Bowing Wall Stabilized in Clements, MN

A homeowner from Clements, MN, was out at a rental property one day when he noticed one of the basement walls was bowing significantly. He didn't want to risk the safety of the home for his tenants, so he decided to find a foundation repair specialist in Minnesota. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

When Eric arrived, he was directed to the basement, and he began his inspection. When he completed, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon to see cracking or bowing. Eric went on to say that while the issue sounds daunting, there is a simple fix. Eric recommended the installation of several of our C-Channel earth anchors. He explained that these anchors counteract the bowing wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, providing a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls. The homeowner liked the sound of Eric's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

When the project day rolled around, our Foreman, Jeremiah and his crew arrived bright and early at home. They wasted no time getting started, and after a long day, they had effortlessly installed 5 of our C-Channel anchors in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his rental property's foundation has been stabilized!
