A homeowner in Devils Lake, ND, was concerned that the cracks in their garage foundation were spreading. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowner began looking into repair options near them. Unsure where to begin, the homeowner started by looking at foundation repair companies in Fargo, ND. The homeowner's eye was caught by our impressive ratings and reviews, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Dylan. Soon after Dylan arrived, he began his thorough investigation of the basement. Following his walk-through, Dylan determined that the cause of the cracked garage foundation was settlement. To stop the cracking from continuing, Dylan recommended installing GeoLock Wall anchors to the west and north foundation walls. Once the homeowner approved the plans, they were sent to our Office to be approved. Once they received the final stamp of approval, they were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew. Kingsley and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. The crew began by preparing the cracked wall for the GeoLock installation. The crew attached seven GeoLock Wall Anchors to the garage foundation, three on the west wall and four on the north wall. Once the GeoLock Anchors were secure, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Derek G. in Dawson, MN was concerned about his wet basement and cracked foundation walls. He had inward bowing walls and water was seeping through. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to his home to evaluate the situation. Derek approved of the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date.

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. They installed 22 PowerBraces and secured them to the walls before laying the WaterGuard drainage system. Once the WaterGuard was laid, they installed our SuperSump and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, filled back the gaps in the concrete with rock, and replaced the concrete. The installation took a couple of days to complete, but Derek is now confident in the stability of his home, and he has peace of mind that his basement will remain dry. 

A male resident of Dawson, MN had a cracked and inward bowing foundation wall. He came across our booth at the IDEAg Farm Fest home show, where he spoke to our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the resident's house, carefully inspected their cracked foundation wall, and proposed our CarbonAmor Reinforcing Strips, which is a foundation repair system that strengthens and stabilizes cracked or bowed foundation walls. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed seven of our CarbonArmor Strips. This system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips and is ten times stronger than steel. The male resident was very happy with the work that was done and had a wonderful experience from start to finish!

Tyson C. in Walnut Grove, MN had three cracked walls in his basement. They had just started bowing and he knew it was only going to get worse.
