Before & After Photos

Jon, a homeowner in Fort Ransom, ND had sagging floor joists in his basement space, causing him to worry about the structural hold and stability of the home. After coming across our contact, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to the property to carefully inspect his problems and come up with a solution. Jon got all of his questions answered and was confident in Richie's presentation and design of the project. 

Our Foreman, Zachary, and his production team installed 2 8' SmartJacks. The SmartJack system restores stability and straightens sagging floor joists and can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. This SmartJack system was paired with a supplemental beam and Joist Assist Bracket to secure the system. When the job was done, Jon was satisfied with the project and was grateful we could assist him with his home repair needs! 

Adam in Hendricks, MN was concerned about the cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radkte, to his home to inspect his basement, develop a solution and provide him with a FREE estimate! Jeremy put together a thorough plan to permanently repair Adam’s foundation using wall anchors.

Our production crew started installing the wall anchors by drilling small holes through his foundation walls and inserting long metal rods. They also dug small holes in the soil surrounding the home that lined up with the holes drilled in the walls. Then, they secured both ends of the rods with anchor plates and tightened them. The installation only took a couple of days to complete, and now Adam’s foundation is permanently stabilized.

A nervous homeowner in Wimbledon, ND, hoped to stabilize their home properly. After comparing many companies, American Waterworks stood apart from the rest. The homeowner contacted us and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Ian, to examine the current status of the home's structure.  Ian recommended stabilizing the foundation and putting in a supplemental beam. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowners agreed with Ian's recommendations, and the plan was put into action. Our crew traveled out to the property and started by installing nine SmartJacks along the main beam. The SmartJacks were placed approximately six feet apart. Additionally, a seven-foot-long supplemental beam was installed on the north wall. The homeowner was impressed with the efficient job done by the crew. With the comfort of knowing their floors are permanently stabilized, the homeowners are thankful for the work done by American Waterworks.

Ryan and Rachel W. of Arco, MN had a bowing foundation wall, causing them to worry about the safety and stability of their house. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks on Google. After looking through our services, Ryan and Rachel got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist inspected their foundation wall and determined the causes of why their wall was bowing inward, so he proposed our Wall Anchor Repair System. Our wall anchors stabilize foundation walls and bring them back to their original position. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside to the outside to where the holes were dug. Our team screwed on and tightened an anchor to the end of each rod, extending out to the compacted soil beyond their home, anchored themselves there, and braced the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard was neater than when they found it.

Ray L. in Worthington, MN was concerned about two large cracks from the top of the foundation to the bottom on one wall in his home. While researching foundation repair options, he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to his home to inspect the foundation and provide Ray with a solution. 

Ray was happy with Dylan’s proposal and the PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System that we offer. He set a date with our production crew to install the adjustable steel I-beam system which stabilized the tilting wall and over time will force the wall sections back to their original position. The PowerBraces do not require outside excavation, so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. It’s anti-corrosion zinc coating will keep them looking like new for decades to come!
