Foundation Settlement Concerns in Austin, MN

Challenge

A homeowner in Austin, MN, grew concerned regarding the many cracks on the foundation walls in their basement. Knowing this could lead to larger issues, the homeowner sought professional assistance. The homeowner remembered that American Waterworks has done plenty of jobs in their area, so they decided to look into our company further. Impressed by our foundation repair services, the homeowner thought they would give our FREE estimate a try. Once the appointment details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Darin, to the home. After Darin arrived, he began his inspection of the foundation. Following his inspection, he discovered that the foundation was cracking due to settlement.

Solution

Once he figured out the cause, Darin could provide a solution for the homeowners. Darin suggested that the foundation be stabilized using GeoLocks, our innovative wall anchoring system. After considering all their options, the homeowners agreed and production commenced. Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew made sure the basement was cleared before they could begin installation. Once cleared, the crew could install 20 GeoLock around the entire basement's perimeter. The GeoLocks are anchored to outside, untouched soil to prevent walls from bowing and cracking. The crew successfully finished the project and cleaned up their materials. The homeowners were thankful to know that their basement was no longer bowing inward. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for a FREE estimate today!
