Foundation Repair Case Studies: Damaged Foundation Repaired with Wall Anchors in Edgerton, MN

Challenge

Jen B. in Edgerton, MN noticed some large cracks in the foundation along the walls in her basement. The walls had started to bow, and she was worried about the potential problems her damaged foundation could cause. She wanted to protect her home, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to evaluate the situation. She approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Solution

We successfully stabilized Jen’s foundation by installing eight wall anchors along the damaged walls. Our crew drilled long metal rods through the walls into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they secured the rods by placing plates on each end and tightening them. The process took less than two days and now Jen’s foundation is permanently repaired and backed by a lifetime warranty.
