Our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home in several weeks and assessed the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the most common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by fluid. When the soil surrounding the foundation gets saturated with water, it puts tremendous pressure on the walls. Once the pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see bowing, sheeting, and cracks in the foundation walls. Due to this reason, Daniel recommended our PowerBrace. He explained to the homeowner that our PowerBrace is installed by first cutting the braces so that it fits the height of the wall. Then, the top of the brace is attached to a floor joist at the top of the wall. The crew would then straighten the brace and attach it to the floor. Alongside stabilizing the foundation walls, our PowerBrace has the potential to straighten the walls over time. The homeowner was grateful for Daniel's explanation and agreed to his suggestion. Daniel's plans were then sent to our Foreman, Diego B., for the installation. 

In a couple of months, Diego and his crew arrived at the home. They installed a total of three of our PowerBrace. Once they were done with the project, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Adrian, MN became concerned when she noticed certain areas of her floors starting to sag. She was unaware of how long the problem had been building up and wanted to contact someone that could help her find a solution before it was too late. She found the American Waterworks website online and our FREE no obligation estimate service caught her eye. She scheduled an appointment and was met a few weeks later by Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric informed her that over time a floor may start sinking due to settling or expansive soils. He explained that by installing our SmartJack floor support system, her floors would stop settling and even raise back up to where it was originally. She agreed to the plans and Eric sent them over to our Foreman, Raul Barroso and his crew. When they arrived at the house, they prepped the area and carefully installed the SmartJacks. The heavy-duty rods allowed for adjustments and made a custom fit for the homeowner's house. She was relieved that the issue was stopped and that her floors no longer had a sinking problem.
