Before & After Photos

Homeowner  Todd has lived in his home for many years and he recently noticed that the foundation of his home was starting to bow and push inward. He wanted o address this issue as soon as possible. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the foundation repair options that are offered. He had CarbonArmors installed in his home to help stabilize the bowing walls. 

This Geneseo, IL homeowner was troubled by a bowing foundation wall and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for an immediate fix. We recommended the installation of our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymers that are ten times stronger than steel, adhering directly to the wall to stabilize it permanently. This solution is ideal when customers like this one in Geneseo, who need a bowing wall fixed immediately. This project was completed in less than a day and didn't require any excavation or exterior digging. This Geneseo wall is now stable and fortified against further movement, thanks to our practical solutions and over three decades of experience. 

We were contacted by a homeowner in Geneseo, IL who noticed their basement walls were bowing, fearing potential collapse. As you can see in the before photo, the issues could cause serious structural problems. We remedied the solution by installing our PowerBrace system, shown in the after photo. This system uses sturdy, zinc-plated steel beams secured to prevent any further inward movement while offering the potential to reverse damage. With over three decades of experience, MidAmerica Basement Systems ensures your home remains safe and sound, focusing always on excellent communication and service. 

Clinton, IA homeowners saw foundation settlement both inside and outside their home. They were referred to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist Bryan Christopherson inspected the home, and recommended Smart Jack XT to stabilize the walls. The homeowners are happy to know their home has been fixed!

Rachel recently had a contractor install jack posts to help support her sinking floors, but quickly realized that they were not installed properly. The jacks that had been installed couldn’t handle the weight of the home, and were beginning to buckle under the pressure, presenting the initial issue Rachel had started with, sinking floors. MidAmerica Basement Systems’ sales rep., Joe, had suggested installing a SmartJack system. SmartJack systems focus on the main issue of the problem, the failing foundation soils underneath. Holes are dug and filled with concrete or tightly-compacted crushed stone, providing the proper stabilization for the weight of the home.
