Foundation Walls Repaired in Slayton, MN

Josh M. of Slayton, MN had cracks along his foundation wall, and he wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible. He heard about American Waterworks on the radio, so he decided to give our office a call. Our customer care department set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to his home to carefully inspect the foundation wall and come up with a solution. Josh got all of his questions answered about the repairs, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team began the installation by digging five holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. Next, our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of each rod, our team tightened and secured a GeoLock Wall Anchor. This wall anchor system will permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed, compact soil. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall. To complete the project, our team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the yard looking neater than when they found it. Josh was very happy with the final product! 

Failing Floor Restored in Adrian, MN

A homeowner in Adrian, MN became concerned when she noticed certain areas of her floors starting to sag. She was unaware of how long the problem had been building up and wanted to contact someone that could help her find a solution before it was too late. She found the American Waterworks website online and our FREE no obligation estimate service caught her eye. She scheduled an appointment and was met a few weeks later by Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric informed her that over time a floor may start sinking due to settling or expansive soils. He explained that by installing our SmartJack floor support system, her floors would stop settling and even raise back up to where it was originally. She agreed to the plans and Eric sent them over to our Foreman, Raul Barroso and his crew. When they arrived at the house, they prepped the area and carefully installed the SmartJacks. The heavy-duty rods allowed for adjustments and made a custom fit for the homeowner's house. She was relieved that the issue was stopped and that her floors no longer had a sinking problem.
