Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Wall Repair in Grand Forks, ND

Jarod C. of Grand Forks, MN had a bowing wall in his basement and he was worried about the structural build and stability of his home. He saw American Waterworks and pictures of our installations on Angie's List, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, inspection his wall, and came up with a solution that fit his home repair needs. Jarod was confident in Richie's proposal and presentation of our wall anchors, so he went ahead with the installation.  Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the project by digging five small holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. Inside the home, our team traced five anchors to fill the length of the wall. From there, our crew cut out the traced parts of the wall until it met with the sheetrock. Then, our crew inserted a long, medal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. At the end of the rod inside of the home, our team installed a wall anchor, and on the other end of the rod outside, our team installed an anchor plate, tightening both of them in order to straighten and stabilize the bowing wall. After doing that to each of the other rods, our team covered the anchors with our Hide-A-Way covers. These covers provide the finishing touch for wall anchors and conceals the anchors while still allowing for periodic tightening of the system. To complete the installation, Corey and his crew backfilled each of the hole and compacted the soil with a steel temper. Jarod was happy with the repairs and had a great experience!  Are your foundation walls failing? Click HERE to learn more about the foundation repair products that we provide for homeowners!
