Problems with water coming in a corner of the basement everytime a heavy rain happened would have these homeowners putting towels down, running fans, anything to dry it up until it would happen next time.  

Brett & Christel had enough with this problem and wanted it solved once and for all.  They had called us a couple of times for an appointment to address the problems with water.  Getting the pre-appointment information gave them a lot to think about and consider to do this properly and can be a costly repair on top of the addition plans to make a livable space in the basement. 

When we inspected the basement, our System Design Specialist noticed signifigant foundation movement.  About 2" of the block walls had bowed inward.  Very possibly a cause to some of the water problems they have had.  

What causes a foundation to crack is due to moisture and frost that interact with the soil around your home which expands.  That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing and tipping.

Water seepage through walls, floor/wall joint is the same, hydrostatic pressure.  Floor and wall water seepage is quite common.

Our solution to solve our customers water and foundation problems involved installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump Pump and PowerBrace Foundation System.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Insulation Throughout Lake Lillian, MN

If you've been having problems with your crawl space, our services can help. Some symptoms of a crawl space problem include uneven floors, foul odors in the home, drywall cracks in the interior, and heightened allergies or asthma symptoms. Mold is also a common problem as it can easily grow in any crawl space and eventually start rotting it all together. Besides adding braces to crawl spaces we can also professionally insulate and encapsulate the area with clean space vapor barrier. Installing sump pumps and dehumidifiers where necessary prevent moisture problems that lead to water damage and mold growth. Our crawl space system comes with a 25 year warranty that you can count on.

Job Stories From Lake Lillian, MN
Walls Rescued in Lake Lillian, MN

This homeowner had a severely cracked and bowing basement block wall. This happens when the soil on the outside of the home pushes the foundation until it actually starts to move or bow. Our PowerBrace Wall Support System permanently stabilizes these walls. Steel beams are fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and to the first-floor framing above. With tightening every 6 months or so with a simple torque wrench, the walls will slowly be pushed back to their upright position. This PowerBrace System is backed by a 25 year product warranty as well as a service warranty from us!

Let us know if you need help with your bowing or leaning basement walls!
