Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Dennison, MN, was down in his basement one day when he realized his basement wall seemed to be tilting inward. He had been aware of several large cracks forming in the foundation and knew that this was the final indicator that he needed to seek professional help to restore the wall. He began to look for foundation repair MN and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our reviews and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, headed out to the home. After conducting a thorough inspection of the issue, Brian informed the homeowner that he wanted to use our Channel Anchors to address the failing wall. He explained that this system is versatile and effective and can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting 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. This warrantied solution includes a complete wall anchor system and a channel anchor that mounts on your foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Raul B, and his team successfully installed 5 of our Channel Anchors throughout the basement. Now, our homeowner can breathe easy knowing his foundation worries are in the past! 

Christina M. in Forest City, IA noticed some cracking and bowing of her basement wall and was concerned about the pressure that was being put on her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to inspect her home and provide her with the best solution. Ryan developed a thorough, unique proposal to permanently restore her foundation. Christina approved of the plan and scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. Wall anchors should be tightened over time to continue the process of straightening the damaged wall. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing completely and now Christina’s peace of mind is restored knowing her foundation is permanently stabilized.

Our Service Technician, Mitchell Sobotta, was at her home for an annual maintenance and talked to her about our PowerBrace Wall Repair System for her foundation problems.
