Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Foundation Wall in South Saint Paul, MN

Ray W. in South Saint Paul, MN was suffering from a severely bowing foundation wall. He knew he shouldn’t wait to repair his foundation because he knows how expensive it is to replace the foundation altogether if it were to fail. While searching for a company that could help restore his foundation, he came across the American Waterworks’ website. He decided to reach out to us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his wall and provide him with a solution. Chad recommended that we install 7 wall anchors along the bowing wall in order to permanently stabilize it. Chad answered Ray’s questions and addressed Ray’s concerns. After reviewing his options with Chad, Ray decided to move forward with the installation of the wall anchors. Our production team installed the wall anchors by drilling long metal rods through the brick wall into the soil outside of the home. The rods are then secured with wall plates on either end. Once the anchors are tightened, the wall becomes secured and starts to straighten. Ray also purchased hide-away anchor covers to conceal the anchors and make his basement more visually appealing. The installation process took a couple of days, but our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Ray has peace of mind that his foundation is permanently protected.
