Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wet Basement and Cracked Foundation Repaired in Magnolia, MN

Hunter R. in Magnolia, MN was tired of dealing with his wet basement and was concerned about his cracked foundation walls. He had inward bowing walls and water was seeping through causing damage. He contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect the situation. Hunter 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. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and our recommended Sani-Dry XP Dehumidifier. 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.  Next, they installed 3 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. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, and Hunter is glad he made the investment to protect his home!
