Before & After Photos

A Sparta, WI homeowner noticed their foundation walls were uneven and cracked. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner sought a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "cracked, bowing foundation repair near Sparta, WI". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on the website 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, Chuck. After he arrived at the home, Chuck began his thorough inspection of the basement. Chuck started his thorough inspection and found that several walls were suffering from wall failure. To stop the wall failure from continuing, Chuck recommended installing several GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The homeowner agreed with Chuck's recommendations, so the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to build and approve the plans. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, they scheduled the project for the following month. After the project date arrived, our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First. Jose and his crew made sure the walls were ready for installation. Once the walls were ready, Jose and his crew installed five GeoLock Wall Anchors to the north wall. After the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist their homeowner in repairing their damaged walls.

James from Stanley, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his shed were beginning to show signs of cracking, indicating wall failure. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would face more serious wall failure down the road or water intrusion from the cracks. We set him up with our FREE estimate when he called our office. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Chuck, headed out to the property to see what could be done to help fix the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he had a few recommendations. First, he wanted to use our Geo-Lock Channel Anchors and GeoLock Anchors to fix the cracking wall. He explained to James that our wall anchors are designed to be quick, with minimal disturbance to your home or landscaping. He went on to say that the Channel Anchors would immediately stabilize walls pushing in at the bottom by connecting to an earth anchor embedded in the soil. He then said that our GeoLock anchors help the bowing walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew ended up installing 4 channel anchors as well as 13 of our GeoLock anchors around the perimeter of the shed as well as an unattached boathouse. Now James can have peace of mind knowing his shed's foundation will be stable for years to come.
