Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Foley, MN, knew it was time to repair their separating and falling-apart walls. Worried their walls were severly compromised, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a permanent solution. After comparing several companies, the homeowner's attention was caught by foundation repair experts, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Once their appointment was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Daniel, to the home to take a closer look. Daniel promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Daniel confirmed that several areas were suffering from settlement. To prevent the settlement from continuing, Daniel recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors along the struggling walls. The homeowner agreed and worked with Daniel to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Jesus and his crew started by installing 8 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the east and south walls. Once all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left their home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

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?

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!
