Home Stabilized In Pierz, MN
Challenge
Jerry, from Pierz, MN began to notice cracks in the foundation walls of her home. The cracks in the wall resulted in the cracks that are caused within the foundation allowing water to seep through causing a wet basement. When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse!
Jerry smartly contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks, expressing his major concern, and claimed his FREE estimate entitling him to a full home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist Shane then attended the home and began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help not only solve the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Jerry should invest in our PowerBrace Wall System. He agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.
Solution
Once set, our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew began to strategically place PowerBraces around the basement, inserting a total of 12, 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the support beams of the home and the concrete on which the home lies. The PowerBrace™ can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation wall system installs quickly in your home, immediately and permanently halting the inward movement of your foundation walls. Now Jerry lives worry-free that the foundation of his home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!!
