Cracking and Bowing Walls Stabilized in Clear Lake, IA

Thursday, January 8th, 2026 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

To start the new year, a homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, wanted to repair the slightly bowed and cracked walls. Knowing they could not repair this issue themselves, the homeowner began searching for "foundation buckling repair near me." One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan.

Solution

Ryan promptly arrived at the home and started a detailed inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Ryan noted that several areas were suffering from foundation issues. To prevent these issues from worsening, Ryan recommended securing GeoLock Wall Anchors on the struggling walls. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to find the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Raul and his crew started by securing six GeoLock Wall Anchors on the struggling walls. Once the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly secured.
