A homeowner in Elgin, IA had a dirt floor crawl space. She was interested in having it encapsulated, because she noticed that she was losing heat and energy from the space and moisture had started accumulating in there. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with her, evaluate the situation, and propose the best, custom designed solution to fit her needs. She was impressed with the presentation and our products, and she moved forward with the installation.  

Our production crew installed our installed CleanSpace along the dirt floor and spray foam insulation in the rim joists. The combination of these products ensure the crawl space will remain a clean, energy efficient space. It also protects the crawl space from any moisture building up and improves the air quality in the home.

Job Stories From Elgin, IA
Block Foundation Repair in Elgin, IA

In Elgin, IA, a homeowner had noticed stair-step cracking along their block foundation wall. Knowing the issue would only worsen without the right long-term solution, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair contractors around the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their home repair journey. They soon contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate with one of our trained experts.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Brady S., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Brady used our advanced tools to see how far the foundation had shifted and determined the areas that needed stabilizing. He also explained to the homeowner how hydrostatic pressure is one of the most common causes of a shifting foundation. When it rains, water pools around the home and soaks into the soil, making it expand and heavy. This pressure is then applied against the foundation. When this pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see cracking, bowing, and shearing of the walls. After explaining this and reporting his findings to the homeowner, Brady created a detailed solution. He recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that redirects the pressure against the foundation to stable soil. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Kevin M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began the installation by digging into the soil several feet away from the foundation. Then, the earth anchor is placed inside and attached to the interior wall plate. These are then connected by a small steel pole that runs through the ground. Once both plates are attached, they are tightened. The crew successfully installed 5 GeoLock wall anchors.
