Before & After Photos

Mike C. in North Mankato, MN had a cracked and bowing foundation wall in his basement. He contacted American Waterworks after seeing an advertisement because he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to provide him with a FREE onsite inspection and design a solution. Eric recommended that we install PowerBraces to stabilize his walls and protect his foundation. Mike liked the proposal that Eric presented to him, so he decided to move forward with repairing his foundation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 7 PowerBraces along the bowing wall. The PowerBraces are designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential for the wall to straighten over time. The beams are covered with a zinc-coating to protect it from rusting or deteriorating. The process was less invasive than Mike thought it would be. Mike is glad he chose the right solution through American Waterworks to protect his foundation for the long-term.

Matt T. of Mankato, MN had bowing foundation walls, causing him to worry about the structural support of his house. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan, who went to his house, examined his walls, and drew out the solution of our Wall Anchor Foundation Repair System. Matt was comfortable with Ryan's presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging small holes beyond the foundation, until they hit compact, undisturbed soil. While installing our anchor system, each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Our wall anchors straighten the wall back into its original position by pulling it back to where it's supposed to be. Over time, homeowners can tighten their anchors to ensure the system is still sticking to its design. To complete the project, Jose and his team backfilled the holes, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it.

June L. of Mankato, MN had cracks halfway up her foundation wall, causing her to worry about the structural build of her home. She saw one of our trucks driving around, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to June's home, inspected her foundation, and determined the solution of our Wall Anchor System, which is the most versatile foundation repair product that we provide for homeowners. June got all of her questions answered and felt comfortable with the product, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his production team installed 20 of our wall anchors around the entire foundation wall perimeter. Our wall anchors are made to stabilize basement walls and provide the best opportunity to straighten them without the cost of replacement. Our wall anchors are warrantied for 25 years and can be installed year-round. June was thrilled with the work that was completed, and had a great experience!

Brenda A. of Mankato, MN had a tight crawl space with access floors above that were sagging. She wanted to get them lifted and supported, so she called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Dylan, went to Brenda's home to inspect her crawl space and determine a solution. Dylan proposed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support Posts, which are specifically designed to lift and repair sagging floor joists. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew removed all the access dirt to install our SmartJacks. This system can be tightened with a torque wrench by the homeowner or by our service technicians during annual maintenances. Brenda's peace of mind and sagging floors were restored once the project was completed!

Jessie L. in Litchfield, MN had a couple of damaged foundation walls in her basement that were bowing inward. She contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to inspect her situation and design a solution. Jeremy assured her that we would be able to stabilize her walls by installing wall anchors. She was pleased to hear this, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed 14 wall anchors through the damaged walls in the basement. We drilled small holes through the walls and in to the soil. Then, we dug corresponding holes in the yard and inserted long metal rods. Lastly, we secured the rods by installing anchors on each end. Jessie's walls are now permanently stabilized, and she is glad she chose to invest in the protection of her most important asset.
