Before & After Photos

In Maple Grove, MN, a homeowner noticed their foundation began leaning inward and was concerned for the stability of their home. Knowing the importance of early action against foundation movement to prevent wall failure, the homeowner began searching for bowed foundation wall repair and found us. Impressed by our Google rating, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Jason S., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the foundation and noted how much it had shifted. After reporting his findings, Jason worked closely with the homeowner on creating a tailored solution to their foundation problems. He recommended securing the wall with PowerBrace, our steel i-beams installed against the foundation to halt further movement. Happy it's backed by a lifetime warranty, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew arrived for the installation, where they successfully installed 8 PowerBraces. Now, our customer can have peace of mind! Experiencing signs of a bad foundation? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Ms. Nolte had a deteriorating foundation wall at her home in Dexter, MN. Design Specialist, Rick Weber, developed a plan to restore her wall by spraying on our wall recovery solution to prevent any further deterioration. 

Lee C. in Kenyon, MN contacted American Waterworks because he noticed the beams in his basement were sagging, he had cracks in the drywall, sticking doors, and unlevel floors. All of these are symptoms of a failing foundation and only get worse over time. Lee met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who recommended he have our structural support jacks and supplemental support beams installed to stop any further deterioration. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew got to work and installed 10 SmartJacks and supplemental beams throughout the basement to straighten and strengthen the sagging floors. Because of its design, the SmartJack can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Lee’s peace of mind has been restored, knowing he chose a permanent solution to restore the stability of his home.

Greg H. in West Concord, MN noticed that his garage wall was pulling away from his home and it had created about a half inch gap between his house and the garage. He started looking into foundation repair options and he came across the American Waterworks website. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation and provide him with a solution. We recommended installing PowerBraces along the shifting foundation to halt any further movement and start to move the foundation back into place. Greg felt that our plan was the most efficient, durable, and cost-effective option, so he chose to move forward with the installation.

Our production team started the installation by securing brackets into the garage floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. The installation took a day to complete, but now Greg’s foundation is permanently restored, and he no longer is concerned about the stability of his garage.
