MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jacki and Derek of Davenport, IA called MidAmerica Basement Systems because they started noticing cracks in the main level of their home. They met with design specialist Joe Sarb, who investigated the home. Joe then recommended the installation of a couple Smart Jacks, which are now stabilizing the main home. It looks great, too!

Jackie of Davenport was looking to finish her basement but wanted more natural light. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems on options for new basement windows to be installed. It was proposed to Jackie that installing EverLast windows will not only provide more natural light in her basement, but will also provide a more permanent seal between the window and foundation. EverLast windows are made of vinyl material so they will never rot, rust, or need a new coat of paint. Jackie now has a basement that is brighter for her finished basement.

Bowing walls not only cause leaking foundation, but also pose threat to a unstable structure. GeoLock Wall Anchors is a system that address both leaking and bowing walls. The system allows for the walls to become stable and tightened. Over time, the tightening can produce straightening results to the wall, closing the foundation cracks and gaps. CleanSpace was placed over the walls to act as a water barrier from any moisture that would seep into the foundation. WaterGuard was placed along the base of the floor to capture any moisture that enter, to direct it to the sump pump system.

Mike was concerned about his concrete deck in his backyard. A large gap had appeared between the deck and home, creating an unlevel entertainment area for him and his guests. His concerns about replacing the entire deck quickly disappeared when he heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems PolyLevel injections. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the concrete slabs to fill voids, and precisely and effectively lift and level sunken concrete. Mike no longer has gap between the deck and home, but a level entertainment area.

William was noticing his concrete slowing shifting and sloping, making the step up to his porch quite large. Cole, from MidAmerica Basement Systems offered the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel uses polymers to fill the voids that have caused the concrete to shift and sink. Once it becomes reactive, the PolyLevel expands to lift, level and stabilize the concrete. The quick reaction time allows for a precise and accurate lift, making sure no under- or over-lifting occurs. William now has a level and stable sidewalk to his porch.
