Mason City, IA Basement Saved with GeoLocks

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, discovered large horizontal cracks on their foundation walls. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner decided they wanted a professional to take a look. Overwhelmed by all their options, the homeowner asked their neighbors if they had any recommendations. The neighbor recommended working with us, American Waterworks. After the neighbor gave them our number, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Eric, was sent to complete the estimate in the home. Eric arrived at the home to begin the basement analysis. After he inspected the basement, Eric discovered that the cracks were caused by hydrostatic pressure. To stop the walls from bowing in further, Eric suggested the walls be permanently stabilized with GeoLocks, our innovative wall anchoring system. After thinking about their options, the homeowner agreed with Eric's suggestions. The plans were assigned to our Formean, Crescencio, and his crew. When the crew arrived, they began by mapping out where the 10 GeoLocks would be secured. Then, they began installing four GeoLocks on the west and six GeoLocks on the north foundation wall. Once the GeoLocks were properly secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was at ease knowing their foundation was saved from possible failure.
