Bowing Foundation in Litchville, ND

A homeowner in Litchvile, ND, noticed one of their foundation walls was worsening over time. It was time to have the foundation inspected by a professional, so the homeowner started their search. After investigating on the internet, the homeowner came across our award-winning foundation repair productions. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. When the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. When the Design Specialist arrived, they introduced themselves to the homeowner and began the investigation of the foundation. The Design Specialist discovered the wall was showing signs of wall failure. To stop the wall failure progression, the Design Specialist recommended permanently stabilizing the foundation walls. The homeowner agreed with the Design Specialist's recommendation and the production preparations began. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. After they arrived, the crew prepared the wall for the GeoLock anchors. Once the wall was ready, the crew installed five GeoLock anchors on the west foundation wall. After the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their workspace and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their foundation was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe and stable.

Bowing Walls Stabilized with Wall Anchors in Hendricks, MN

Adam in Hendricks, MN was concerned about the cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radkte, to his home to inspect his basement, develop a solution and provide him with a FREE estimate! Jeremy put together a thorough plan to permanently repair Adam’s foundation using wall anchors.

Our production crew started installing the wall anchors by drilling small holes through his foundation walls and inserting long metal rods. They also dug small holes in the soil surrounding the home that lined up with the holes drilled in the walls. Then, they secured both ends of the rods with anchor plates and tightened them. The installation only took a couple of days to complete, and now Adam’s foundation is permanently stabilized.

Foundation Repair in Arco, MN

Ryan and Rachel W. of Arco, MN had a bowing foundation wall, causing them to worry about the safety and stability of their house. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks on Google. After looking through our services, Ryan and Rachel got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist inspected their foundation wall and determined the causes of why their wall was bowing inward, so he proposed our Wall Anchor Repair System. Our wall anchors stabilize foundation walls and bring them back to their original position. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, our team inserted long, metal rods from the inside to the outside to where the holes were dug. Our team screwed on and tightened an anchor to the end of each rod, extending out to the compacted soil beyond their home, anchored themselves there, and braced the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the yard was neater than when they found it.
