Bowing Foundation Walls in Ramsey, MN

Jen S. in Ramsey, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her home and a sinking garage. She visited the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and learned about our foundation repair solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, explained our wall anchors and push piers, and how they can permanently stabilize her foundation. She was interested to see if we could solve her foundation problem, so she set an appointment with Shane for a FREE onsite estimate. After Shane inspected her foundation wall and garage, he determined that installing 11 wall anchors on one side of the home and installing 8 piers underneath the garage, would permanently repair and stabilize her foundation. 

She agreed with the plan that Shane developed, so we set an installation date. Once our crew had installed and tightened the wall anchors, Jen was able to see the drastic improvement with the stability of the wall.

The push piers installed under the garage raised the garage and secured the foundation, so Jen will never again have to worry about her foundation settling and the damage that can cause to a home. Jen now has peace of mind because she chose to invest in protecting her most valuable asset.

Sagging Crawl Space Stabilized in Anoka, MN

An Anoka, MN, homeowner was making dinner one night when she noticed her kitchen floors seemed to be sagging in a few areas. It occurred to her that her kitchen was directly over the crawl space of the home, and was immediately uneasy about what this could mean for the stability of her home. She took to the internet to find crawl space repairs near Anoka, MN, and quickly found our website. She was impressed by other projects we had done in her area and decided to claim her FREE estimate. 

When our Design Specialist, Nick S, arrived at the home, he was directed to the crawl space to begin his estimate. 

When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. First, Nick explained that the crawl space needed a supplemental beam, and our SmartJack system. He explained that our SmartJack system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. This crawl space support system is unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner liked the sound of Nick's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his team effortlessly installed 20 ft of Supplemental Beam, and 3 SmartJacks. Now, our customer has renewed faith in her space!
