Survivor

Last week we worked on a home in northwest Minot that survived the flood.

The basement, however, did not fare so well.

Housemovers lifted the house off it's bowed and cracked foundation walls and placed it aside to let Bluestone do some necessary work.

First, we tore out all of the walls with the excavator.

Next, we stacked ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) walls and poured concrete.

It was a tight spot, but as you can see; the concrete pump is shown here pumping concrete into the forms.

Next the home will be placed back on it's new foundation and we have a situation that is much improved: a foundation much better and stronger than before.
