Failing Wall Gets GeoLocks in Montevideo, MN

A customer from Montevideo, MN got in touch with us when a crack began forming on his block basement wall. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric H. headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could help correct the issue. Because the wall was beginning to bow inward, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the problem. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system would permanently stabilize the foundation of the home by anchoring the wall to the virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after the initial installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull them back into its original position. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his crew ended up strategically installing 5 GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that his foundation worries were in the past! 

Failing Wall Stabilized in Montevideo, MN

A Montevideo, MN, homeowner was in his garage one day when he noticed a large crack running lengthwise on the furthest wall. He was immediately worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of his home, so he decided to find a MN-based foundation repair company. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed a thorough inspection of the foundation of the garage and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings and recommendations. Ryan began by stating that the homeowner was seeing cracking because there was an excess amount of pressure being applied to the wall from the exterior. He went on to say that our GeoLock anchors would help, as this system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed and undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. The homeowner was thrilled with the plan and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, the project was underway. In the end, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team installed 6 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem wall, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in his largest investment!

Basement Wall Gets Stabilized in Echo, MN

GeoLocks Stabilized Wall in Sherburn, MN

A homeowner in Sherburn, MN, knew it was time to have the large crack in their foundation wall inspected by a professional. Not sure who to work with, the homeowner asked some friends for recommendations. Several of their friends recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our site and was impressed by foundation repair services, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. Once he arrived, Dylan began his detailed inspection of the foundation wall and basement. Following his inspection, Dylan determined that the foundation walls required permanent stabilization. Dylan also warned the homeowners if this goes unfixed, the wall will eventually fail. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's recommendations, and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew made their way out to the home to begin the project. First, the crew prepared the basement for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall anchor system that will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. On the north wall, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors. Additionally, the homeowners requested to have the tightening kit included with the GeoLocks. The crew completed the installation and cleaned up their site. The homeowners were grateful to know their walls were no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to give another customer peace of mind.
