The homeowner of this basement in Clinton called the professionals at MidAmerica basement Systems and explained that the house was built in the 50's and had leaking walls. The outside drainage was poor and they weren't sure if the basement walls were waterproofed. The design specialist sent to provide an inspection, however, noticed a bigger problem - bowing foundation walls. Realizing that any work done could be compromised by caving foundation walls, the homeowner wanted to permanently stabilize the walls. The team installed the PowerBrace system. PowerBrace is made to permanently support basement walls and has a patented tightening system that could potentially improve the walls condition over time.

The homeowners of this older farmhouse in Annawan were concerned about the condition of the basement walls so they had the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team come out and help them.

We recently had the opportunity to help this Pekin, IL homeowner with their bowing basement wall. Bowing walls are a serious concern as they can worsen over time and lead to more costly repairs. Thankfully, she gave us a call at the perfect time! We utilized our PowerBrace System, a patented foundation repair solution that uses steel beams installed vertically against a basement wall and anchored to the floor and ceiling to permanently stabilize and potentially straighten inward-bowing foundation walls. An extra advantage is the system's potential to straighten the wall over time: the adjustable top bracket allows the beam to be tightened during dry periods, which can gradually improve the wall's alignment. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team, the Pekin homeowners' worry about their unstable basement wall is now gone. If you are struggling with a cracked or bowing foundation, don't hesitate to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems today.

A homeowner in Pekin, IL with a home built in the 1900s started to notice their home having some wear and tear. The walls have begun to bow inward and crack and the flooring has begun to sag and begin to rot. Knowing this was a bigger issue than what they could fix on their own, the homeowner searched the internet to come across a well-known industry in their area, MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help them out! Your flooring can weaken and rot over time and cause the flooring to sag. Floor framing can be spanned too far out making the floor start to sag. Piers that have been installed with improper footings can sink. There could also be too much weight added to a floor system that is not designed to handle the load. There is a system that can be installed that would fix this issue, a SmartJack floor support system. SmartJack is an adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and raise your flooring back to where it was. It is designed with an adjustable screw that can jack up the floor and can always be adjusted again in the future. Having a SmartJack installed within the homeowner's home eliminated several worries this homeowner once had. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team this home is looking great!
