Challenge

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, knew it was time to repair the struggling foundation and replace their deck supports. Hoping to find a company that could do both, the homeonwer searched for "foundation repair and stabilization near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services.

Solution

Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brady. A few weeks later, Brady traveled to the home to begin a thorough foundation inspection. During the inspection, Brady confirmed the foundation and deck supports were suffering from settlement. To prevent this issue from worsening, Brady recommended securing GeoLocks along the damaged foundation walls, then installing Helical Piers below the sinking deck posts. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brady to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Jose and his crew started by securing GeoLock wall Anchors on the damaged foundation walls. Once the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew shifted to replacing the bottom of the deck supports with Helical Piers. Once both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
