Before & After Photos

Carsten I. of Hopkins, MN had bowing and cracking walls in his garage, and he wanted to get them inspected before his walls fell in. He got in contact with American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to Carsten's house, examined and diagnosed his wall, and wrote out a detailed solution of our Wall Anchor System. Our Wall Anchors are connected by a long, metal rod to a wall plate that provides the pressure needed to straighten it back into its normal position. Carsten was confident in our product and its warranty, so he got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Gabriel Ramos, and his production team installed 14 of our wall anchors to stop the inward movement entirely. Over time, the homeowner can tighten the wall anchors to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Our wall anchors are the most versatile foundation wall repair methods because they can stabilize walls that have a variety of different problems. As you can tell in the pictures, the wall moved dramatically from bowing to completely straight. Are you interested in our wall anchor system and what it can do for your failed foundation?

In Minnetonka, MN, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation issues in their basement and garage. After seeing multiple cracks, the homeowner knew it was time to address the issue to prevent further movement. They began looking into foundation repair in MN and found our website. Impressed by our exceptional reviews, the homeowner knew we were the right company and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the home. During the inspection, Dylan took a close look at the foundation to see where the cracks began and which walls needed stabilizing. After working closely with the homeowner on creating a solution tailored to the issues they were experiencing and that was within their budget, Dylan recommended installing PowerBrace, our wall reinforcing system that is installed against the foundation wall to stop further movement, and GeoLock, our wall anchor system that is designed to channel pressure from the foundation to stable soil several feet away from the foundation. Happy that our products come with a warranty, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew was able to successfully install 4 PowerBraces and 4 GeoLocks.

Aaron S. of Goodridge, MN had sagging floors falling into his basement, causing him to be nervous about the structural stability of his home. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Aaron's house, inspected his sagging floors, and determined a solution that would fit Aaron's needs. Aaron was confident in the proposal of our SmartJacks, so he signed Aaron's proposal and went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed eight of our SmartJacks to lift and level the sagging floor joists.

Jerry, from Pierz, MN began to notice cracks in the foundation walls of her home. The cracks in the wall resulted in the cracks that are caused within the foundation allowing water to seep through causing a wet basement. When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse!

Jerry smartly contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks, expressing his major concern, and claimed his FREE estimate entitling him to a full home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist Shane then attended the home and began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help not only solve the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Jerry should invest in our PowerBrace Wall System.  He agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set, our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew began to strategically place PowerBraces around the basement, inserting a total of 12, 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the support beams of the home and the concrete on which the home lies. The PowerBrace™ can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation wall system installs quickly in your home, immediately and permanently halting the inward movement of your foundation walls. Now Jerry lives worry-free that the foundation of his home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!! 

Kent J. of Burnsville, MN had a bowing foundation wall, making him worry about the stability of his home. He knew of American Waterworks, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to Kent's home and inspected the wall to figure out the best solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our Wall Anchor System, which is a system that stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring the wall to the compact soil beyond the foundation. Kent was confident in the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by digging holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team installed a long, metal rod through the wall to each hole outside of the home. Each anchor is connected by the rod to a wall plate, which provides the pressure needed to straighten the foundation wall. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors with a torque wrench to ensure the system is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, our crew backfilled each hole outside of the home and ensured the yard was neater than they found it. Kent was happy with the work that was performed and had a great experience from appointment to installation!
