Foundation Repair Photo Album: Wall Anchors and SilverGlo Save Basement Walls in Jasper, MN

April N. of Jasper, MN had bowing and cracked foundation walls in her basement and wanted to learn how to take care of them. She did some research and called American Waterworks for a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to her home to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. April felt confident with Eric’s proposal, so she got an installation date scheduled. Our foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the installation by applying SilverGlo on the cracks by the stairs. SilverGlo serves as an insulation barrier to insulate and keep heat in the home. Next, they dug fourteen holes outside of April’s home to install our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Our team put a long, metal rod in each hole from the soil to the interior foundation wall and screwed on and tightened an anchor on each side to bring the wall back to its normal position. Our wall anchors provide permanent relief to bowing walls and can be tightened overtime to make sure the walls stay stabilized. To complete the installation, Juan and his team replaced the outdoor soil and filled the holes to make sure the site was clean. April was glad she called American Waterworks to take care of her basement!
