Before & After Photos

Donald begun to notice cracking on his basement walls and grew much concern. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his situation investigated. Once Mike arrived to inspect his home, it was made note that the walls had begun to bow inward. Mike offered the permanent solution to stabilize the walls with CarbonArmor. CarbonArmor is a uniquely flexible carbon fiber strip that adheres to the wall. When installed with the ArmorLock system, the wall become permanently stable, stopping the wall from worsening, and preventing the rest of the from tipping and shifting. Donald no longer has to worry of an unstable foundation.

Austin was having issues with large foundation cracks in his basement and reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Mac evaluated his situation and offered him a PowerBrace system. PowerBraces are galvanized steel I-Beam that permanently stabilized and stop the walls from worsening. The patented tightening system allows for the beams to be tightened over time, giving the walls the possibility to straighten. For additional and proper support, crossbeams were installed with the PowerBrace systems, giving the extremely bowed area extra strength. Austin now has a system that stabilizes his foundation, and prevents it from worsening.

In Rock Island, IL, a homeowner faced unsettling concerns about the structural integrity of their main level floors, which seemed unsteady. To address this, we installed the SmartJack system. Notice in the 'after' photo how our solution has stabilized the beams and floor joists in the basement. The galvanized steel SmartJacks effectively redistribute the home's weight, lifting the floors back towards their original elevation and reducing any unwanted bounce.
