Weak Foundation Repaired in Brainerd, MN

In Brainerd, MN, a homeowner was beginning to notice the signs of a bad foundation. Over the years the homeowner had noted several concerning cracks beginning to form on the wall. As the years passed the cracks grew larger, and new cracks began to emerge. The homeowner was concerned that the symptoms of foundation issues would continue to worsen and compromise safety if she let the issue continue. She took to the internet and searched 'foundation repair mn' and quickly found American Waterworks. She looked through our reviews and was impressed with the sentiments people had left about our business, so she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later Nicola G, one of our Design Specialists in the area, was scheduled to stop at the home to see what could be done for the failing wall. When Nicola arrived she got right to work inspecting the basement. When she was finished she sat down with the homeowner to go over her findings. Nicola began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, but not from the side. When the pressure on the side of the wall becomes too much for it to withstand it is not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting, or shearing at the base of the wall. She went on to say that while the situation was serious, American Waterworks had the solution to restore the home. Nicola recommended our GeoLock earth anchor system. Our geo lock anchors use wall platers and threaded rods to anchor the failing wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner liked Nicola's plan so much she decided to schedule her project on the spot. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Jesus C, was out at the home installing the anchors. When he finished the job, he had installed 20 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement, successfully putting our customers concerns for her foundation failure in the past!
