Before & After Photos

This project was completed by Midwest within a single day. The homeowner contacted us when she noticed a bowing foundation wall because she had prior experience working with us and was confident in our ability to deliver. To fix this issue, we utilized PowerBraces. PowerBraces serve to support, stabilize, and gradually straighten the foundation wall to its original position over time.

High humidity, standing water, and sagging floors. These are the symptoms a homeowner in Hudson, Iowa reported to Midwest Foundation Repair when he sought to our help. The issues all stemmed from the crawl space. 

The crawl space was made of clay so water could not properly drain on its own. This water led to the building humidity and excess moisture, which led to rotting support jacks underneath the floors, which eventually led to the sagging floors in the home. 

The production team installed a sump pump to drain the standing water, then installed drain matting and CleanSpace barrier to reduce moisture buildup, and new rim joists to stabilize where the floors had started to sag. This extreme renovation not only helped to solve the homeowner's problems but also prevents the leaks from reoccurring in the future. This is how we help restore our customers' peace of mind!

This customer's home had bowing walls, a problem that can occur from pressure exerted by expansive soils. This bowing has led to cracks in the joints between the concrete blocks, putting the home's structure at risk. To address this issue, we installed our PowerBrace foundation repair system. PowerBrace ensures long-term stability and protection against corrosion, and the installation process is quick and efficient. 

Mold in your basement can seriously impact your health, as this customer found out. Breathing in the spores that grow when your basement is damp can lead to: 

allergies

immune suppression

lung disease

chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

asthma

To stop the mold from wreaking havoc on this home any longer, we installed CleanSpace barrier which is 100% waterproof and comes with a 25-year warranty!

Concrete slabs can crack, sink, and settle over time due to poorly compacted soil. This can lead to issues like cracked floors and sagging interiors, which is what this customer was experiencing when they called us. 

We used push piers that are designed to shift the weight of the foundation onto the piers and off of the soil. Our push piers work because they are able to reinforce at the critical tension point.  Our foundation pier systems are custom-designed and can be installed year-round. We offer options in black steel and galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. Our installation process is fast and our push piers come with a 25-year warranty.
