Foundation Repair Photo Album: Severely Damaged Foundation Repaired in Lonsdale, MN

Don S. in Lonsdale, MN had a severely cracked and bowing foundation that could have failed at any moment – and almost did! 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 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. They demolished the part of the foundation that was completely failing, reconstructed the block foundation, and sealed the surrounding cracks. The crew finished the project with installing one wall with Basement To Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels for a more insulated, energy-efficient basement. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Don has peace of mind now that his foundation is permanently stable.
