Before & After Photos

Rick from West Concord, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wall was beginning to bow inward, showing signs of failing. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Mac, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he could make recommendations as to how we could help. Mac wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. He explained that this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that the anchors can be tightened over time. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew installed 7 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. When the work was done Rick was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue. 

A West Concord, MN, homeowner was down in his basement one night, when he saw tiny stair step cracks beginning to run down the wall. He was worried about what this could mean for the integrity of the home, and quickly decided to find a foundation repair mn specialist. After extensive google searching, he found American Waterworks. He recognized the name, and knew we did quality work, so he decided to schedule his FREE inspection. 

A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, stopped out at the home. After a careful evaluation of the space, Ryan met back with the homeowner. He began by explaining that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above. When the pressure on the side of the walls becomes too much for the wall to withstand, it's not uncommon to experience cracking, bowing, or tilting inward at the top of the wall. Ryan went on to say that the situation could be resolved with the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. Ryan explained that wall anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside the home. Threaded rods are extended through the wall, and then the plates are tightened, slowly restoring the wall over time. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's solution, and the two decided to find a date for the installation. 

A few weeks later, our Foreman, Victor S, and his crew installed 14 GeoLocks throughout the basement. Now the homeowner is thrilled to know that their foundation repair worries are in the past! 

A homeowner in Dayton, MN, noticed that his basement wall had been tilting inward and wanted to address the issue immediately. He began searching for "foundation repair near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, he was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate.  

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. When heavy rain or flood causes the soil surrounding the foundation to become saturated with water, the water puts pressure on the walls, impacting the stability of the home. To fix this issue, our Design Specialist recommended our GeoLock wall anchors. GeoLocks are designed to stabilize foundation walls permanently and can be tightened to straighten walls over time. The homeowner was grateful for our Design Specialist's explanation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Victor S., and his crew arrived at the home to install 5 GeoLocks. These are installed by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. The earth anchor is then placed and attached to the interior wall. Both anchors are connected by a small steel pole that runs through the ground. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Mary and Gene of Laporte, MN, had sagging floors in a room in their lake house, and they wanted to get it lifted to prevent any further settlement. The couple decided to call American Waterworks to claim their FREE estimate. This entitled Mary and Gene to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed to the property and began a thorough home inspection to diagnose the house and propose a proper solution. Ian explained that the reason for their troubles was in part because the home was sitting on wood and suggested that they invest in our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. This system is also unique because it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, so rusting isn't a worry. This means the SmartJack system can be tightened for years to come.

Mary and Gene agreed and scheduled an appointment for installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew went to the property and got to work. The team permanently stabilized the floors using 6 SmartJacks, 28 Joist Assist Brackets, and a 36-ft Supplemental Beam in the crawlspace below. Mary and Gene were so happy with the work and felt a sense of peace about the safety of their lake home! 

A resident of Nisswa, MN had a bowing foundation wall and they wanted to get it fixed. They had American Waterworks come out for an inspection and estimate.

The resident was very happy with the work and their foundation wall and peace of mind were restored!
