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 Bettendorf, IA, this homeowner faced worsening driveway cracks, worried replacement would be necessary if left unchecked.

Jonathan was having issues with water coming in through his basement and quickly called MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was offered a waterproofing system to keep water from surfacing, but because the wall and floors were pour as one whole foundation, a special tactic was done. Weep holes were drilled into the walls foundation to allow water to enter, and a CleanSpace strip was installed over top of the holes. Adding CleanSpace helps direct the water to a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a drainage track that collects water and redirects it to a sump pump. Jonathan no longer has water in his basement thanks to MidAmerica Basement Systems.
