Challenge

A homeowner in Charles City, IA, noticed their walls had bowed in significantly. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find answers. The homeowner began looking into "bowing foundation repaired near Charles City, IA". After looking through several companies, the homeowner only had one company in mind for the job, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Brady, one of our Design Specialists.

Solution

Brady arrived at the home and started his thorough investigation of the foundation. During his inspection, Brady discovered that the foundation was struggling from the settlement, leading to the bowing. To stop the settlement from continuing, Brady recommended installing foundation stabilization products. Wanting to have the issue resolved for good, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Next, Brady passed the plans along to our Logistics team to have the project finalized. Once the project was confirmed, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew. Gabriel and his crew traveled to the home and started the GeoLock installation. GeoLock Wall Anchors are wall anchors that prevent walls from cracking or bowing further. Gabriel and his crew installed drive GeoLock Wall Anchors and left behind a tightening kit, so the homeowner can tighten the wall anchors over time. Once the GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their walls were properly secured and stable.
