Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sinking Foundation Restored in Blaine, MN

Erik S. in Blaine, MN had two severely cracked foundation walls in his basement. One of the corners of the home had started to sink and it was because the soil under his home was not supportive enough. Erik had heard how much replacing a foundation can cost so he wanted to have it looked at by a professional in hopes that he could have it repaired for a fraction of the price. He began to look for foundation repair contractors and he was directed to American Waterworks’ website. He contacted our appointment center to schedule a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect the problem and provide a solution. Chad explained that the best option to permanently stabilize the foundation was to install piers under the foundation. Erik agreed that was the best option for him, so they scheduled the installation. Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew installed four push piers underneath the foundation of his home. The piers are drilled deep into the soil until they hit supportive soil. Once the piers are installed, the weight of the home is transferred to the piers, instead of the foundation. Although the process took a couple of days, Erik and his family will benefit from the secured foundation for a lifetime. Our piers are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Erik has peace of mind that the foundation of his most important asset is now permanently repaired. Are you seeing signs of damage to your foundation?
