Challenge

A homeowner in Saint Michael, MN, knew it was a bad sign that the crack in their wall was growing. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowner began searching for a solution. During their search, the homeowner came across our high reviews on HomeAdvisor. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner took a closer look at the services we offer. After seeing our extensive list of services, the homeowner knew we were the right choice. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and then prepared for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Eric arrived at the home and began his inspection. Eric discovered that the foundation wall was failing due to hydrostatic pressure.

Solution

Once he determined the cause of the failure, he could provide the homeowners with a solution. Eric suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized to prevent further damage. After deliberating their options, the homeowners follow Eric's suggestions. The plans were then sent to our Foreman, Luis, and his assigned crew. Luis and his crew arrived at the home and began by preparing the lawn and wall for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is a wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and can straighten your wall back to its original position. The crew installed five GeoLocks along the east basement wall. After the GeoLocks were installed on the home's interior and exterior, the crew could clean up their materials and leave. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work done by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
