Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Trimont, MN, felt it was time to have their basement inspected due to the concerning cracks growing along their walls. Since the homeowner has done work with us in the past, they felt comfortable calling our Appointment Center and signing up for their FREE estimate. After the FREE estimate was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Edgar, to investigate the status of the wall. When Edgar arrived, he met with the homeowner and then took a look at the wall. Edgar determined that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Edgar recommended they install GeoLocks to permanently stabilize. Knowing this was the best option, Edgar agreed and the solution was directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to begin the stabilization process. Upon arrival, they made sure the basement was cleared and ready for production. Then, the crew began installing five GeoLocks along the south wall. The homeowner requested that the tightening kit also be included in the job, so they could gradually straighten the wall over time. When the crew finished the GeoLock installation, they cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Charles W. in Saint James, MN had large, stair-step like cracks in three of his basement walls. He noticed they had started to bow inwards, so he decided it would be a good idea to have a professional look at it. A friend of his had a good experience with American Waterworks so he recommended that Charles contact us to repair his foundation. Charles called us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the situation and find a solution for him. Charles was pleased with the thorough plan that Jeremy developed, and he felt that we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew strategically placed seventeen Geo-Lock wall anchors along the three bowing walls. The anchors are placed in the ground outside of the home and drilled into the basement walls. Then, the plates are screwed on and tightened. Once the plates are tightened, the walls straighten and stabilize. Charles can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to secure his foundation because our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty.

A New Ulm, MN, homeowner had noticed that her driveway had been showing signs of sinking over the years. Some areas were worse than others, like the concrete in front of her garage door. The concrete had sunken so much that it had lead to a a giant trip hazard. The homeowner no longer wanted to sacrifice safety, so she decided to search for MN concrete repair companies. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Tony B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Tony got right to work assessing the concrete slabs. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel injection. He informed the homeowner that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking slabs. It slowly fills voids left by soil erosion, in the process, lifting the slabs back to their original position. Tony explained that, in comparison to other alternatives like mud jacking or full replacement, PolyLevel is cheaper, less invasive, and less time-consuming. Tony went on to say that he wanted to safeguard the lift with the help of our NexusPro solution. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to the cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete. It's specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, ensuring that the vulnerable soil below is protected from the elements. The homeowner liked the sound of the non-invasive installation and signed on the spot. 

The day of the project eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Sam, led his team through a flawless lift and seal. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her trip hazards have been handled!
