Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was in the process of remodeling his home when he tore out a large section of drywall and uncovered a large crack in his basement wall, which seemed to be bowing inward. The homeowner did some research on his own and wondered if foundation anchors would save the basement. The homeowner knew he was in over his head, so he took to the internet to search for 'residential foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was out at the home. 

Chuck performed his inspection and then met with the homeowner. He began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Chuck could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy with the diagnosis, so he quickly reassured the homeowner that we could help remedy the issue. He informed the homeowner that his assumption hadn't been far off and that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors. Chuck elaborated, stating that this innovative system works to counteract foundation failure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing your basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team effortlessly installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem walls in the basement. Now, our customer can continue the remodel, knowing that their foundation will stand the test of time!

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, knew their home was not properly supported. Knowing they could not repair the crawl space supports themselves, the homeowner began searching for "crawl space stabilization repair near La Crosse, WI". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. Once Ryan arrived, he began his thorough inspection of the crawl space. During his inspection, Ryan confirmed the crawl space supports needed to be repaired. Ryan recommended installing SmartJacks to permanently stabilize the struggling area. After hearing Ryan's proposal, the homeowner knew this was their best plan of action. Next, Ryan sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and approve the project. Once the project was given the final stamp of approval, the proposal was passed along to our Foreman, Jose, and his crew. The following month, Jose and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Jose and his team made sure the space was ready for installation.
