Serving Des Moines, Ames
& nearby Iowa communities.
At Anchored Walls, we provide permanent solutions for foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, concrete leveling, and egress window installation throughout the Winterset area.
Even well-built homes in Winterset are vulnerable to the forces of shifting soil and changing weather. Cracks in foundation walls, water in the basement, or uneven concrete can all signal underlying problems that, if left unaddressed, can cause serious structural damage over time.
Our foundation repair services address cracks, settlement, and bowing walls caused by shifting soils and hydrostatic pressure. One of our most effective solutions is wall anchor installation, which stabilizes and gradually straightens walls that have begun to lean inward. We also provide a full range of structural reinforcement and crack repair services to help restore your foundation’s strength and stability.

Winterset homes face the same soil and moisture challenges found across much of Iowa, but local variations in terrain and drainage can make these problems even more complex. The expansive soils beneath your home swell when saturated, placing enormous pressure on basement walls. As soils dry out, they shrink, leaving gaps beneath foundations that can lead to cracks and settlement.
Older homes in Winterset are particularly prone to water intrusion, as many were built without modern waterproofing or proper exterior drainage systems. Crawl spaces are another frequent trouble spot—high humidity, wood rot, and mold growth can occur quickly if moisture is not properly controlled. Outdoor concrete surfaces, too, are impacted by the same soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles, leading to sinking, cracked, and uneven surfaces around the home. Addressing these issues early can help preserve the long-term stability and safety of your home.

In Winterset, foundation and basement problems often reveal themselves gradually. You might notice small cracks in basement walls or floors, or find signs of moisture along the edges of the basement after a rainstorm. Musty odors in the basement or crawl space are another common indicator of moisture issues that can lead to structural problems.
Floors may begin to slope, especially in homes with aging crawl spaces. Doors and windows may stick or drift out of alignment. Outdoors, sidewalks, driveways, and patios may become uneven, creating safety hazards and drainage problems. If you’re seeing any of these warning signs around your Winterset home, it’s time to call in the experts. Anchored Walls will inspect your home thoroughly and recommend solutions to address the root cause of the problem.

From the project manager through all the folks working this huge mess, I am so thankful for the job that was completed. Kyle and team put up with all my questions and dealt with temporary fencing for my dogs. Always rrspectful and polite. I can't rate them or Anchored Walls high enough! Also Deb in the office keeping me updated and answering more questions. Lucas and Carson putting in the sump pump. If you have basement issues, definitely call this company!!
After getting bids and talking with a few different contractors regarding what we needed for waterproofing our basement, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed, anxious and stressed out. Elliott was a breath of fresh air. He's a very nice, respectful guy. He is very knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. After speaking with him, I felt more at ease and less anxious about the whole process. Because of Elliott, we plan to move forward with Anchored Walls for our basement waterproofing.
The teams did an excellent job. Walker, Sopheak, Brad, Deb were great to work with. The anchors are very solid, well engineered.
