Foundation Repair Photo Album: Damaged Foundation Restored in Winona, MN

Greg P. in Winona, MN was concerned about his wet basement and cracked foundation walls. He had inward bowing walls and water was seeping through. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his situation. Greg approved of the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. Our production crew started installing our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. They, they installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that water will be properly discharged from his basement and that it will remain a dry and functional space.  Then, they installed 14 Geo-Lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation by drilling small holes through the block into the soil surrounding the home. They dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to stabilize the walls and to halt any further movement. The anchors continue to straighten the walls and can be tightened over time as the wall gradually moves back into place. Lastly, the crew installed the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier along the basement walls to provide protection from mold growth and give the basement a clean look. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Greg can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to protect the foundation of his home.
