Wall Failure Risk in Sherburn, MN

Friday, March 11th, 2022 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A homeowner in Sherburn, MN, was nervous about the growing horizontal crack in their basement. They knew they could not solve the issue themselves, so they began searching for an expert to assist them. The homeowner began asking around and the same name kept getting brought up, American Waterworks. After viewing our foundation repair services, the homeowner knew we were the best fit. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and prepared for the arrival of Dylan, one of our Design Specialists. After introducing himself, Dylan began to examine the basement. Dylan determined that the wall was in the early stages of failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Dylan suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. The homeowner wanted to have the problem resolved, so they agreed.

Solution

Once they received approval, a crew was assigned and production preparation began. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the stabilization process. To begin, the crew made sure the area was cleared and ready for production. Along the north wall, the crew installed 5 GeoLocks, our innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring it to the untouched soil beyond your foundation. Additionally, the homeowner requested that the crew include the tightening kit, so they can gradually straighten their walls over time. The crew successfully stabilized the walls and stopped further wall failure. The homeowners were impressed with the efficient and excellent work completed by the crew.
