Ms. Eastland had discovered her home was exposing her to high levels of radon gas, almost 3x the acceptable limit.  In order to properly mitigate the gas from her home, American Waterworks needed to seal off the dirt crawlspace located on the North side of her basement. By combining our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo wall insulation systems, American Waterworks was able to create a suction point in the crawl space to pull the radon from within the home and expel it outside the house.

Job Stories From Albert Lea, MN
Failing Basement Walls Get Stabilized in Albert Lea, MN

An Albert Lea, MN, homeowner was down in her basement one day when she noticed a large crack running lengthwise on one of her walls. She was worried about what this could mean for her basement, so she decided to begin to search for structural foundation repair near Albert Lea, MN. When she found the American Waterworks website, she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the property. 

Ryan completed his inspection estimate, paying close attention to the failing basement wall. When he finished, he was ready to deliver his recommendations. Ryan began informing the homeowner that Foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt in at the top. Rebuilding damaged walls may seem like the obvious (and expensive) answer, but even new walls will fail if the soil conditions are not changed. Ryan wanted to use our GeoLock wall anchors, which can counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside your home. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall, wall anchors can even be used to straighten walls in many cases! The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendation, and the job was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Production crew arrived bright and early at the property. Led by their Foreman, Lane S, the crew successfully installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the failing basement wall. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that her foundation issues have been handled.

Damaged Foundation Restored in Albert Lea, MN

Alton in Albert Lea, MN had large cracks throughout his basement walls. He was concerned about the pressure that was being placed on his foundation and wanted to secure his walls before the damage became any worse. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his situation and provide him with a FREE estimate. Pete determined that we would be able to permanently repair his foundation by installing PowerBraces, which is a much more cost-effective solution compared to replacing the foundation. Alton was pleased with Pete’s solution, so they scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed 7 PowerBraces against the walls. PowerBraces are strong steel I-beams that have a special rust-resistant zinc coating to ensure that your system will look and perform like new for years to come. By installing the PowerBraces, we immediately halted the inward movement of the foundation walls. The PowerBraces should be tightened over time, which can gradually straighten the walls. Alton was pleased with the end result and he is glad he chose to permanently restore his foundation.
