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!

Cracked Foundation Wall in Tomah, WI

Jon V. of Tomah, WI had a cracked exterior foundation wall, causing him to worry about the structural support of his home. 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!

Bowing Wall Fixed in Tomah, WI

A homeowner from Tomah, WI, had been worried about the foundation of her home for some time now. Over the years, several large cracks had become visible on one of the walls, leading the customer to fear that there could be something wrong with the home's structural integrity. The homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in her area. She had knowledge of our services and often saw our logo'd cars around town, so she called us up and set up her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. When Chuck arrived, he wasted no time entering the basement to see the cracks for himself. Once he concluded his estimate, he met with the homeowner, explaining that the bowing could be from various factors. However, he had the solution. He wanted to use our CarbonArmor reinforcement system to address the bowing wall. He explained that CarbonArmor can help reinforce your bowing walls and repair cracks. They are made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10x stronger than steel and is specifically designed to reinforce and stabilize basement walls. While this system will not restore the wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks, and because the straps don't protrude on the wall like other solutions, the repair can easily be covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and signed up for her job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 7 of our Carbon Armor straps around the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her foundation deterioration has been halted!
