New basement windows installed to help energy efficiency.
A homeowner in Davenport, IA had a thicker than a quarter crack running through their foundation wall in their basement. The crack caused the wall to lean inward and bow inside the house. The crack has grown in size over time and the homeowner was more than ready to take care of the issue. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help. A Design Specialist came out to take a look and give the homeowner the best recommendation possible to fix the issue. Installing a PowerBrace was the way to go.
There are many advantages to having a PowerBrace installed within your home. The first advantage is that it does not require any heavy equipment inside the home to install the beams. When installing the beams it will not disrupt any of your lawn or landscaping outside of the home. Each beam is a zinc-plated system which will look great in your home and it will not rust over time. Most importantly, it can straighten walls over time potentially reversing the wall failure.
No more bowing wall worries in mind in this homeowner's home thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team. If you too are having issues with a cracked or bowing wall, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to take a look and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!
This basement in Davenport wanted a sump pump system that would work hard to keep their basement dry and the patented TripleSafe is a 3 in 2 unit designed to do just that and more. The first pump is a Zoeller M-53 and does most of the pumping. The second pump is a Zoeller M-98 more powerful and kicks on if water rises above the first pump. The UltraSump is the battery back-up of the unit and is activated during a power outage. The TripleSafe unit is designed to work in harmony to protect the basement from potential floods. The unit is also smart enough to alert the homeowners if there is a problem that requires attention. The TripleSafe is a superior unit that is not only efficient and powerful but also has a sleek and clean design.
Water was coming through the walls of a duplex owned by Dan H. of Davenport, IA. Dan called MidAmerica Basement Systems and met with design specialist Mike Banks. Mike suggested Dan have the basement waterproofed, and have EverLast Wall Panels installed. EverLast Wall Panels are durable, made from inorganic material therefore won't mold or rot.
Diane was having an issue with sagging floors above her crawlspace. Experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems proposed that she have her crawlspace capsulized, and a SmartJack system installed. CleanSpace and SilverGlo were installed in her home to properly seal off moisture from the dirt ground, and provide the proper insulation. A SmartJack was installed to address the sagging floors, providing a more stable floor to walk on.
