Returning customer Jamie had a waterproofing system installed his basement. He recently was noticing his foundation walls beginning to crack and bow. During inspection, it was proposed having a GeoLock Wall Anchor System installed to the cracked and bowing wall. The anchor system permanently stops the wall from bowing, and over time, can potentially be straightened back to the original state.

Hersh was concerned about the water that water coming in through the basement wall, and then realized it was because of a wall bowing. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to permanently stop his walls from worsening. During his evaluation, Chris offered him the solution of a PowerBrace system. PowerBraces use the wooden floor joist system of your home to properly support the pressure exhorted against the failing wall, without damaging the rest of the home. The patented PowerBrace system also allows for the I-Beams to be tightened over time, which can increase the chances of straightening the walls back to normal in time.
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 with constant anxiety over a potential cave-in. These unsightly worry lines were more than just a cosmetic issue; they were a clear warning sign that the home’s very foundation was losing its battle against the elements.
Under the expert direction of Foreman Brian Lopez, our team transformed the failing space into a model of structural integrity using the GeoLock Wall Anchor and PowerBrace systems. The formerly leaning walls are now standing tall and true, permanently braced against external pressure and secured for the long haul. With the structural threat neutralized, the wall woes have vanished, replaced by a solid, secure basement and a very relieved homeowner who can finally enjoy peace of mind.
