Before & After Photos

Homeowner Tjode notice that his home was experiencing wall failure and wanted to use someone that could explain what was needed to repair.

We sent System Design Specialist, Tyler, to the home to provide a same-day free estimate.  We stabilized the wall with Powerbraces to prevent the wall from failing and further damage to the foundation.  The customer was very happy with our process from free estimate to completion.

This homeowner had a block wall leaning in their basement. They wanted to start remodeling their basement, so they knew the first thing they had to do was address their bowing wall. So they called Midwest. 

Jon Patterson performed the inspection and decided the best solution for these failing walls were to install PowerBraces. Our install team got onsite and successfully were able to stabilize the bowing walls and save their basement and foundation. Now the homeowner is excited to get started on finishing the basement. 

This customer in Des Moines, IA was having problems with the pooling water around his patio and deck. He was worried this would eventually damage his patio and later cause him larger problems with his foundation. Having used Thrasher in the past for other projects, he knows he could trust us to get the job done right for him.

When the team came out, they determined that he had a drainage issue that was causing the pooling in these areas. The crew decided that the best solution would be to use a buried downspout extension. Downspout extensions are a more efficient way to carry water away from your home's foundation, they provide a continuous path for the water to flow to an area safely away.  

After the installation of the downspout, this customer no longer has to worry about damage to his patio or foundation and can enjoy the space without the pooling water. 

Wet spring soils swelled up with water pushed this basement wall inward.  As you can see the crack in the wall is opened up wide.  About a half of an inch.  The next photo will show the wall is pushed back and the crack is closing as the wall is straightened. 

These homeowners had used our services previously when their family moved into their home, so when they found a large wall problem upon remodeling their downstairs bathroom, they knew just who to call. System Design Specialist Kevin French came out to this home once again to inspect the wall problem and determine what happened and how to fix it. Kevin found that the previous seller of the home was hiding wall damage by putting the unfinished bathroom in so that the leaking and wall cracks wouldn't effect the sale. He was shocked at this problem and so were the homeowners, but he knew just how to help them so that this problem could be fixed quickly. One of our installation teams came out to the house and utilized PowerBraces, GeoLock Wall Anchors, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to effectively support, strengthen, and waterproof the basement so that no more surprise problems will hurt the homeowners' basement. The homeowners loved the job that the installation team did and they couldn't believe how cleaned up it was after the team left. Check out the PowerBraces installed!
