Wall Anchors Stabilize Wall in Eastman, WI

Jeff and Heidi B. of Eastman, WI had cracked walls in their basement, making them feel nervous and unsafe living in their home. After doing some research on our website, they called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen. Jeremy went to their home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Jeff and Heidi felt comfortable with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by digging 11 holes outside of the home. Next, Juan and his team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside of the basement, through the foundation, to each hole outside of the home. Our team tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the ends of each rod to pull the walls back and stabilize them into their natural positions. To complete the project, Juan and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Jeff and Heidi were thrilled with the work completed and had a remarkable experience from beginning to end!

Failing Garage Stabilized in Norwalk, WI

A homeowner from Norwalk, WI, had been monitoring his garage for some time. Over the years, he had noticed the formation of several cracks in the foundation. The cracks had progressed so much that the homeowner could tell the wall was beginning to bow inward. He knew he had to act fast to save his garage so he began to look for WI foundation repair. On the recommendation of a local contractor, he was directly to us. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the space. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was experiencing structural issues due to excess force being pushed on the wall from the side. He went on to say that he wanted to use our Channel Anchors to address the issue. GeoLock® Channel Anchors are a versatile, effective system that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan, and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of  Channel Anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his foundation is stable!

He saw an American Waterworks commercial on television, so he called our office line and scheduled a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to his home, thoroughly diagnosed the foundation cracks, and drew out a detailed solution that worked for Jon and his needs. After a clear and in-depth inspection, Jon was confident in Mac's plan, so he signed the contract and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his production team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which is a special system that stabilizes foundation walls, providing it with the ability to straighten to its normal position. Because of the way it is designed, anchors can be installed on interior and exterior foundation walls. Each anchor is connected by a long, steel rod to a wall plate that gives the clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Over time, homeowners can tighten the anchors to ensure the system is sticking to its trusted design. The installation typically takes one to two days and can be installed year-round!

PowerBrace and GeoLocks Install in Viroqua, WI

A homeowner in Viroqua, WI, knew they had a large repair job on their hands. Overwhelmed by all the issues with their foundation, the homeowner knew they needed to have a professional inspect their home. The homeowner remembered seeing an American Waterworks vehicle in their neighborhood, so they went to our website to do some more research into our company. After seeing all the services we provide, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chuck, to the home to complete the estimate. When Chuck arrived, he began his inspection of the basement and found several issues. Chuck's main concern was the status of the home's foundation. After alerting the homeowner, he provided them with a solution that would permanently stabilize their foundation. Chuck recommended installing GeoLocks and PowerBraces around the perimeter of the basement. The homeowner agreed with Chuck's recommendations, so the plans were directed to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. After the crew arrived at the home, they immediately began their work. First, the crew installed 20 GeoLock anchors around the basement. Then, the crew installed four PowerBraces on the east foundation wall. The crew successfully installed all the foundation stabilization products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed by the excellent work done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize another home's foundation.
