Biwabik's Dependable Foundation Repair, Concrete Lifting & Leveling Contractor

The primary focus on this job was improving the current critter issues, enhancing insulation, and reinforcing floor support. The customer's ultimate goal is a permanent fix, with the potential consideration of either selling the property or making it a long-term residence.

To tackle the challenges outlined, the crew installed five SmartJacks. This strategic placement has successfully lifted the floor by half an inch, effectively eliminating the sag in the middle. The underlying issue of uneven foundation walls has been identified as the primary cause of the majority of the floor slope. The end goal is not just to address the immediate issues but to provide a durable solution that accommodates the homeowner's potential future decisions to either sell or continue residing in the property.

The owner of this home in Biwabik, MN reached out for help with their damp basement. One of our Design Specialists ran a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our Basement Waterproofing Service.

One of our crews came out to install our Basement Waterproofing products. They installed WaterGaurd® french drain system and a new sump pump in the basement to help remove water away from the foundation.

Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind in a healthy, safe, and comfortable home.

We had received a call from a homeowner in Biwabik, MN who was noticing leaks in their basement and cracks all over the place in their basement. The homeowner knew they had clay around their home and understood they would need a serious solution to the problems they faced rather than a temporary fix. 

We are never happy to hear about homeowners facing problems, but we do like knowing that we can definitely help homeowners get peace of mind and become more comfortable in their home when they're facing problems like this. We sent our experienced Basement Specialist Rich to assess the situation and propose a permanent solution. Rich identified issues with the foundation and where the water was entering the home. Before proposing a solution he also took into consideration what outcome the homeowner was looking for and what constraints the home and property might have on a solution. In the end, it was determined that PowerBraces for foundation support and a new drain tile with CleanSpace wall matting would be most appropriate for the situation. The PowerBraces provide ample support for the wall and many homeowners enjoy the fact that they can be installed without the need for an external dig-up around the outside of the home. Meanwhile the new drain tile with wall matting helps to direct incoming water into a sump pump and away from the home. With our unique system we are able to offer a TripleSafe Sump Pump which works well with our system to drive water away from the home with additional back up pumps in the case of excess incoming water or power outage. 

Our foremen make sure to stay in communication with the homeowner throughout the project to ensure everything is being completed in accordance with their wishes and expectations. In the end, we were able to provide this homeowner with peace of mind in the form of a waterproofed basement with structurally sound walls.
