Before & After Photos

Steve and Kerry S. of Coon Valley, WI had a big crack in the foundation wall of their garage, causing them to worry about its structural build and stability. They saw one of our advertisements in their local newspaper so they called our office line to schedule a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, examined their wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchor Repair System. Steve and Kerry got all of their questions answered about the product, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by digging holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. From the inside of the garage, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the house. On the ends of each rod, our team installed an anchor plate that holds the rod in place in the soil. Next, our team installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor at the end of each rod on the interior foundation. This process stops inward movement and cracking, and allows the foundation to move back into its original position. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team backfilled each hole outside of the home, compacted the soil, and ensured that the yard and garage looked neater than when they found it. Steve and Kerry were very satisfied with the work that was completed and had a great experience from appointment to installation!

A property manager in Eau Claire, WI, noticed stair-step cracking along the basement of the home and was concerned for its stability. Knowing the issue would need expert attention, the manager began looking into foundation repair contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the manager contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took note of the cracks along the basement walls as well as some areas beginning to cave in. Dustin recommended our GeoLock. GeoLock is our wall anchor system that can permanently stabilize foundation walls. Dustin explained that Geolock is installed by first digging a hole into the hard-packed soil that is several feet away from the foundation. An earth anchor is then placed in that hole and is attached to the interior wall. Both wall plates would be connected by a small steel pole, which would run through the ground. This system prevents basement walls from continuing to move and can be tightened to straighten walls over time. The homeowner happily agreed to Dustin's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Luis D., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed a total of 11 GeoLock anchors. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their workspace and equipment before leaving the home.

Jim Grinder in Eau Claire, WI had a bowing foundation wall that was concerning him. He felt it was important to have a foundation repair expert take a look at it, so he gave American Waterworks a call. One of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, went to Jim’s home to provide him with a free onsite estimate. Chad recommended that we install wall anchors to permanently stabilize his wall. Jim was pleased with the proposal that Chad put together, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling holes into the brick wall and inserting long metal rods that go into the soil outside of the home. Then, the rod is secured with anchors on each end. Once they tightened the anchors, the wall started to straighten. The anchors can continue to be tightened over time, to continue straightening the wall. Jim’s wall in now secure because of the wall anchor installation, and he has confidence that he chose the right company because our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty.
