Photo Album: Bowing Foundation Walls in Litchfield, MN

Jessie L. in Litchfield, MN had multiple foundation walls in her basement that were cracked and bowing. Jessie and her husband knew that if they left their foundation problems unattended to, they might eventually have to replace the entire foundation, which is very expensive. They saw an advertisement in their local newspaper for American Waterworks and saw that we offer basement waterproofing, foundation repair, concrete leveling and radon mitigation. After researching their options, they decided they needed to call the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks. We sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to their home to inspect their foundation problem and design a solution. Jeremy answered their questions and addressed their concerns. He developed a thorough plan, tailored specifically to the needs of their home. They were pleased with his proposal, so they decided to move forward with the installation. Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 14 wall anchors along the two bowing walls. The rods of the anchors go through the brick walls and into the soil outside. The rods are then secured by anchor plates on each end. Once the anchors are straightened, the walls begin to straighten, and the foundation is secured. The installation only took one day, and our foundation repair products are all backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jessie and her husband will benefit from this repair for the entire life of the home. They are glad that they chose to protect their most important asset by investing in a long-term solution. Are you noticing signs of foundation problems? Don’t wait until it’s too late!
