Tom and Cindy S. in Hector, MN had a bowed foundation wall in their basement that needed to be looked at. We sent out our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, for a Free Estimate to figure out what the best solution would be. Shane had to take off the wood wall panels to see what the wall looked like, and he determined that wall anchors were the best way to fix the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew began the installation by digging 5 small holes outside of the house parallel to the bowed wall and inserted long, metal rods through the foundation and into the soil. Then, they screwed on and tightened anchor plates on each side enabling the wall to straighten out. Our anchor system is made with a 25-year warranty and is corrosion-resistant. After the installation, Tom and Cindy were happy with the work that was done and love their new wall!

A homeowner in Hector, MN, was rummaging through their basement when they noticed a concerning large crack along their back foundation wall. Knowing they couldn't fix this on their own, the homeowner decided to look for professional help. The homeowner began searching for the foundation repair closest to them, and our company caught their eye. After looking through our foundation repair services, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. Once the estimate details were set, one of our Design Specialist, Ryan, made their way to the home. After Ryan arrived at the home, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began evaluating the foundation. Ryan determined that the foundation walls needed to be permanently stabilized. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and production commenced. Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew were assigned to complete the project, so they made their way out to the home. The crew began by installing eight GeoLock anchors along the east and south foundation walls. Additionally, the crew installed four PowerBraces on the west foundation wall. The homeowner also requested that the tightening kit be included, so the walls can be straightened gradually over time. The crew successfully stabilized both walls and finished the project. The homeowners were relieved to know that their walls were saved from possible failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind in their home.

Job Stories From Hector, MN
Foundation Repaired in Hector, MN

A homeowner in Hector, MN, was organizing their basement when they noticed several, large cracks on many of their foundation walls. Knowing this was not a good sign, the homeowner decided to have a professional inspect their walls. The homeowner began their search and came across our website. After seeing we offer an impressive list of services, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Quickly after the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Kevin, one of our Design Specialists. Kevin performed a thorough examination of the basement, finding that it was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure from progressing, Kevin recommended that the walls be permanently stabilized. After showing them many versions of a solution, the homeowner chose the one that was best for their situation. Once the version was selected, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Foreman, Matt, and his crew. After they arrived, they began by installing the GeoLocks, our innovative wall anchor system. To install the GeoLocks, the crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. Once the GeoLocks were installed, the crew shifted their focus to installing the PowerBraces on the wall. PowerBraces is a patented foundation wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and has the potential to straighten over time. To install the PowerBraces, the crew begins by cutting the wall braces. Next, the PowerBraces are secured into the floor joist hardware and fine-tuned into the correct position. Then, the PowerBraces are attached to the floor with a special, bolt-in-place bracket. After the PowerBraces were secured, the homeowner cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were thankful to know their walls were secured and no longer at risk of wall failure. If you see growing cracks in your wall, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
