Local Leading Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing in Clay County

Debra and Kathy in Ulen, MN had water leaking from their foundation walls into their basement. Since water damage can create mold and humidity problems, they felt unsafe and nervous living in their own home. They did some research online and looked at our website and our basement waterproofing repair products. Debra called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Rick Weber went to their home to inspect the problems and come up with a solution. After a thorough and detailed examination, Debra and Kathy were comfortable with Rick's plan, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench in the ground. Then, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which serves as an extra wall protectant and prevents humidity and mold build-up. Next, our team installed our WaterGuard System into the ground trench which acts as an underground drain that leads to outside and collects water seepage from basement walls. Lastly, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for customers and offers three levels of protection. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard efficiently work together to combine and pump water seepage out of the basement. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Debra and Kathy had a remarkable experience from start to finish!

Donald from Barnesville, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice a crack forming along his basement wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the wall failing even more. When he called our office, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, Kole was out at the property to complete his inspection, as well as make recommendations as to how we could help fix the issue. Once his walkthrough was completed, Kole informed Donald that he wanted to use our GeoLock anchors to fix the issue. He explained that this solution works to stabilize walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that, after installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls to pull them back to their original position. 

The customer agreed to the solution and work began a few weeks after. Our Foreman, Zach, began the process by verifying interior measurements for the anchors. Next, he excavated holes on the outer side of the foundation to place one side of the anchor in. Next, he drilled holes to run a rod through to connect the anchors. He finished by tightening them appropriately. At the end of the project, Zach and his crew installed 8 of our anchors throughout the basement. When work was done, our customer was happy to know that he didn't have to worry about his basement foundation any longer!

Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. The crew cleaned up their tools and left the home.

A homeowner from Moorhead, MN, was getting his home ready for resale. Before he could confidently list his home, he knew that several areas of the home needed updating. One of the larger projects the homeowner had to complete was the renovation of his driveway. Ever since he could remember, the concrete had been sinking and cracking under the uneven pressure. He was afraid the issue would require him to tear out the whole driveway and replace it, but he did know alternative methods were used to address this kind of problem. He began to search for MN concrete repair companies and quickly found our website. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, James N, one of our Design Specialists, was out at the home. 

James got right to work assessing the concrete. He explained to the homeowner that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons but that American Waterworks could help restore the concrete with our PolyLevel injection. He explained that this polyurethane foam expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to slowly fill the voids left by soil erosion, lifting the concrete back to its position in the process. James elaborated, saying that, compared to other methods, PolyLevel is cheaper, less invasive, and less time-consuming. James went on to say that he recommended safeguarding the concrete with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant is applied to all cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete and serves as a barrier between vulnerable soil and harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of James' plan, and scheduled the work for several weeks out. 

Our Foreman, CJ C, and his crew arrived bright and early on the day of the project. They began by verifying the measurements that James had left for them. Next, they strategically drilled holes into the sunken concrete. Then, they inserted the PolyLevel through ports, closely monitoring the lifting process to ensure the slab returned to the correct location. Finally, they sealed off all entry points with NexusPro. Now, our customer can confidently list his home for sale without worries that his sunken driveway would hinder resale!
