabilize the foundation.

A homeowner in Balaton, MN, was down in her basement doing laundry when she noticed the large cracks forming along her basement walls. Worried that it could worsen, she began her research for services in the area. She found our website and was impressed with our reviews and "Before and After" stories. She immediately contacted us and claimed her FREE estimate. In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Eric H. traveled to the home to assess the foundation. 

Eric had informed the homeowner that the moisture content of the soil caused it to expand and put pressure on the wall. When that pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see cracking, bowing, tilting inwards, and sliding at the bottom of the foundation wall. Eric suggested our PowerBrace, steel-I beams that will stabilize walls in their current position. The PowerBrace is customized to fit the height of the wall. Then, the top of each brace is attached to the top of the wall using a specially designed bracket that is bolted to the floor joist. This bracket contains a large-diameter bolt for adjusting and tightening after the installation. The steel-I beam is then straightened before it is attached to the floor. Once it is attached to the floor, the brackets that anchor each I-beam to a floor are tightened. This forces a tilted or bowed wall back to its vertical and straight position. It can also be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter. The homeowner was thankful for Eric's explanation and solution and agreed to his plan.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeremiah F., and his team arrived at the home to install 11 PowerBrace's in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can happily do her laundry, knowing that her walls are secured.

A homeowner in Russel, MN, noticed their foundation walls were bowing significantly. Worried this could lead to major structural issues, the homewoner knew they needed to find a professional solution. The homeowner looked into "bowing wall repair near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings, 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, Eric. A few days later, Eric promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection. During the evaluation, Eric confirmed the walls were bowing due to poor stabilization. To prevent the issue from worsening, Eric recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors on the wall. Knowing this was the best plan, the homewoner decided to go ahead with the recommended plans. Next, Eric worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Matt, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. The crew secured 15 GeoLock Wall Anchors around the entire foundation. After all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was secure. If you are suffering from a simliar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A female homeowner in Valley City, ND had basement waterproofing already completed in her basement, and she also needed her foundation repaired. Our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz, recommended our Wall Anchor System, which is designed to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was confident in Ian's proposal, so she signed his contract and moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team started the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation wall and inserting a long, metal rod from the interior foundation to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our team installed a wall anchor on the interior side and an anchor plate on the exterior side. Wall anchors are the most versatile wall repair method because they can be used to stabilize walls with a variety of problems, such as bowing and tipping walls, and walls that are pushing in. To complete the installation, our tram backfilled each hole and compacted the soil, ensuring the yard was cleaner than when they found it.

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.

This wall anchor system will permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed, compact soil.
