Garage Gets Stabilized in Savage, MN

A customer from Savage, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his detached garage were beginning to show signs of cracking and bowing inwards. He was afraid that, if left untreated, the problem would continue to worsen, and could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the home. When he called, 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, one of our Design Specialists, Jarrett, headed out to the home to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could fix the issue. Jarrett wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the situation. He explained to our customer that our GeoLock anchors work to stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten and stabilize the wall. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after that. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew wound up installing 8 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the garage quickly and efficiently. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his garage!

Sinking Deck Gets Stabilized in Chisago City, MN

Rhonda from Chisago City, MN, enlisted our services when she began to notice that her deck was beginning to sink and pull away from the rest of her home. She worried that if she left the issue unresolved that she would run the risk of the deck collapsing completely which could become costly to fix at that stage. When she called into the office we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a 3-hour inspection by a member of our Sales team. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property for his walkthrough. Once completed, he was able to recommend some of our services that he felt would best fit Rhonda's situation. Shane wanted to address the failing wall by using our helical piers to stabilize the structure. He explained to Rhonda that these piers would be the best fit because they're specifically geared to work for a lighter structure such as decks or concrete stairs. To add extra strength, he wanted to use our ShotLock system, which is the encasing of our PowerBrace system behind a layer of rebar and steel mesh and 4-6' of concrete. Our PowerBrace system is made of galvanized steel I-beams that are used to strengthen and stabilize a wall and can be tightened over time as the home settles more. Rhonda agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Matt Z, ended up installing 6 of our helical piers and 15ft of ShotLock around the perimeter of the deck. These particular products cause minimal disturbance to the homeowner's lawn and landscaping. When the job was completed, Rhonda was pleased to know her deck was sturdy and would stay that way for a long time to come.
