Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cracked Basement Walls Stabilized with Anchors in Madison Lake, MN

Jessi G. in Madison Lake, MN had a cracked and bowing wall in her basement. Water had started seeping through the cracks, so she knew she needed to repair the wall and she needed to act quickly before the situation got any worse. She saw a commercial on television for American Waterworks, so she contacted us to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, went to her home to inspect her foundation and design a solution. Eric recommended that we install wall anchors along the bowing wall to secure and straighten it. Jessi liked the proposal that Eric developed, so she moved forward with repairing her foundation. Our production team installed 5 wall anchors along the wall by drilling long metal rods through the brick and into the soil. Then, they secured and tightened the rod with anchor on each end. As the wall began to straighten, the crack started to close, and water is no longer able to seep through her wall. The anchors can continue to be tightened over time, so that the stability of the wall continues to improve. Our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jessi has peace of mind that she chose the best solution for her basement for the long-term. Do you have a cracked basement wall?
