Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was in the process of remodeling his home when he tore out a large section of drywall and uncovered a large crack in his basement wall, which seemed to be bowing inward. The homeowner did some research on his own and wondered if foundation anchors would save the basement. The homeowner knew he was in over his head, so he took to the internet to search for 'residential foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was out at the home. 

Chuck performed his inspection and then met with the homeowner. He began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Chuck could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy with the diagnosis, so he quickly reassured the homeowner that we could help remedy the issue. He informed the homeowner that his assumption hadn't been far off and that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors. Chuck elaborated, stating that this innovative system works to counteract foundation failure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing your basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team effortlessly installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem walls in the basement. Now, our customer can continue the remodel, knowing that their foundation will stand the test of time!

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was worried about his basement. One of his foundation walls had a large crack running lengthwise on the wall. He was worried that if he let the issue worsen, it might compromise the structural integrity of the home. He decided to look for foundation repair Wisconsin, and quickly found our website.

Foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not the side.  When the pressure becomes too much for the wall to withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac went on to reassure the homeowner that there was a solution: our GeoLock anchors. This innovative system counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation.

Maryann and John A. of Onalaska, WI had a damp crawl space with sagging floors. One of their local contractors referred American Waterworks, so they called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck inspected their crawl space and proposed a solution that would benefit their home repair needs. Maryann and John were confident and comfortable with Chuck's proposal and presentation, so they moved forward with the project.

A homeowner from Onalaska, WI, had been keeping an eye on his failing garage wall for some time. Over the years, the blocks had begun to separate, causing the wall to bow inward. The homeowner was worried about the structural integrity of the structure and decided to find a foundation specialist in WI to help. When he found American Waterworks, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, headed out to the home. 

After Michel finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. When the side pressure on the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, and/or tilting inward at the top. Michel went on to say that he had the perfect solution: our GeoLock anchors. He explained that these innovative anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall to connect the two anchors, wall anchors can even be used to straight walls in many cases. The homeowner needed some time to think about Michel's proposal but eventually signed on for the job.
