Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions protect against water intrusion using interior drain tile systems, sump pumps, and vapor barriers. We address foundation cracks, efflorescence, and hydrostatic pressure issues through proven methods like PolyDrain technology and Xypex crystalline waterproofing. Services include complete system installations and emergency water removal for both residential and commercial properties.
Foundation Repair
We specialize in foundation crack repair, wall stabilization, and structural reinforcement. Our services include poured wall crack injections, wall bracing systems, and footing repairs using materials that meet or exceed industry standards. Each repair addresses both immediate water intrusion concerns and long-term structural integrity for residential and commercial buildings.
Radon Mitigation
Our EPA-certified radon mitigation systems reduce indoor radon levels through sub-slab depressurization. We install exterior-mounted fans, mechanical ventilation systems, and monitoring equipment that comply with Minnesota's 2020 Radon Mitigation Act. All installations include GFCI protection, audible alarms, and licensed electrical work for residential properties with radon levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
We protect crawl spaces using 5-layer, 15-MIL thick Griffolyn encapsulation materials that create moisture barriers against ground water vapor. Our system includes sealed seams, wall-to-floor connections, and optional dehumidification integration. This prevents mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations while improving overall home energy efficiency.
French Drains
Our exterior French drain systems manage surface and ground water through gravel-lined trenches with embedded piping. Designed to redirect water away from foundations, these systems include proper grading, filter fabric lining, and connection to existing drainage infrastructure. We use durable materials that resist clogging and maintain effectiveness through freeze-thaw cycles.
