Damaged Foundation Restored in Lonsdale, MN

Challenge

Amber O. in Lonsdale, MN had multiple cracked and bowing walls in her basement. She was concerned about the pressure that the damaged walls were putting on her foundation, so she researched foundation repair. She found American Waterworks and contacted us to receive a FREE estimate. She approved of our products and design and moved forward with an installation date. 

Solution

We were able to successfully stabilize Amber’s walls by installing wall anchors and PowerBraces. We installed the anchors on the walls where we were able to dig out in the yard. We used PowerBraces when we needed to due to the footing configuration. Both the anchors and braces need to be tightened over time, which will gradually straighten the walls and improve the stability. Amber’s peace of mind has been restored now that her foundation has been permanently stabilized.
