Bowing, Cracked Foundation Repaired in Clear Lake, IA

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, knew it was time to repair their cracked and damaged walls. Knowing they could not repair it themselves, the homeowner began searching for a stabilizing solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked wall repair near Clear Lake, IA" and the homeowner's eye was caught by our high ratings and reviews. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan, to begin his thorough investigation. Ryan took a close look at the wall and noticed the walls were beginning to bow inward. To stop the bowing from continuing, Ryan recommended installing 11 GeoLock Wall Anchors throughout the walls. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Ryan passed the proposal off to our Logisitcs team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team finalized the plans, and then it was passed along to our Foreman, Matt, and his crew to begin. Matt and his crew traveled to Clear Lake and began the GeoLock installation. The crew installed all 11 GeoLocks on the cracked and bowing foundation. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, Matt and his crew were able to clean up their materials and leave the home.

Anchors Repair Foundation Wall in Clear Lake, IA

Bryan H. of Clear Lake, IA had a cracked foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about further bowing or cracking. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Bryan understood its design and got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the project by digging three small holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. In the basement, Jesus and his crew inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside, and tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes a foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the compact soil and pulling it back to its original position. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. To complete the installation, Jesus and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil.
