Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Monticello, MN

"Jordan and his crew were professional in every way - prompt, courteous, expert repairs, tidy. They did a great job raising the concrete squares against our house to drain the rain away. Very competitively priced. I like to support a small business owner who does the work himself. His pride for his work shows in the fine job he did. Highly recommended to anyone in need of his services."

"We had our concrete floors raised as they have settled over the years. Joey and Derrick were the team that did the raising. Fantastic professionals and excellent workmanship. They not only answered our questions but explained why and how the foam worked. I was a home builder for 10 years and can recognize good workman. These two were outstanding. If you need foundation work or concrete floors lifted, give Innovative a call. DON'T SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS."

"This job was completed efficiently and professionally. A design specialist came to test and measure every detail for the project. The crew arrived with everything needed for the job. They worked very hard to install Waterguard in the concrete floors inside around the foundation to the sump pump basket. They also installed Geo-lock anchors to support a block wall that was bowed. This company has 36 years in business and provides excellent results and professional customer relations. Call Amer. Wtrwrks for a free estimate. You will not be disappointed. A wise investment of $11,270."

"I appreciated the accurate estimate for the work as well as the advice on preventing it from happening again. The crew arrived on time and raised the walkway section so it’s level now. They also caulked between the driveway and garage slabs."

"We hired Safe Basements to fix a problem with water leaching into our basement. One wall of the finished area of our basement doesn't have drywall/sheet rock, but instead has skim-coated mud and then paint directly on top of the cinder block. Since we moved into this house 5 years ago, we'd had water leaching in through that wall almost every year. We asked Safe Basements to come out and take a look, and they said that groundwater was filling up the cinder block, and that installing drain tile and a sump pump would direct the water into a trench and out of the house, thus fixing the problem. So, we hired them to fix it in November 2017, at a cost of about $5000. After they completed their work, we sanded down the previous damage to the wall, re-did the skim-coat, primed it and painted it to complete the repair ourselves. In March 2019, after all of the snow we got in February began to melt, we noticed that the paint on that same wall was completely blistered, with water once again leaching through the cinder block wall and breaking through the paint. It was exactly the same problem we thought was repaired. We called Safe Basements, and they visited twice. The person I spoke to over the phone said that sometimes the drain tile "system gets overwhelmed" and used "Act of God" to describe the heavy snowfall in February (language which is in the warranty and would ostensibly relieve them from any further responsibility). One of their staff who visited the house told us that the placement of our downspout outside of the wall would void the warranty, though the warranty materials do not address a specific distance requirement. They also pointed out that some water had come through our basement window, but that does not explain the water leaching through the cinder block. It seemed to us as if they were reaching for any reason to void their lifetime guarantee. However, regardless of whether the warranty is void or not, the most problematic issue for us is that upon viewing the new water damage, their staff told us that due to the nature of that finished wall, because it was mud over concrete as opposed to drywall with a vapor barrier, the concrete "couldn't breathe" and was therefore soaking up the water so it didn't flow to the trench that they'd installed below. This is exactly how the wall was when we first hired them, so we are at a loss as to why they either 1) didn't realize the construction of that wall in the first place, or 2) advised us to install drain tile that was apparently never going to effectively solve the original problem. We relied on their expert advice about how to address our problem, so we are disappointed that they sold us a solution that they reasonably should have known wouldn't work. Safe Basements has advised us to re-grade the exterior, which we have begun to do, and to either completely expose the cinder block on that wall (effectively unfinishing our basement) or install drywall (which isn't feasible due to the placement of a stairwell). The drain tile system is slowly working to some extent, and indeed, some of the blistering that caused us to call them has receded, but the blistered paint is still noticeable and needs to be fixed. So our original problem remains unsolved and we will incur more costs to repair that wall and try to keep water out of our basement. It seems to us that we could have just addressed the exterior grading in the first place rather than installing the drain tile, spending a fraction of the cost to get likely the same result."

"Drew was able to come out the same day I contacted the company to do the estimate.  He was very professional and provided consulting that I did not need hard core basement waterproofing (sump pump, drain tile, etc.) but wall scraping, painting.  The root cause of the seepage was due to landscaping/mulch around the house.  He made a few suggestions like 4 feet of rocks vs mulch.  I very much appreciate the honest consulting and am relieved. <br> <br>Drew suggested full concrete stair replacement vs patching.  Also, suggested glass block windows that open to help with basement airflow $8800.  This is not in my budget to do at this time. <br> <br> <br> <br>"

"They were prompt and courteous and professional. Unfortunately, they were unable to get our sidewalk completely level due to some twisting of the underlying rebar. It would have been nice if they could have set our expectations that this might happen. It is still a LOT better than it was, and they may have had more success if we had called for repair years earlier."

"In the spring of 2015 we received hail damage from a storm. We filed an insurance claim and began looking for a reputable contractor. Our neighbor recommended and guy that was recommended to them by a friend, as being one of the best in the business and knowing his trade. That guy was MIKE WALK with Over Under Construction. Mike showed up on time, knew what he was talking about and didn't make us feel pressured to do anything. He was there for the Insurance inspection, on time again, and went well out of his way to help us through out the process. He explained everything clearly and had the math down to the dollar. The work that was performed was speedy and spectacular. We continue to constantly get comments from our neighbors and strangers as to the quality of work and how beautiful the house is. Mike stopped by periodically through out the repair process to make sure everything was going as planned. also the siding workers were very nice and polite and also on time and worked well into the evening. They also picked up after themselves every day before they left. All said and done the final bill was the same as the quote, the work was great and Mike is awesome. Thanks to Over Under Const. for your work. And Thanks to Mike Walk."

"Steve came out to our property and was great to talk with. He seemed to genuinely care about the issue we were having and helped us determine some options for a solution. He was thorough and really took the time to evaluate every aspect that could be contributing to our problem. We would definitely recommend this company!"

"The project was delayed due to the winter.  However, when the weather was nice enough, the project was completed promptly.  The steps work great, nothing loose.  We only had two issues.  One was cosmetic; the large stone was put back in place upside down (non-weathered side up), which made it stand out compared to the other stones on the stoop.  However, as the stone has weathered it is matching up just fine.  The second is a wait and see; after the first winter with the repair, some of the mortar is flaking/crumbling a bit.  Nothing too serious, but is noticeable.  If it gets worse, we may need Arabella to come take a look.  I wouldn't hesitate to have them do additional work. <br />"
