Bowing Wall Corrected in Thief River Falls, MN

A Thief River Falls, MN, homeowner had been aware of several cracks in his foundation for some time now. He was beginning to think about reselling his home and knew that he had to have the problem fixed before he could list his home. He began to look for MN foundation repair, quickly found us, and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan J, headed out to the home. He completed a full inspection of the foundation and then met with the homeowner. He began by stating that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure on the side of the wall. So when the pressure being exerted ends up being more than the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, and/or sliding in at the bottom. Dylan went on to say that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors, an innovative system that counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Dylan finished by saying that this system is able to be tightened over time to move through the next stages of the home's life. The homeowner was thrilled with Dylan's recommendation and signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Kingsley C, and his team were in the basement installing the anchors. When they finished, they had successfully installed 8 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can list his home with confidence! 

Wet Basement Repair in Gwinner, ND

Jesse H. of Gwinner, ND tore out their basement bathroom, but then had water coming into their basement. They researched some contractors and came across American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our expert Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, went to Jesse's home to examine the water problems and write out a well-designed solution. After a clear inspection, Jesse was confident in Richie's proposal of a sump pump replacement, so they signed the proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53 Sump Pump, followed by the discharge line. This sump system is designed with two pumps and is made to keep basements clean and dry by discharging water far away from the home and sending it away from the foundation. To complete the project, our production team covered the remaining broken-out concrete gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jesse was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from beginning to end!

Wall Stabilized in Stirum, ND

A homeowner in Stirum, ND, discovered a separation between cinderblocks on their basement wall. Aware that this could lead to a significant problem, the homeowner sought for a professional opinion. While sifting through many foundation repair companies, the homeowner came across American Waterworks. In addition to foundation repair, the homeowner noticed American Waterworks can complete a multitude of jobs. Certain they were the perfect match, the homeowners signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, James, to complete an assessment of the home. Following his thorough inspection, James suggested that the homeowners permanently stabilize the foundation. Trusting his expertise, the homeowners agreed and stabilization prep began. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew arrived at the home and the job began. The crew started by installing five Geo-Locks on the south wall. After the Geo-Locks were attached, the homeowner decided to include the Geo-Lock Tightening kit, so they could straighten the walls over time. Next, the crew shifted to installing CleanSpace on all the basement walls. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned the job site and left the home better than it was before. The homeowners were relieved to see know the struggling wall was properly supported. American Waterworks is happy to bring another homeowner peace of mind.
