Before & After Photos

In Crystal, MN, a homeowner had noticed signs of their foundation walls shifting. Knowing the issue would only worsen unless they find the right foundation repair solution, the homeowner decided look into contractors in the area. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Nicola G., arrived at the home for a thorough inspection. During the inspection, she took a close look at the foundation walls, seeing where the cracks were and which needed stabilizing. After reporting her findings to the homeowner, Nicola recommended installing GeoLock, our warranted foundation repair solution. These work by anchoring the pressure from the interior walls to the earth anchor several feet away from the foundation. Happy to see it comes with a warranty and would fix their foundation problems, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They first began by digging a hole into stable soil several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed and is connected to the interior wall plate via a pole. Once these are connected, it is tightened. The crew was able to successfully install 6 anchors!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed their floors were sagging. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into "basement fixers near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Jason. A few days later, Jason traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Jason noted the floors were not properly supported. To prevent the issue from worsening, Jason suggested securing SmartJacks along the sinking floors. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Jason's recommendations. Next, Jason worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Luis and his crew replaced the supplemental beam. Once the supplemental beam was replaced, the crew shifted their focus to securing two a. As soon as the SmartJacks were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A customer from Minneapolis, MN gave us a call when they began to notice that their basement wall was showing significant signs of cracking and failing. They were afraid that if they didn't fix the issue soon, they would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When they called our office, we set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a free and thorough no-obligation walkthrough and diagnosis of the issue. Our Design Specialist, Eric H completed his inspection and then made his recommendations as to how we could fix the issue. Eric wanted to use our PowerBrace wall repair solution, which is steel I-beams that stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew installed 7 of our PowerBraces along the problem wall in the basement. Once they had completed the project, they informed the homeowner that these braces could be tightened over time, ensuring the wall would stay stable for years to come. 

Our homeowner now no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of the home!

They reached out to us at American Waterworks, alarmed by the potential risks to their home's stability. Wanting to address the issue immediately, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Specialist and coordinated a FREE inspection.
