Before & After Photos

Midwest Foundation Repair recently installed SmartJack manufactured here in the USA to stabilize a sagging floor. If you are noticing sagging or bouncy floors call today for a free estimate.  

This homeowner had a block foundation wall that was bowing in and he was concerned that the wall was going  to collapse. After getting a few estimates, he knew that he needed our help and expertise to fix his bowing wall.

We sent System Design Specialist Mike Portel to inspect the bowing wall and determine what was causing this. Mike found that the soil on the outside of the block wall foundation, causing the wall foundation to fall inwards. He also noticed that there were cracks in the wall that appeared to have grown over time. Mike and the team installed PowerBraces so that the homeowner could move his foundation walls back to their position over time.

The homeowner was very happy with the quality of work and with the professionalism of the group. Check out his new PowerBrace System. 

When our team walked into this home through the front door, there was an obvious bounce in the floor. Upon investigation, the floor was being held up by telephone poles that were cut to fit but they were not strong enough to hold keep holding the home up. Also, the floor was not level. The homeowner was concerned about the bounce and the ability of the floor to withstand weight since it was not supported very well. We fixed the problem by adding SmartJacks to the crawlspace to hold up the floor. There are 2 supplemental beams that run the length of the house. We added 5 Smartjacks to the front of the home and 5 more SmartJacks to the back of the home. We also added a supplemental beam in-between the existing cinderblock supports to finish supporting the house/floor from sagging and bouncing.  

Returning customers Jessica and Chris J’s back patio and front sidewalk were starting to sink. Water was starting to pool on their back patio and with a young daughter, they wanted a safe spot for her to play. Having had previous concrete repair done with us, they decided to give us another call.

System Design Specialist, Dan King came out and was able to identify the problem. The water was pooling because the soil under the rest of the patio was making it go in all different directions. The control joints expanded the slab openings and allowed water to easily access the soil.

We were able to fix the concrete in the back and front by using PolyLevel to level and stabilize the patio and front step. We then used Nexus Pro to fill in all of the control joints and cracks to prevent water from entering again.

The homeowner indicated that the sidewalk has not been usable for some time and his wife had been wanting it fixed. On top of that, they didn't like the aesthetics of the damaged concrete. We fixed it by filling the voids under the concrete with Polylevel foam. We also filled the cracks and joints with NexusPro to make sure that the soil under the slab wound’t erode again and cause the concrete to sink
