Before & After Photos

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!

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.

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.

In Minneapolis, MN, a homeowner faced a pressing issue: their foundation walls were visibly shifting. 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. Our Design Specialist, Brian R., then conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the basement, clearly diagnosing the evolving problem. To address the problem effectively, our recommended solution involved using our CarbonArmor system. This advanced, non-invasive approach involved the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, noted for their exceptional strength and durability compared to traditional methods. Our skilled production team, led by Isael D., undertook the challenge of securing the basement properly. Through careful application of CarbonArmor straps, adhered securely with high-strength epoxy resin, the team successfully stabilized the bowing walls. These straps, along with the robust armor protocor similar in installation, ensured the integrity and safety of the basement. The team executed the solution with precision, finishing the project by efficiently cleaning the work area, thereby leaving no trace of disturbance. The completion of this job reinforced the home's foundation, securing it against future shifts.
