A homeowner in Pekin, IL with a home built in the 1900s started to notice their home having some wear and tear. The walls have begun to bow inward and crack and the flooring has begun to sag and begin to rot. Knowing this was a bigger issue than what they could fix on their own, the homeowner searched the internet to come across a well-known industry in their area, MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help them out!
Your flooring can weaken and rot over time and cause the flooring to sag. Floor framing can be spanned too far out making the floor start to sag. Piers that have been installed with improper footings can sink. There could also be too much weight added to a floor system that is not designed to handle the load. There is a system that can be installed that would fix this issue, a SmarkJack floor support system. SmartJack is an adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and raise your flooring back up to where it was. It is designed with an adjustable screw that can jack up the floor and can always be adjusted again in the future.
Having a SmartJack installed within the homeowner's home eliminated several worries this homeowner once had. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team this home is looking great! If you too are looking to have a wall stabilized or have your flooring no longer sag, or wanting to learn more about the other services we offer, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Before, the homeowner faced the daunting issue of foundational cracks and unwelcome leaks whenever it rained, causing concern and damage to their crawlspace here in Pekin, IL.

After installation, the space not only became structurally sound but also visibly more appealing. We're proud to have provided a solution that's as long-lasting as it is reliable, perfectly aligning with our mission to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
From Dunlap, Rick and Carol B. wanted to clean up their dark crawl space so they got in touch with the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team encapsulated the space with strong, bright and mold resistant CleanSpace. The team also kept the space dry by installing SmartSump pump system and now the homeowners have a clean, bright and dry crawl space!
In the cold winter months, it is common for pipes to freeze, causing sump systems to back-up and flood into your basement. With the proper discharge line and IceGuard, MidAmerica Basement Systems can provide the ease during the freezing months. IceGuard allows for water to be discharge from the home while preventing water from freezing during discharge.
Large settlement cracks had become an issue for Wynn’s driveway, stretching from one side to the other. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue addressed. PolyLevel was injected under the slabs to lift and level them back to their original position, stabilizing the area and filling the voids. After PolyLevel, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to all areas of the cracks. NexusPro helps prevent future cracking and seals off the area from seeping water. When water enters the area, it allows for ground washouts and settlement, which cause the slabs to sink and cracks. NexusPro also has a strong, flexible bond that allows for movement between the cold and hot seasons.
