Deteriorated Foundation Wall Restored in Jamestown, ND
Challenge
Old foundation walls can develop cracks and can be pushed inward by soil pressure. When a foundation starts to fail in these ways, the safety and structural integrity of the entire home is threatened. Identifying these problems before they get worse is key in limiting the scope of the damage.
A male homeowner in Jamestown, ND was experiencing similar problems with his foundation wall, causing him to worry about the stability and value of his home. Since he wanted to sell his home, he had to make sure that the foundation was strong and stable. He heard about American Waterworks and saw that we provide this kind of work, so he called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home, carefully diagnosed and inspected the foundation wall, and drew up with a well-designed and detailed solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. The homeowner got all of their questions answered and felt confident in Ian's proposal of out ShotLock Wall Restoration System and its warranty, so he signed the contract, wrote out a deposit check, and scheduled a date for the installation.
Solution
Our Foreman, Matt, and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowner and answering any last-minute questions that he had about the project. After a thorough introduction, Matt and his team got to work. Our crew applied 24 feet of our special spray-on solution called ShotLock. ShotLock is a fiber-reinforced mixture that is twice as strong as concrete and it is compatible with other foundation repair techniques. Some contractors may recommend that a failing foundation be demolished and replaced with newly constructed footings and walls, but that repair strategy can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars. In this case, it is possible to stabilize and strengthen the failing foundation without costly, disruptive demolition and reconstruction. Along with that, it is not just fast and effective, it is also attractive. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the work that was done, and was amazed at how quick the installation was!
