Bowed Foundation Wall Repaired in Kandiyohi, MN
Challenge
When it comes to foundation failure, there are some exterior and interior signs that can make a homeowner aware. These interior signs include sticky doors and windows, sagging floors, bowing and cracking walls, and cracks in the floor. Some exterior signs include cracks and tilting chimneys. Finding these problems before they get worse is crucial when it comes to limiting the scope of the damage and the cost of the project.
A resident in Kandiyohi, MN was experiencing some of these problems in their foundation and it worried them to think it could cause severe damage to their home. They went to a local home show in Willmar, MN, where they saw our foundation repair stand in our booth. They saw our Design Specialist working the show, so they discussed their problems with him and asked questions about our products. Our Design Specialist signed him up for a FREE on-site inspection. At these inspections, our Design Specialist inspects the problem, diagnoses the causes, observes the symptoms, and draws out a detailed solution. Our Design Specialist did just that for this homeowner and proposed our Wall Anchor Foundation Repair System. The homeowner was confident in the product, our presentation, our sales follow-up, and company reputation, so they signed our contract, wrote out a deposit check, and moved forward with the project.
Solution
Our Foreman and his production crew began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowner and ensuring all of their questions were answered. After a thorough introduction, our team got to work and dug out the soil surrounding the foundation wall with an excavator. Then, our team dug small holes beyond the dugout soil and inserted a long, metal rod from the interior foundation to each hole. With each anchor being connected to a steel rod, the wall plate is able to provide the pressure needed to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our team backfilled the holes, ensuring the yard looked neater and more together than they had found it. The project took a couple of days but was completed in a timely, efficient, and professional manner.
