When it's Too Late For Any Other Solution, EverBrace Can Still Help. Oskaloosa, IA

At Midwest, we take pride in providing innovative solutions to our customers, and one of our remarkable services is the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System. When these homeowners faced the issue of a buckling foundation, they relied on our system to address these concerns before they escalated into foundation wall failure, which can be both complex and expensive to fix. 

 

EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System utilizes steel corrugated panels and beams that work together to stabilize foundation walls, providing strength and support. Once the walls are properly supported, we go a step further and inject rigid foam to fill any voids behind the steel panels. This approach ensures that the load is transferred from the failing structure to the new, durable support panels. With our expertise and EverBrace system, we can offer homeowners a less disruptive alternative to total foundation replacement, providing them with peace of mind and a structurally sound home for years to come.

EverBrace Foundation Repair in Oskaloosa, IA

This customer bought a new house in September, knowing that it had problems with the foundation. They had a plan to sell the house in 3-4 years and make some money by fixing the foundation issues. To make sure the foundation was stable for the future, they came to us at Midwest for help.

 

We have a great solution called the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System that is perfect for fixing even the worst foundation walls. It's made of steel that is coated with zinc, so it won't get damaged easily. The best part is that the EverBrace™ System doesn't cause a lot of disruption when we install it. It's a quick and easy process compared to other ways of fixing foundation walls. And once it's installed, it can be hidden behind drywall, so it won't affect how the homeowner's space looks.

 

Not only did our solution fix the foundation issues, but it also protected against any future damage to the structure. It works well with basement waterproofing systems too, so the homeowner gets extra protection. No matter what the foundation walls were made of, whether it was fieldstone, clay block, or brick, EverBrace can fix it.

Sitting Water Solved with TripleSafe System in Mason City, IA

This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry because he had been struggling with water sitting in his basement. He had used our services previously, so he knew just who to call when he needed waterproofing solutions.

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the basement and determine what was causing water to get into the homeowners basement. Michael found that there were no waterproofing systems in place to protect the homeowner's basement, so water was not leaving the basement once it got in. Also, Michael saw that the drainage system was not pumping water out of the drains as they easily froze over in the winter and prevented water from getting out. Michael discussed with the homeowner some options for waterproofing as well as fixing the small drainage system, and the homeowner decided to start with fixing the drainage system. Our installation team installed 2 TripleSafe Sump Pump Systems included 4 IceGuards which protect the sump pump from freezing over in the winter. These sump pumps will also help to pump water out of the basement as opposed to the previous drainage system which only ran water downhill.

The homeowner was thrilled with the final product and he already notices the difference in water getting out of his basement. Check out the new outdoor draining transformation!

Basement Waterproofing in Ottumwa, IA

This homeowner wanted to have a dry basement because it was getting harder and harder for him to keep mopping up all of the water. He wanted this problem solved by experts in basement waterproofing, so he gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Luke Miller to inspect the basement and determine what was causing water to get into the basement as well as design a comprehensive solution to keep water out. Luke found that the floor/wall join around the perimeter of the basement was leaking water onto the floor as well as through some cracks in the floor itself. Upon seeing this, he knew that full perimeter solution was needed as well as a lateral line to capture water that was seeping in through the floor cracks, so he called for an installation team as per the homeowner's request. One of our installation teams utilized a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System as well as a partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. After that, they  installed a lateral line to capture water that was coming through the middle of the floor before it could get into the basement. They topped it off by installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to push all of this water up and away from the basement. The homeowner was very pleased with the end result and he thought that his installation looked very clean. Check out the new waterproofing systems this homeowner has!
