MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Exposed downspout extensions can be a constant hassle and a risk to your home's foundation. In Asbury, IA, a homeowner faced this very problem, battling the inconvenience of manually attaching the downspout extension during every rainstorm. As the before photo shows, the surface pipes were an eyesore and a temporary, unreliable solution. We stepped in and provided a permanent fix by expertly burying their downspouts, ensuring proper drainage away from the home. The after photo reveals the clean, seamless result, with no more surface pipes to contend with. Our solution not only eliminates the daily chore of attaching extensions but also provides long-term protection against water damage, reflecting our commitment to practical, lasting solutions and homeowner peace of mind.

Over time, the ground under concrete can shift and settle, creating voids. When voids are present, the concrete can sink and crack from stress. Injecting PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems will help lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. The PolyLevel fills the voids and expands to lift the slabs, leveling the concrete back to its original position. PolyLevel has a lifting compacity of 2,000 to 4,000 pounds per square foot while weighing less than 4 pounds per cubic foot. The waterproof material prevents the PolyLevel from washing out and will not rot or deteriorate over time.

New WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump installed in Wapello, IA.

A homeowner in Oxford Junction, IA was having a bowing wall issue. A horizontal crack had formed through the middle of the basement wall and ran across almost the whole length of it. This was an issue that would not be able to be fixed without the help of an expert. The homeowner called MidAmerica Basement Systems and Design Specialist, Bryan was able to come out to take a look at the wall and give them the best recommendation to fix it once and for all, Geo-Lock Anchor System!

Geo-Lock Anchors were installed in the homeowner's home. This system will permanently stabilize the basement wall and over time bring the wall back to its original state. It is installed with heavy duty earth anchors that are embedded in the stable soil away from the basement wall. It is connected to a steel plate by a galvanized rod. Once everything is installed the anchors are then tightened and will hold the wall in its place. During dry seasons the system can be tightened even more to bring the wall back to its original position over time.

Thanks to Design Specialist, Bryan, and Installer, John, and the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team, the homeowner can now have one less worry in their mind! If you too are looking to have your bowing wall fixed, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems.

It was addressed that her sump pump was old and worn out, and needed to be replace soon if she wanted to keep a dry basement. A TripleSafe was offered to replace the old sump, and WaterGuard was also added to help affectively transport the seeping water to the pump to be properly discharged. Deb can rest assure that her basement will not become wet having a new system to maintain seeping water.
