Wall Crack Growing in Hutchinson, MN

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, grew concerned about the large growing crack along their west wall. Knowing it was time to have a professional investigate the status of the wall, the homeowner began looking through their options. The homeowners were scrolling through Facebook when they came across one of our digital advertisements. Interested, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to our website. The homeowner saw our list of services and was impressed by our quality of service. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner decided to sign up for theirs. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Upon Eric's arrival, he inspected the status of their basement. Eric discovered that the wall showed early signs of failure due to hydrostatic pressure. To stop the failure, Eric suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. The homeowner agreed and the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home and began unloading their materials to begin the stabilization. The crew installed eight GeoLock anchors, our innovative wall anchor system, to the interior west wall. Along with the GeoLocks, the crew included a tightening kit. This kit will allow the walls to be straightened over time. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased to know their wall was no longer at risk of wall failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide reassurance to its customers.

Michael O. of Isle, MN started seeing vertical cracks in his foundation, and he wanted to get them looked at by a professional before anything got worse.

Failing Basement Walls Get Stabilized in Buffalo Lake, MN

A Hutchinson, MN, couple got in touch with us when they noticed that stair-step cracks were forming on their basement walls. Worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home, they began the search for MN foundation repair companies. When they found our website, they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Lance S, headed out to their home to evaluate the issues. 

Once Lance completed his walkthrough, he informed the homeowners that American Waterworks could address the failing foundation with the help of our GeoLock wall anchors. Lance explained that this innovative wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. He went on to say that after installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The couple liked the sound of having a system that could be stabilized as time goes on, and decided to schedule the project for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team ended up installing 14 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the lower level of the home. Now our customers can rest easy knowing their foundation issues have been addressed!
