Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you can see how the foundation walls of this Bettendorf, IA home were on the brink of complete failure. The homeowner knew something needed to be done to prevent further damage and maintain their home's structural integrity. We stepped in with our PowerBrace system, a zinc-plated steel beam solution designed to permanently stabilize those walls. As shown in the after photo, our approach required no invasive drilling or excavating, ensuring no more inward wall movement, and safeguarding the home's foundation for the future. 

In Dubuque, IA, a homeowner faced a challenging issue with settlement in the corner of their home, leading to a significant stair step crack. As seen in the before photo, the crack was beginning to severely separate, threatening the foundation's integrity. To address this and prevent lasting damage, we installed a Helical Pier System. This engineered solution effectively stabilized the foundation. While the difference in the after photo may not seem shocking, the footing of the home is now secure and supported, preventing the crack from worsening and protecting the foundation for years to come. 

Take a look at the foundation repair project we recently completed in De Witt, IA. In the before photo, you'll notice the basement wall was significantly bowing, raising concerns for the homeowner. Our experienced team quickly assessed the situation and installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. As shown in the after photo, the heavy-duty steel anchors now hole the wall securely in place, protecting it from further movement. This installation, suitable for any season, restores not just the property's structural value but also the homeowners peace of mind. 

Imagine this: You're happily strolling through your house, humming a tune, when suddenly—you notice the floor just doesn't quite feel even. Makes you feel a little uneasy right? That's exactly what happened to a homeowner in Silvis, Illinois. But instead of letting wobbly floors shake their peace of mind, they called in the foundation-saving heroes at MidAmerica Basement Systems. And guess what? In just one day, their wonky basement was transformed into a sturdy haven with the use of SmartJacks!

During an annual maintenance of a waterproofing system in Silvis, IL, our keen-eyed technician discovered a bowing wall, as you can see in the before photo. Concerned about potential worsening, we took swift action by installing our PowerBrace System to stabilize the wall. With zinc-plated steel beams custom-fit and tightly secured, the imminent risk was permanently addressed. Thanks to the PowerBrace's innovative design, not only do these beams secure the wall, but they also allow for adjustments overtime, maintaining the wall's stability without digging or drilling.
