Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Trimont, MN, felt it was time to have their basement inspected due to the concerning cracks growing along their walls. Since the homeowner has done work with us in the past, they felt comfortable calling our Appointment Center and signing up for their FREE estimate. After the FREE estimate was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Edgar, to investigate the status of the wall. When Edgar arrived, he met with the homeowner and then took a look at the wall. Edgar determined that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Edgar recommended they install GeoLocks to permanently stabilize. Knowing this was the best option, Edgar agreed and the solution was directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to begin the stabilization process. Upon arrival, they made sure the basement was cleared and ready for production. Then, the crew began installing five GeoLocks along the south wall. The homeowner requested that the tightening kit also be included in the job, so they could gradually straighten the wall over time. When the crew finished the GeoLock installation, they cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Charles W. in Saint James, MN had large, stair-step like cracks in three of his basement walls. He noticed they had started to bow inwards, so he decided it would be a good idea to have a professional look at it. A friend of his had a good experience with American Waterworks so he recommended that Charles contact us to repair his foundation. Charles called us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the situation and find a solution for him. Charles was pleased with the thorough plan that Jeremy developed, and he felt that we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew strategically placed seventeen Geo-Lock wall anchors along the three bowing walls. The anchors are placed in the ground outside of the home and drilled into the basement walls. Then, the plates are screwed on and tightened. Once the plates are tightened, the walls straighten and stabilize. Charles can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to secure his foundation because our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty.
