Foundation Repair Photo Album: Severely Damaged Foundation Restored in Austin, MN

Todd Y. in Austin, MN had a severely cracked and bowing foundation that could have failed at any moment. He was worried that his foundation was past the point of repair. He started doing some research and was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for the last three decades. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to evaluate the situation and to propose a unique solution that would fit his needs. We assured him that we could install Geo-Lock Channel Anchors and Wall Anchors to permanently repair his foundation for a fraction of the price of foundation replacement. He approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. Our production team started the process by drilling small holes through the brick wall for long metal rods to be inserted. The rods are then stabilized on each end with either a channel anchor or a wall anchor depending on what kind of support is needed for the specific wall. They tightened the anchors until the walls were straightened and stabilized. The crew also installed supplemental beams to reinforce the foundation and ensure support. Then, they installed four structural support jacks to halt the downward movement of the floor and lift the failing floor joists. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Todd has peace of mind now that his foundation is permanently stable.
