Failing Wall Gets GeoLocks in Montevideo, MN

A customer from Montevideo, MN got in touch with us when a crack began forming on his block basement wall. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric H. headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could help correct the issue. Because the wall was beginning to bow inward, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the problem. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system would permanently stabilize the foundation of the home by anchoring the wall to the virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after the initial installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull them back into its original position. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his crew ended up strategically installing 5 GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that his foundation worries were in the past! 

Sump Pump Saves Basement in Montevideo, MN

A Montevideo, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with her basement. Each time it rained, small amounts of water found its way into her basement and settled on her floor. She searched for 'basement repairs near me' and eventually found our website. She was impressed with the other work we had done in her area, so she decided to schedule her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he got right to work assessing the space. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he believed that the water intrusion issue could be handled with our SuperSump sump pump. This pump is effective and economical, including a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with Ryan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team were able to place the sump with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy a water-free basement! 

Failing Wall Stabilized in Montevideo, MN

A Montevideo, MN, homeowner was in his garage one day when he noticed a large crack running lengthwise on the furthest wall. He was immediately worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of his home, so he decided to find a MN-based foundation repair company. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed a thorough inspection of the foundation of the garage and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings and recommendations. Ryan began by stating that the homeowner was seeing cracking because there was an excess amount of pressure being applied to the wall from the exterior. He went on to say that our GeoLock anchors would help, as this system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed and undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with the plan and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, the project was underway. In the end, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team installed 6 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem wall, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in his largest investment!
