Before & After Photos

Foundation stabilization in Dubuque, IA 

Homeowners Michael and Bobbi Jo have lived in their 1970’s home for the last 15 years. They recently had work done to their home to fix a bowing wall. MidAmerica Basement System thinks it is very important to have annual maintenance done on the system that we install to ensure their lifespan and quality. During one of their service calls Service Technician Adao noticed some cracking in the wall. To fix this problem Adao had filled the crack with an injection to make sure that it will not get any worse.

Jennifer and Troy have lived in their 1995 home for the last 16 years. Last year she noticed that the concrete walls outside of her basement. The walls were bowing and failing and needed a permanent solution. They had helical tiebacks installed to fix the fall and make sure that it would not happen again. The helical tie backs will make sure that the wall is restored to its former integrity. 

Take a look at the foundation repair project we recently completed in De Witt, IA. In the before photo, you'll notice the basement wall was significantly bowing, raising concerns for the homeowner. Our experienced team quickly assessed the situation and installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. As shown in the after photo, the heavy-duty steel anchors now hole the wall securely in place, protecting it from further movement. This installation, suitable for any season, restores not just the property's structural value but also the homeowners peace of mind. 

Carl recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his bowing wall evaluated. During his inspection, it was noted that not one, but two basement walls were bowing inward and needed to be addressed to prevent future worsening. A 10 PowerBrace system was offered to stabilize the failing foundation. The galvanized steel I-Beam system prevents the PowerBraces from oxidizing and rusting over time, giving the foundation the permanent stabilization that is needed. The I-Beam system also offers an opportunity to straighten the wall back to its original position without damaging the wooden floor joist system. Carl now has stabilized walls and no longer worries of a failing foundation.
