Last winter a water main broke about a block from our house. Since the break was above us, thousands of gallons of water ran down the hill towards our house. I woke up to about 6-7 inches of water around my connected garage. Several inches were also in the area behind the house. I set up sump pumps to get rid of the water and got no water in the house but the ground was still very saturated. The temperature dropped from 25 above to 15 below in about 30 hours. My son heard a loud bang and the block in the basement had cracked about 18 inches below ground from the expanding pressure of the freezing water.
I called several contractors to look at the problem and they all wanted to do extra work. One wanted to dig up the whole back of the house and I said I don't have any water problems, I just didn't want to have structural problems in the future.
Foundation Supportworks Solutions offered a solution to reinforce the wall at a reasonable price. Using GeoLock foundation wall anchors with rebar and concrete in block cores the wall was made structurally sound.
The job was done in a timely manner and the site was left extremely clean. It was hard to tell work had been done in the area. The employees of Foundation Supportworks Solutions were all friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them.
