A Decorah, IA, homeowner was in the process of transforming their unfinished basement into a living space. For the project to be code-compliant, the homeowner learned that they needed to have a means of egress in the basement. The homeowner took to the internet to look for an 'egress window well near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After viewing other egress jobs we had done in the area, the homeowner decided to claim his FREE, no-obligation estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to perform his inspection. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan informed him that we could certainly add an egress window in the basement of the home. Our RockWell window wells offer an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. These window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the wall walls. They're UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell's egress windows feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural light and fresh air to enter the space. Finally, RockWell has mimicked the look of real stone so you don't have to look out of your new basement windows at a plastic-looking well. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's approach and signed on the spot for the project. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his team were headed out to the home to install the egress window well. When they had finished the project, the basement was adorned with a new egress window well and our homeowner was thrilled to know his project could continue on schedule!

Tom from Center City, MN was starting to notice cracks forming in his block foundation, which appeared to be worsening over time. tom was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he could run the risk of the problem worsening, creating a large, and more hazardous issue later. After doing some research, he came across our company. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation estimate by a member of our Design Specialist team. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he had completed his walkthrough, he recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the issue. Our Salesman explained to Tom that the GeoLock anchors are the preferred method of straightening as they extend out to the stable, hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall, effectively pulling the wall back into place.  Tom agreed with the recommendation and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jose C, and his team ended up installing 12 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Once the project was complete, Tom was happy to know that he no longer needed to worry about his cracked foundation!
