Repairing Walls in Madison, MN

This homeowner had a block wall in the basement that was bowing quite severely. Bowing walls are caused by hydrostatic pressure and expansive soils on the outside of your foundation. When the clay soil around your home absorbs water, it expands and pushes against the foundation. It's important to stop the wall from bowing or leaning any further. If this homeowner would have waited much longer, the wall could have collapsed and caused irreparable damage to the structure of his home.

We installed our PowerBrace Wall Support System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time with regular tightening. This system requires NO outside excavation. The system we installed in this home was done in one day!

Let us know if you have bowing or leaning walls that you would like a solution for. Our PowerBrace System might be right for you!

Crawl Space Encapsulation In Ortonville

Matt from Ortonville needed help with his dirt crawlspace that had a musty smell coming from it. Our Design Specialist, Chris Scharmer, met with him and found a solution to his problem.  Our CleanSpace prevents excess moisture in a dirt-floored crawl space that could cause mold and a musty smell. Along with SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier it will eliminate damp, musty odors in the crawl space by drying and filtering the air. The SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump protects vulnerable crawl spaces by combining an intelligent WaterWatch alarm system with a sump pump that's specifically designed for crawl spaces. 

Stress Wall Crack Repair in Maple Grove, MN

Maple Grove homeowner contacted Complete Basement Systems when they noticed a stress wall crack in their foundation that was leaking.  

Our FlexiSpan Wall System is installed to prevent wall cracks from leaking.  Cracks in poured concrete walls are common.  Most are a result of shrinkage of the concrete as part of the curing process.

FlexiSpan seals the crack and if any water ever gets past the seal, it drains down into the drywell.  No amount of wall movement will make it leak again because FlexiSpan is....well, flexible.

ZenWall Gives Basement Facelift!

ZennWall is one of our favorites, as it works to not only protect the basement, but also give it a facelift.
