Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Des Moines, Iowa wanted to sell their home, but a cracked, bowing wall in the basement was scaring away potential buyers. Midwest Foundation Repair got the call to resolve the problem quickly and professionally, and that's what we did - installing our PowerBrace wall support system to restore stability to the wall and set potential home buyers minds at ease. In the end, this homeowner was able to sell their home and the new home buyer received warrantied work they can rely on.

Wall brace and beam solutions are used to repair bowing, buckling, or significant cracks in foundation walls. These walls now have the support needed to maintain a firm structure for the home. See how our solutions can help you!

As you can see, this section of concrete has settled at the seam or joint.  For several years it was a small duck pond holding water after local rain.  With our revolutionary PolyLEVEL system we were able to restore the sidewalk slap back to level, and do it at a fraction of the cost of replacement.  The concrete cosmetically is the same color and matches the surroundings.

These homeowners starting seeing water stains and cracking forming in their basement. They were worried about mold, allergens and water coming through the wall, so they called Midwest! They wanted the job to be done right the first time, and knew they could trust us to take care of them. Brandon Rost, System Design Specialist, came out to meet them. After the inspection, Brandon proposed installing CleanSpace, PowerBraces, and a Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace would be used as a barrier between the wall and the basement. CleanSpace helps prevent water from entering the basement, as well as preventing mold from forming and allergens from getting in. CleanSpace is waterproof, so if water gets in, it flows down the tarp like material and into the waterproofing system. This way, water does not sit in one place, which can cause mold to grow. To help the cracking and slight deflection of the wall, he proposed PowerBraces. These are metal braces that are installed to the wall that stop the walls from caving in anymore, as well as can help straighten the wall over time. The dehumidifier would also help prevent mold from growing by keeping the moisture levels down. The homeowners were excited with this idea, and we sent out the installation team. The homeowners were happy they were able to understand why the problems they were facing were happening, and what the best solution was. Check out the before and after photos of these walls!
