A homeowner in Garnavillo, IA had a bowing wall issue. The wall was bowing inward and continued to slant inward as time went on. It was an older basement wall and needed professional help to stabilize it. They contacted the experts in the industry, MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out to take a look at the system and give them the best recommendation that would fix the bowing wall, Push Pier System.
The Push Pier System can permanently stabilize a bowing wall. The system can even lift the foundation back to its original level. Steel tubes are hydraulically driven through steel foundation brackets into the ground. The weight is then transferred through the piers to the soil. The system can be installed year-round and can restore the wall right away bringing the homeowner peace of mind instantly!

Helical Piers are designed to attempt to lift the home back to its original position. It is a solution that causes minimal disturbance and yet is more effective than other solutions. The experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems install the pier system from the exterior or interior of the home. Helical Piers are effective at closing cracks caused by settlement which improves the operation of doors and windows.
First, soil is removed from the area where the Helical Piers will be installed, and then sections are advanced into the soil. Once proper depth is achieved, heavy-duty foundation brackets are positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the Helical Piers to deep, competent soils, lifting the home back to its proper place.
