Unstable Foundation in Glencoe, MN

Monday, March 4th, 2024 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A homeowner in Glencoe, MN, was concerned with the status of their foundation walls. Knowing they needed a professional to assist them, the homeowner decided to hunt for the best foundation repair company near them. While scrolling through Facebook, the homeowner came across our one foundation repair before and after. Impressed by the project results, the homeowner decided to sign up for the FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. Gary arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner, then began his detailed inspection of the basement. Following his evaluation, Gary determined that the east foundation wall was the cause of the issues.

Solution

Since Gary found the problematic wall, he could come up with a solution. Gary suggested that the struggling wall be permanently stabilized using PowerBraces, our wall repair system. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed with Gary's suggestions. Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew were assigned to complete the tasks. When they arrived, Jeromy and his crew mapped out where the seven PowerBraces would be placed. Next, the crew installed the PowerBraces into their assigned position. In addition to the PowerBraces, the crew asked that the tightening kit be included with the project. The tightening kit allows the walls to be gradually straightened over time. The crew finished the stabilization and cleaned up their material. The homeowner was pleased to know their foundation was saved from possible failure.
