Monday, January 22nd, 2024 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, discovered a slight crack in their foundation wall. Anxious about what the long-term effects could be, the homeowner began looking for professional assistance. After asking some neighborhood Facebook group chats, the homeowner saw that American Waterworks consistently came up. The homeowner decided to take a closer look into our services and previous jobs. Impressed with our work and reviews, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After all the details were finalized, we sent Nick, one of our Design Specialists. Nick completed the in-depth examination and discovered that the wall had extra pressure begun to put on it due to improper soil fill.

Solution

Once Nick discovered the cause of the cracking, he could provide the homeowners with a solution. Nick recommended that the wall be stabilized using GeoLocks. After some consideration, the homeowner agreed that Nick's plan was the best for their home. Once they received the stamp of approval, the plans were sent to the assigned crew and production commenced. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks are designed to be installed quickly and with minimal disruptions to your home and landscape. Jose and his crew installed five GeoLocks on the west basement walls. Since the crew only needed to install the GeoLocks, they were able to clean up and leave after the installation. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent job completed by the crew.
