Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cracked Basement Walls Stabilized in Worthington, MN

Joe L. in Worthington, MN had two severely cracked basement walls. They were both bowing inward, and he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation. Joe knew how expensive replacing a foundation could be and he didn’t want to wait until it got to that point, so he began researching foundation repair contractors. During his search, he was directed to American Waterworks’ website. Joe was pleased to see that we offer FREE onsite estimates, so he contacted us to set up an appointment. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to evaluate the situation and find a solution. Shane developed a thorough plan that involved the installation of our Geo-Lock wall anchor system to repair his foundation. Joe felt that our proposal was the best fit for him, so they scheduled the installation. Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his team installed seven wall anchors along one wall and four on the other. Holes were dug outside of the home that were in line with where the anchors needed to be installed. Rods were drilled through the brick walls and plates were put on each end. They tightened the anchors and filled back the holes outside of the home. After the installation, Joe could already see a dramatic difference in the stability of his walls. The anchors can also be tightened over time to continue straightening the walls. The process took a couple of days, but our wall anchor system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Joe can rest easy knowing he invested in the long-term protection of his home.
