Notice in the before photo, a large chunk of this driveway in Clinton, IA had settled, posing a potential risk that would eventually require costly replacement. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, our focus on creating remarkable experiences means addressing problems before they escalate. We applied our proven PolyLevel system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam through small holes to lift the slab back to its original position. Once stabilized, we sealed the joints with our advanced NexusPro Joint Sealant, ensuring water is kept at bay, to prevent future shifting. Our decades of expertise enable solutions that protect your home.
This Clinton, IA homeowner was concerned about the safety risk posed by the uneven concrete around their home. Uneven surfaces can be tricky, but especially for those wanting a safe environment to age in place. We addressed this issue by using our PolyLevel system, which lifted and leveled the slabs back into place with precision. In the after photo, you'll also notice our use of NexusPro Joint Sealant to lock out moisture and preserve the concrete's integrity. With over 35 years of experience, we take pride in creating safe, beautiful spaces like we did here in Clinton, IA.
Before: The basement walls of this Peru, IL, home were in a state of severe distress, bowing inward under the relentless hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding soil. Large horizontal cracks and frowning masonry indicated that the structure was nearing a critical failure point, leaving the homeowner in a constant state of anxiety over a potential cave-in. These unsightly worry lines were a clear warning sign that the home’s foundation was losing its battle against the elements and required immediate intervention to prevent a total collapse.
After: Under the expert direction of Foreman Brian Lopez, our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems transformed the failing space into a model of structural integrity using the GeoLock Wall Anchor and PowerBrace systems. By anchoring into stable soil and reinforcing the interior with high-strength steel beams, we successfully neutralized the external pressure. The formerly leaning walls are now standing tall and true, replacing years of wall woes with a solid, secure foundation and providing the homeowner with long-awaited peace of mind.
Dave and Tammy have renters in their second home, and were alerted when the basement started leaking. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the home inspected, and hopefully come up with a solution. Joe not only offered them a solution of WaterGuard and a SuperSump to waterproofing the basement, but brought attention the bowing wall. He suggested that a PowerBrace system be installed to permanently stabilized the wall and prevent any future worsening. The PowerBraces also offer the option of tightening the I-Beam and potentially straighten the wall back to normal. Dave and Tammy’s tenants can now live in a waterproofed, stable home.
