Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ryan B. of Stoddard, WI had a crack in his foundation wall, causing him to worry about the stability of his home. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE inspection with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to Ryan's home, carefully examined his foundation wall, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. He was confident in Rick's proposal of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, so he followed through with the project and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production manager began the project by digging small holes outside the home, beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, Tremaine and his crew inserted a long, steel rod through to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew installed an anchor and a wall plate which provides the pressure to make the system work. Our anchors extend out to the hard-packed soil, anchoring themselves and bracing the foundation wall, which stops inward movement. Over time, our anchors can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the outdoor space was neater than when they found it.

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was in the process of remodeling his home when he tore out a large section of drywall and uncovered a large crack in his basement wall, which seemed to be bowing inward. The homeowner did some research on his own and wondered if foundation anchors would save the basement. The homeowner knew he was in over his head, so he took to the internet to search for 'residential foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was out at the home. 

Chuck performed his inspection and then met with the homeowner. He began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Chuck could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy with the diagnosis, so he quickly reassured the homeowner that we could help remedy the issue. He informed the homeowner that his assumption hadn't been far off and that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors. Chuck elaborated, stating that this innovative system works to counteract foundation failure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing your basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team effortlessly installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem walls in the basement. Now, our customer can continue the remodel, knowing that their foundation will stand the test of time!

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was worried about his basement. One of his foundation walls had a large crack running lengthwise on the wall. He was worried that if he let the issue worsen, it might compromise the structural integrity of the home. He decided to look for foundation repair Wisconsin, and quickly found our website. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was out at the home. 

After Mac concluded his estimate inspection, he met with the homeowner and informed him that he was experiencing foundation issues because the wall was facing pressure from the side. Foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side.  When the pressure becomes too much for the wall to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac went on to reassure the homeowner that there was a solution: our GeoLock anchors. This innovative system counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation.
