Dean D. in Good Thunder, MN contacted us when he noticed that he had two severely bowing walls in his finished basement. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his walls, develop the right solution for his situation and provide him with a FREE estimate. We recommended installing wall anchors because they would permanently stabilize and start to straighten his walls and it would be far more cost-effective than replacing the foundation. He liked our solution and enjoyed working with our Specialist, so he scheduled the installation.

In order to get to the block foundation, we had to remove the drywall. We excavated the soil around the sides of the home with the bowing walls. This helps up straighten the walls back to their original position. Then we drilled small holes through the block foundation walls into the soil. We inserted long metal rods, and once the rods were in place, we secured each end with anchor plates. We tightened the anchors as far as they could go, and the wall started to straighten. Dean's basement walls have been permanently stabilized with the installation of the wall anchors. He is glad he chose to protect the foundation of his home.

Bowing Wall in Albany, MN

Before After
Bowing Wall in Albany, MN Bowing Wall in Albany, MN

A homeowner in Albany, MN, discovered a large horizontal crack along the west wall. Knowing that it was not a good sign, the homeowner looked for a second opinion. After hearing many positive reviews, the homeowner decided to work with American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After finalizing the appointment details, we sent out one of our Design Specialist, Ryan, to inspect the wall. The inspection concluded and Ryan discovered that the cause of the crack was due to the pressure of outside soil pressing on the wall. Ryan alerted the homeowners of the discovery and gave them his suggestions. After reviewing their options, the homeowners decide to utilize Ryan's suggestions. Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew traveled to the home and began repairs. First, the crew installed six Geo-Locks about five and a half feet apart. Once the Geo-Locks were put into place, the homeowners asked if a tightening kit was included. The crew showed the homeowners how to use the tightening kit and emphasized it would take some time. Once the crew finished, they cleaned the site and left the home. The homeowners were delighted that their wall was properly stabilized and would straighten with time. American Waterworks is happy to fulfill another customer's wishes.

Wall Failure Risk in Albany, MN

A homeowner in Albany, MN, was concerned regarding the growing crack along their basement wall. Before the crack could worsen, the homeowner sought to have a professional foundation repair company take a look. After many positive referrals, the homeowner decided to work with American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Ryan, to the home to take a look at the crack. Upon arrival, Ryan saw that the soil near the bowing wall was causing significant pressure. Without assistance, the wall will eventually fall apart and fail. Ryan suggested that the homeowner stabilize the wall with Geo-Lock anchors. The Geo-Lock wall anchor system is an innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. In addition to stabilizing your foundation, the Geo-Lock anchors can gradually straighten your walls over time. 

After the homeowner approved the plan, our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew arrived to begin the project. Tremaine and the crew started by prepping the west wall for the Geo-Lock installation. First, the crew carefully cuts out sections of the lawn to place the first anchor. Then, a steel pole is directed through the dirt to connect to the anchor attached to the interior foundation walls. After the Geo-Locks are put into place, the crew places the lawn back to make it appear like no work has been done. The homeowner asked to include the straightening kit, so they can straighten the wall over time. The homeowner was pleased with the job done by the crew. American Waterworks loves helping its customers feel safe in their homes again. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Dehumidifier Creates a Healthier Home in Good Thunder, MN

Robert D. in Good Thunder, MN was experiencing very high humidity in his basement. While he was visiting a local home show, he stopped at the American Waterworks booth to discuss his humidity challenges. One of our Design Specialists talked to him about his options and highly recommended having the SaniDry Upright put in his basement. Robert felt this was the most appropriate solution for his problem, so he set a time for an installer to come out.

The SaniDry uses a powerful blowing motor that circulates dry air throughout the space, aggressively drying out the basement. Collected water is then drained into a sump pump pit, a section of your perimeter drains, or away via a condensate pump. It can remove up to 109 liters of water per day. After Robert had the SaniDry installed in his basement, he noticed the humidity in his basement had dramatically decreased. He was pleased with his purchase and is glad his basement is protected from humidity.
