Bowing Wall Corrected in Clear Lake, IA

A homeowner from Clear Lake, IA, was in need of a foundation repair specialist. Over the years he had noticed new and worsening cracks on basement walls, and was growing concerned about how the problem would impact the future resale of the home. Through the recommendation of friends and family, he found American Waterworks and claimed his FREE estimate. Some time later, our Design Specialist, Brady S, was headed out to the home to see how we could help. 

After Brady finished his inspection, he sat down with the homeowner to go over his findings. First, Brady acknowledged that the wall was indeed failing. Brady informed the owner that basement walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side, so when the pressure becomes too much for the wall to withstand, its not uncommon to see cracking or bowing. He went on to say that we could correct the issue with the help of our PowerBrace wall system. This patented foundation wall repair system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. The homeowner was thrilled to know the fix was so simple, and decided to book the project with Brady on the spot.  

When the day of the project eventually rolled around, our Foreman, Jesus Martinez, and his crew wasted no time getting to work. They finished the project efficient and effectively, putting an end to our customers worries for the structural integrity of the home. Now he can proceed with selling the home know that the foundation is stable for the long run.
