Dale and Mary were noticing water seeping in through their basement walls and floors and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. During inspection, it was addressed to have a waterproofing system installed, along with a foundation support system. WaterGuard and Lateral drains were suggested for installation to collect any seeping water from the walls and floors, preventing the water from surfacing. A TripleSafe and a SuperSump systems were installed to accommodate the amounts of water that entered the basement. A PowerBrace system was installed due to the foundation walls bowing, which had caused the walls to crack and leak water. The PowerBrace system supports the foundation walls, stopping them from worsening. Both systems work together to keep Dale and Mary’s basement dry.

Noah was beginning to notice cracking in his block basement wall foundation. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his home inspected. During evaluation, a PowerBrace system was offered to address the problem. The galvanized steel beams, similar to an I-Beam system, prevents future rusting and rotting of the metal. Using the wooden floor joist system, the PowerBrace system is strategically placed along the wall to exert to proper pressure to the foundation without damaging the rest of the home. The patented tightening system allows for the exact pressure needed against the wall to preventing the wall from worsening, and over time, can be tightened to straighten the wall back it its original state.

William was noticing foundation cracking on his basement walls, and contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. During inspection, it was addressed that all four of his foundation wall were bowing. It was suggested having a GeoLock Wall Anchor system installed on three of the four walls. The wall anchor system anchors to varying depths outside, underground, to apply the proper forced needed, preventing the walls for worsening. On the fourth wall, a PowerBrace system was installed due to many outside structures that prevented the installation of a GeoLock Wall Anchor System. PowerBraces still offer the same stabilization abilities as wall anchors, but are used in different situations. Both systems offer a tightening system that can, over time, straighten the walls back to their original state, leaving the home in a stable condition.

With a properly sealed basement window and a new waterproofing system, Vicki no longer worries of a wet basement.
