Foundation Repair & Windows in Albert Lea

Shannon contacted our company because their block foundation was failing to cause cracking walls that needed stabilization. 

 

Our system design specialist Ronald Schulz designed a solution to stabilize the foundation wall with our patented PowerBrace wall system. The walls are now stabilized with no more need for them to worry. We also replaced some of their existing basement windows with 3 of our Standard Everlast Windows. Shannon was is enthusiastic that the new windows let in so much more light into their basement! 

 

They were pleased that the installation crew was very professional, and informative and did a wonderful job cleaning up!

 

Albert Lea, MN Crawlspace Encapsulation

This crawl space was suffering from chronic moisture intrusion, exposed soil, and deteriorating insulation. The block walls showed staining and signs of long-term humidity issues, and the unsealed ground allowed odors, mold risk, and temperature fluctuations to rise into the living space. The environment was inefficient, uncomfortable, and potentially damaging to the home’s structure.

 

Using our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, we transformed this crawl space into a clean, bright, and protected environment. The durable vapor barrier now seals off the earth and walls, preventing moisture intrusion and creating a controlled, energy-efficient space. The result is a healthier home, improved air quality, and long-term protection against mold, humidity, and structural decay.

Crawlspace Repair in Albert Lea, MN

This homeowner in Albert Lea, MN was dealing with a crawlspace that was far from ideal. The area had exposed dirt and gravel floors, torn insulation, and no proper vapor barrier to protect against ground moisture. These conditions allowed excess humidity to build up, creating an environment that could lead to mold growth, poor air quality, and long-term structural concerns. The crawlspace was also inefficient, contributing to energy loss and uncomfortable conditions throughout the home.

 


We completely transformed the crawlspace by installing a full CleanSpace encapsulation system. The exposed ground was sealed with a durable, high-performance vapor barrier that now fully covers the floor and walls, locking out moisture and improving overall air quality. The space is now clean, bright, and properly protected from humidity and outside elements. This encapsulation not only helps safeguard the home’s structure but also creates a healthier, more energy-efficient environment for the homeowner, giving her peace of mind that her crawlspace is protected for years to come.
