Failing Wall Fixed in Tomah, WI

A Tomah, WI, homeowner had been eyeing his basement walls for some time now. He could have sworn that, over time, the wall had slowly been showing signs of tilting inward. The homeowner didn't know of any local foundation repair companies, but on the recommendation of a friend, decided to call American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, one of our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the basement to examine the wall and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his results. 

He began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not from the side. So, when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, homeowners will see bowing, cracking, sliding in at the bottom, or tilting inward at the top. Our Design Specialist then reassured the homeowner that while this issue seems daunting, the solution is relatively simple and non-invasive. Our Design Specialist wanted to use our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. He explained that CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls. It's comprised of epoxy and carbon fiber to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. While this method does not restore a bowed wall, it will halt further movement and cracks. The homeowner was happy with our recommendation, and decided to sign on the spot. 
On the day of the installation, our crew, led by their Foreman Chris N, worked hard to install 7 CarbonArmor straps throughout the basement and on the wall in question. When the process had been completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know that he could put his foundation worries in the past! 

Bowing Wall Fixed in Tomah, WI

A homeowner from Tomah, WI, had been worried about the foundation of her home for some time now. Over the years, several large cracks had become visible on one of the walls, leading the customer to fear that there could be something wrong with the home's structural integrity. The homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in her area. She had knowledge of our services and often saw our logo'd cars around town, so she called us up and set up her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. When Chuck arrived, he wasted no time entering the basement to see the cracks for himself. Once he concluded his estimate, he met with the homeowner, explaining that the bowing could be from various factors. However, he had the solution. He wanted to use our CarbonArmor reinforcement system to address the bowing wall. He explained that CarbonArmor can help reinforce your bowing walls and repair cracks. They are made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10x stronger than steel and is specifically designed to reinforce and stabilize basement walls. While this system will not restore the wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks, and because the straps don't protrude on the wall like other solutions, the repair can easily be covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and signed up for her job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 7 of our Carbon Armor straps around the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her foundation deterioration has been halted!

She had heard about our services through friends and immediately knew that we would do the job correctly and in a timely manner. She took advantage of our FREE estimate and scheduled a time for one of our experts to inspect the issue.

Our Design Specialist, Will R traveled to the home and explained to the homeowner that the issue could be fixed with our PowerBrace, a wall repair system that's designed to keep bowing walls at bay. Will explained that the PowerBrace is installed by cutting the braces to the appropriate height of your wall. It is then placed on the failing wall and secured to the floor and top of the wall. After it is attached it is then tightened to straighten that wall. The homeowner agreed and Will's plans were quickly sent to our Foreman, Diego B, and his crew. On the day of the installation Diego B and his crew installed 5 PowerBrace's satisfying our customer. Now, our customer no longer has to worry about her failing wall.
