Challenge

Mike S. in Rogers, MN had a stair-step like crack in one of his basement foundation walls. He was concerned about the underlying effects this problem could be having on his home. Foundation problems can cause severe structural damage, pose a safety issue and can be the source of entry for water and pests. Damage to a foundation can also reduce the value of the home by 10-20%.

Solution

American Waterworks was able to permanently repair that foundation wall by installing three PowerBraces. A PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that stabilizes failing basement walls and they provide the potential to straighten walls over time. They are installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation repair system installs quickly and permanently halts the inward movement of the foundation wall.
