Tennyson Construction - Wet Basement Specialists is the leading basement waterproofing and foundation repair company in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. In business since 1981, they have worked in over 4,200 basements. Our interior tiling system to repair wet basements is backed by our transferable warranty, transferable to future owners of the home. If the basement foundation has problems (cracked, buckled or bowed basement walls), Tennyson Construction can straighten, brace, repair or replace basement and foundation problems. We offer no obligation free estimates with no high pressure sales tactics. We examine what is going on, tell you what we would do to fix the problems, bid the project, and leave the decision up to you. We do our own work, without any subcontractors. We feel one of our biggest advantages of Tennyson Construction is that we are not a Franchise business (we can tailor the right solution to each type of basement problem - no incentive to push products and services that may not be needed to meet franchise quotas). The second is that we specialize in working in basements, so our focus is always on the basement problems and solutions to those problems. The third is we back our work. Finally, most of our customers' projects begin with referrals from other customers, real estate agents, building officials, insurance agents, cleaning companies, and plumbers. Our projects are done in less than four days with qualified basement professionals. If our proposals are accepted, usual payment for those projects is done upon completion. Our company takes pride in its work, and we are proud of our small-town, locally-owned, family-owned business. Our employees really enjoy working with customers, as they see the joy that a family has when they get to enjoy their basement even more after our work.

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can live with a cracked foundation—in fact, most people do. Virtually all foundations crack from normal settlement, and while settling cracks benefit from sealing to prevent water and moisture intrusion, most aren’t an issue. If you have structural cracks in your foundation, it might be safe to live in your home for some time, but you should address them immediately to prevent structure collapse and major property damage.

Yes, foundation repairs are worth it if you have a significant problem or see signs that could worsen if not dealt with. If your foundation fails, your home can lose up to 20% of its value. Protecting your home from serious structural damage and avoiding more costly repairs later is well worth the money.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

Yes, it’s worth it to repair a crawl space foundation, even if the issue seems relatively minor. Foundation problems often get worse and more expensive to fix if you leave them untreated. Additionally, your entire home, from the framing and flooring to the roof system, relies on the foundation for even and level support. Issues with your foundation will almost always manifest as problems in and above your living space, so it’s important to find a solution.

Cracked tiles can mean foundation problems. Fortunately, most of the time, cracked tiles happen as a result of accidental damage. It is important to determine the cause of cracking to rule out underlying foundation issues. If your tiles were not damaged due to dropped items, heavy loads, poor installation, or inferior tile quality, and the cracks are spreading throughout your flooring and not limited to just one area, you may be dealing with foundation problems. These can include drainage problems and even foundation failure, so it is vital to call a licensed contractor to assess the issue and ensure your foundation is safe.
