Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

GeoLock Anchor Wall SystemA homeowner from Alta Vista, MN had been keeping an eye on their bowing basement wall for a few years when they finally decided it was time to search for a remedy to the problem. After speaking with neighbors and friends, they decided to reach out to American Waterworks to see what they would be looking at. Once they scheduled their FREE, no-obligation estimate they were able to get a date on the calendar for one of our Design Specialists to come out to the home and conduct a thorough walkthrough. 

Once the inspection had been completed, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendations as to how to fix the failing wall. He informed the homeowner that the basement could benefit from the use of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. He informed the homeowner that this solution has minimal disturbance of the home, and is designed to permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that after the installation is complete, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation walls to pull them back to their original position. 

Our Foreman and his team ended up installing 16 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the space. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without fearing a failing foundation.
