Local Crawl Space Repair in Detroit Lakes, MN

A homeowner from Detroit Lakes, MN, was down in her heated crawl space arranging some boxes when she did a double take. One of her crawl space walls appeared to be tilting inward. The homeowner was in the process of prepping her home for sale and knew a bowed foundation wall would not make the cut. She began to search for local crawl space repair in Detroit Lakes, and quickly found American Waterworks. She was impressed with our years in business, numerous awards, and 4.8/5 star rating on Google, so she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Derek Wang, one of our Fargo Design Specialists, was headed out to her home. When Derek arrived, he was lead to the crawl space where he began his evaluation. When he finished his comprehensive estimate he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. 

Derek began by commending the homeowner for getting help. He said that a large majority of people would wait to address the issue, which would end up costing more money in the long run. Derek went on to say that foundation walls are designed to withstand the load of your home from above. When too much pressure is put on the side of the wall, the wall becomes weakened, leading to cracks, bowing, tilting, and foundation shifting. Derek stated that the solution was our GeoLock wall anchors. This innovative system stabilizes failing walls by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, providing a less-intrusive and messy option over full replacement of the wall. The homeowner was glad to know that the fix wasn't extremely invasive or time consuming, and decided to schedule the basement wall anchors on the spot. 

A month later, our Foreman, Nanga M, and his crew effortlessly installed 8 of our GeoLock anchors within the crawl space, effectively putting an end to our customers concerns and allowing her to list her home on the market with no reservations.
