Before & After Photos

This homeowner was struggling with his steps as they were tied into his foundation, yet they had started to settle and pull away from his house. He was unsure of what to do in order to fix this problem, so he called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Elliot Moles to inspect the steps and figure out what happened to the homeowner's steps. Elliot found that the steps settled due to soil erosion, however because they were tied into the foundation, this put an extra stress on the foundation that compromised the safety of the home. After talking to the homeowner about options to fix this, the homeowner decided to lift his stairs with us. Our team used Helical Piers to lift the stairs back to their original position and to secure the foundation. 

The homeowner was happy with the project when it was complete. Check out his lifted stairs!

During an annual service appointment Service Technician Ryan Allen was able to identify foundation problems in Daryl B.’s home. During the inspection Ryan was able to show Daryl increasing wall failure and deflection. This led to a conversation about how to stop the wall failure from getting worse and permanent solutions to save the walls.

Due to moving soils and water issues, there was pressure on the walls which was leading to wall failure. The crew installed PowerBraces, which are galvanized I-beams that are securely fastened to concrete basement floors and attached to the joists, fully stabilizing the foundation walls from shifting ever again. Daryl B. was extremely pleased with this solution to prevent future issues.

By scheduling annual maintenance appointments, we were able to detect a problem and come up with a solution that led to earlier detection and cost savings.

This homeowner called us to address their basement wall because It seemed to be bending inward. When we inspected the wall we saw that it was in stage 2 wall failure. To fix this, we installed wall anchors because the customer couldn't use PowerBraces due to the stairs being very close to the wall. 

Longtime homeowner Bruce R. was looking for a solution stabilize his home. He previously had Midwest come out to his home, but he felt now was the right time to fix the foundation.

We sent System Design Specialist Nicholas Hruska out to the home. The footings in the back of the home had started to settle and there were some foundation cracks appearing in the drywall.  We were able to install 12 Push Piers on the back of the home full stabilizing the foundation. Bruce was not only please the quality of work completed, but with also how well the crew worked together.

At Midwest, we understand the importance of a sturdy and secure foundation for your home. This homeowner was experiencing issues with their current wall support system, and the failing wall was posing a threat to the stored items and the overall stability of the structure. Our team was determined to find a solution that would provide long-lasting support and prevent further damage. After careful assessment, we recommended the installation of PowerBraces to stabilize the wall effectively. Replacing the failing wall support system was a challenge we were ready to tackle head-on. We completed the work on time and ensured that the customer was fully informed every step of the way. The customer expressed their satisfaction, stating, "I am very pleased with everything they have done, starting with the inspection recommendations; everybody seemed very professional, and the work was done on time. When the work's all done, he took me through everything that they did."
