Cracked Foundation Wall For Woodstock, MN Homeowner

This Woodstock, MN homeowner had a large horizontal crack on the foundation wall which was causing movement of the entire wall of the home.  The homeowners contacted Complete Basement Systems to solve the problem.

Our System Design Specialist quickly came to evaluate the situation.  He quickly concluded that the foundation wall was unlevel and had shifted due to hydrostatic pressure from the outside causing a lot of pressure on the block foundation wall and needed to be stabilized to prevent the worse from happening, a collapsed wall.

PowerBrace beams were installed to support the foundation wall from further movement.  Why does this happen?  As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, that soil expands.  That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing the cracking, bowing and tipping to occur.

If you have a foundation wall crack and notice even the slightest of movement, don't wait!  Contact Complete Basement Systems today and schedule your free estimate. 

Cracked and Buckling Foundation Wall Stabilized in Hardwick, MN

This homeowner in Hardwick, MN had noticeable cracks and buckling occur in their basement block foundation wall and needed a solution to repair and prevent their wall from completely collapsing. They quickly gave Complete Basement Systems a call to solve the problem.

Our System Design Specialist quickly came to evaluate the situation.  It was concluded that besides a clear foundation concern, but also past water intrusion was evident once a complete evaluation was done at the home. 

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the home to collect any ground water seepage along with our CleanSpace Wall System to protect the walls from water intrusion that will also leave any future finished walls protected permanently.  Our PowerBrace Wall Support System was installed to stabilize the foundation wall from further movement.  With minor maintenance of tightening the brackets, their foundation wall could move in place, but will forever prevent the wall from any further buckling. 

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!
