Unstable Basement Gets Fixed in Waconia, MN

A homeowner from Waconia, MN, was getting his home ready for resale. Before he could list his home, he was aware of several issues that needed to be fixed so as to not hinder the sale. One of these issues was a large crack running lengthwise on one of the homeowner's basement walls. He had been aware of the crack for some time but knew it was time to take action. He began to look for foundation repair MN and quickly found our website. He signed up for our FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home.

Once Ryan finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He explained that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on the wall exceeds its ability to withstand the force, it begins to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. For this reason, Ryan recommended our GeoLock anchors. These anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil beyond the homes foundation. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's proposal and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of 7 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently list his home for sale, knowing everything is in tip-top shape!
