Before & After Photos

Maren R. in Farmington, MN had a foundation wall in the basement that had a long, horizontal crack through it near the top. The wall had started to bow inward so Maren decided that it was time to reach out to a professional. They contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to inspect the home. Jeremy determined that the best solution to repair the foundation would be to install wall anchors. Maren was pleased with Jeremy’s design and the proposal, so they scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 8 Geo-Lock wall anchors along the wall. This immediately halted any further deterioration of the wall, and once the anchors were completely tightened, the wall began to straighten. The installation took two days to complete, but having the anchors installed has restored Maren’s peace of mind. This permanent foundation repair solution is far more efficient and cost-effective than replacing the foundation.

Joe of Farmington, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice his stone foundation crawl space was beginning to sag. Joe knew that if he left the problem unresolved, it could cause further structural damage to the home and possibly cost much more down the road. When Joe contacted us, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Dylan, was able to get out to the property to do a thorough inspection and once he had finished, he was able to make recommendations about how we could help Joe fix the issue. Dylan recommended Joe used our SmartJack crawl space support system. This system is unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel so rusting isn't a worry. This means your SmartJack system can be tightened for years to come. Joe agreed with Dylan's recommendations and renovations began soon after. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew ended up strategically placing 5 SmartJacks in the crawl space of Joe's home. The installation was quick to complete. Once the job was done, Joe was relieved to know that his foundation worries were in the past. 

A homeowner in Farmington, MN, wanted to have a professional come to their home and inspect their crawl space. Unsure of which company to go with, the homeowner began asking their neighbors to see which company was best fit for their situation. Many of their neighbors raved about us, American Waterworks, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate appointment was created, we sent out our Design Specialist, Ryan, to inspect the crawl space. Following his in-depth inspection, Ryan determined that the crawl space walls required permanent stabilization. Ryan proposed a recommended solution to the homeowner that would solve their issue and allow them to straighten the walls over time. The homeowners agreed with Ryan's recommendations and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our crew arrived at the home and began the stabilization process. The crew installed eight GeoLock anchors on the crawl space walls for stabilization. GeoLocks are a foundation wall anchor system that is designed with galvanized steel. In addition to installing the GeoLocks, the homeowner asked to have the straightening kit included as well. The straightening kit will allow the homeowner to straighten their walls over time. After the crew successfully installed the GeoLocks, they were able to clean up their site and leave the home. The homeowner was relieved to know that their crawl space walls were properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind. 

In Plymouth, MN, a homeowner was experiencing two main issues: a tilting garage foundation and high radon levels. Concerned for the garage's stability and their family's health, the homeowner began looking into contractors in the area. Happy we provide both services, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Nate B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he began by looking at the garage. He took a close look at the foundation and took precise measurements to see how much the foundation had shifted. Next, he took a close look at the layout of the home, taking note of the areas where our radon mitigation system could be installed. After reporting his findings, Nate began working on a solution. To stabilize the garage, he recommended installing our GeoLock channel anchors that redirect pressure against the foundation to stable soil. To reduce the radon levels, he recommended installing the radon fan at the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement. This system is designed this way so that it can effectively suction our the radon gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Happy with the solution, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a week, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home to install the radon mitigation system. Once this was completed, in about a week, Diego B., and his crew arrived to install 4 GeoLock. Now, our customer can have peace of mind! Experiencing something similar?

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN was beginning to notice a large crack forming on the walls of their basement. Not wanting to risk more damage being done, they began to do their research about companies that could help with the issue. Once they came across American Waterworks, they called in and we set them up with our FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, headed out to the home to see what we could do to help. Upon completion of the inspection, Rick was ready to make his recommendations. He wanted to use our C-Channel and Geo-Lock Anchors to correct the problem. Rick explained that channel anchors are a versatile, effective system that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. The homeowner agreed with Rick's recommendation and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Victor, and his team installed 12 anchors throughout the basement. When the project was completed, the homeowner was happy to know they no longer had to worry about foundation failure compromising their home!
