Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in St Clair MN

Before

After

Our customer in St Clair, MN was referred to Complete Basement Systems to fix the bowing and cracking walls he was experiencing.

Once an appointment was scheduled, our System Design Specialist met with the homeowners, together they did a thorough inspection. It was also found that there had been some previous moisture and water issues as well as a cracked foundation wall.

The solution to give our customer the best long term solution involved installing an interior waterproofing system using WaterGuard and CleanSpace Wall System. The customer also had plans to finish the basement and to give the homeowner peace of mind no matter the volume of rain or a power outage, the TripleSafe gave them all of that protection from a flood event.

To resolve the cracked foundation and bowed wall, the solution was to use the PowerBrace Wall System to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. It is a zinc coated steel beam installed on the interior of the home and placed against the foundation wall to prevent any further wall movement.
