Cracked Foundation Stabilized in Albert Lea, MN

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, had been concerned for the stabilization of their foundation walls due to the multiple cracks that had formed. Needing expert advice, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE foundation estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist Brady S. arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the foundation walls, noting where the cracks had formed. Brady then created a proposal recommending GeoLock, our wall anchor system, to permanently stabilize the walls. Happy to know that the GeoLocks can be straightened over time, the homeowner agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus M., and his crew arrived to install 12 GeoLock wall anchors. Once the slabs had been successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind their foundation walls are permanently stabilized! Looking for warrantied foundation repair solutions? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

Foundation Wall Repair in Mayer, MN

Brittany and Matt R. of Mayer, MN had cracked and bowing foundation walls in their home, making them worry about the structural build and safety of their home. They went online and came across our website on Google. After looking through our foundation repair products, they saw that we provide FREE Estimates for all of our services. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home, carefully inspected their foundation walls, and came up with the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors to solve the problem. Brittany and Matt were comfortable with Shane's proposal and the product, so they signed the contract and went ahead with the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrbuias, and his crew began the installation by digging seven holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. Next, our team drilled a long, medal rod from the inside of the home to each hole outside. Once they found the end of the rod in each hole, they screwed on and tightened an anchor plate, which tightly holds the rod in place with the soil. Our team screwed on and tightened a GeoLock Anchor to the ends of each rod inside of the home to strengthen and straighten the foundation wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, Jesus and his crew backfilled each hole and made sure the soil was tight and compact, leaving the yard looking much neater than when they found it. Brittany and Matt were happy with the work and could not believe it only took one day!

Foundation Repair in Plymouth, IA

Dan and Nancy M. of Plymouth, IA had a bowing retaining timber wall, causing them to worry about the value of their home and property. They went on our website and came across our foundation repair products, where he learned that we would be able to fix his issue. He set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan. Ryan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors.

Our Foreman and his crew began the installation by putting block wood over the cracked foundation and inserting five long, metal rods into the wall and tightening and screwing a wall anchor to each rod. This system stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed soil beyond the foundation. After the installation, the wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall and pull it back to its original position.
