Photo Album: Cracked Basement Wall Repaired in Marshall, MN

Neal I. in Marshall, MN noticed several large cracks in his basement foundation which were getting larger over time. He was concerned that if left unrepaired the walls could fail completely or beyond repair. He did his research and learned that the wall anchor system at American Waterworks is custom-designed and installed by our own certified and highly qualified foundation experts, and he contacted us for a free estimate. Our production team installed nine Geo-Lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation by drilling small holes through the block into the soil surrounding the home. They dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to stabilize the walls and to halt any further movement. Wall anchors should be tightened over time to continue the process of straightening the wall. Wall anchors use the soils beyond the foundation walls to exert counterpressure on failing foundation walls. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Neal can be confident he chose a permanent solution to protect his home.
