Before & After Photos

Nathan U. in Rochester, MN had our waterproofing system installed in his home. During one of his annual maintenance appointments our Senior Service Technician, Ben McKee, noticed his garage floor was uneven, and he feared the problem was only going to get worse. After a thorough inspection, he was able to recommend our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to the settlement issue. Nathan was impressed with Ben’s evaluation and the products presented, and he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by digging out the soil surrounding the home where the foundation was settling. Then, they installed heavy-duty steel brackets below the footing of the foundation. Next, rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to load-bearing soil. Lastly, the crew installed our SentrySeal membrane to seal off any cracks and prevent water from entering the basement. They replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Nathan is glad he chose to invest in the stability of his home, and we are glad we could restore his peace of mind! 

A Rochester, MN, homeowner had noticed his attached porch was showing signs of sinking over time. Not wanting to have to re-install the porch later down the road, the homeowner began to look for a company that could help. One day, the homeowner was at the Rochester Home & Lifestyles home show, when he met Brad W, one of our local Design Specialists. The two got to chatting about the issue, and the homeowner signed up for his FREE estimate on the spot. A few weeks later, Brad headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After a thorough inspection, Brad met with the homeowner to discuss next steps and his recommendations. Brad informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could effectively reverse the problem with the help of our helical piers. Brad explained that the helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. These piers are mechanically advanced into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. As they are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, they prevent any future settlement issues. In many scenarios, these piers will be able to lift your home back to level position by the completion of the installation. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan, and the work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team installed 4 of our helical piers in no time. Now our customer can continue to enjoy his porch for years to come!

In Rochester, MN, a homeowner had noticed their foundation wall starting to shift inward. Concerned for the integrity of their home, the homeowner knew it would be best to address the issue as soon as possible rather than waiting until it worsens. The homeowner had a successful basement waterproofing job done by us many years ago and was coming up on their annual maintenance. They knew it would be the perfect opportunity to express their concerns.

On the scheduled date, our Service Technician, Kyle H., arrived at the home for maintenance. He took a close look at our products to ensure they were working properly and worked closely with the homeowner on any concerns they were experiencing. After looking at the foundation walls and confirming it had started shifting, Kyle created a solution. Kyle recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchoring system that is designed to anchor the shifting wall to stable soil. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 8 GeoLock wall anchors to permanently stabilize the foundation.

Stephen S. in Rochester, MN found that his deck had started settling and putting pressure on their home. He was worried about the damage that it was causing to the structure of his home, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to inspect the situation and to find a solution for him. We recommended installing a helical pier under each deck post to support the weight of the deck and raise it back to its original position. Stephen agreed that that was the best solution to his foundation problem, so we scheduled an installation as soon as possible. 

Our crew installed 3 helical piers to support the deck and relieve the stress that it was putting on their home. The project took a couple of days, but since our piers are backed with a lifetime warranty, Stephen will reap the benefits of this project for years to come. He is pleased with the work was done and he is glad that he made the investment to protect the foundation of their home.
