Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Chippewa Falls, WI, noticed their walls were struggling with foundation issues. Knowing they needed professional assistance, the homeowner began looking into “foundation repair near Chippewa Falls, WI”. The homeowner’s eye was caught by our impressive ratings and reviews. After taking a closer look at our services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During his inspection, Chuck found several areas where the foundation was struggling. To prevent the foundation issues from worsening, Chuck recommended installing PowerBraces on the struggling wall. The homeowner agreed with Chuck’s recommendations, so he passed the plans along to our Logistics team. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Diego, and his crew began installing PowerBraces. The crews installed five PowerBraces along the wall. Once all the PowerBraces were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist their homeowners in repairing their damaged basements.

Ken H. in Osseo, WI had two walls in his basement that were cracked and bowing inward. He was concerned that the bowing walls were putting a lot of pressure on his foundation, and he wanted to have it taken care of before it got worse. He contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to give him a free estimate and provide him with a solution. Chad recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize his walls and Ken agreed, so they scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed 9 walls anchors along the two bowing walls. The anchors provide stability to the wall because they are drilled deep into the soil surrounding the home. The anchors also start to straighten the wall and the anchors can continue to be tightened over time, if need be. Our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ken is glad he chose a permanent solution to protect the foundation of his home.

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and production crew got to work installing our Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System. They started the process by drilling small holes through the brick wall for long metal rods to be inserted. The rods are then stabilized on each end with a channel anchor. The Channel Anchor System provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. This solution includes a channel anchor that mounts on the foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. Robert can rest easy knowing that his foundation is now permanently stabilized.

Jill P. of Hixton, WI lives in an 1889 farmhouse that is built on sandstone. Over the years, it was settling and the inside of her home was uneven, causing sagging floors.

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed three of our 5-7' SmartJacks, which are designed to restore the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists and corrects problems such as sloping, interior wall cracks, and uneven door frames.

Diane B. in Sparta, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She noticed her garage floor was uneven, and she feared the problem was only going to get worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Diane and evaluate the situation. After his inspection, Brian recommended our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to her settlement issue. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by excavating the soil surrounding the home where the foundation had started settling until they reached the bottom of the footings. Then, they secured brackets under the footings and inserted the piers until they hit competent, supportive soil. The piers transfer the weight of the home to the supportive soil, preventing further settlement. The crew wrapped up the project with installing our frost protection system to protect against frost damage. Then, they replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Diane was happy she chose to invest in the stability of her home, and we are glad we could restore her peace of mind!
