In Sterling, IL, a homeowner faced a serious problem with a deteriorating foundation wall where the bricks had begun to fall, endagering the home's structural stability. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to provide a tailored solution. Using the EverBrace Wall Restoration System, we permanently stabilized the failing wall. As seen in the after photo, we utilized steel corrugated panels with steel I-beams, and injected specialized rigid foam begind them. This not only restored the wall's strength but also offers protection against future damage.
Who knew a basement could double as a swimming pool? In the "before" photo, you’ll see why this homeowner in Sterling, IL, was keen to call us—they were dealing with an Olympic-sized water nuisance, thanks to leaking drywall and a persistently damp foundation.
Our team, led by Salesman Andrew Sagar and Foreman Jacob Oetzman, stepped in to turn the tide. Our waterproofing experts worked their magic using a powerhouse combination of:
WaterGuard: To catch seepage at the source.
TripleSafe Sump Pump: For ultimate peace of mind and backup protection.
CleanSpace: To seal out moisture and brighten the space.
The "after" photo tells a completely different story. With the water hazard officially cleared, this basement is finally ready for a fresh coat of paint and maybe even a pool table—the kind that stays dry.
Over time the ground underneath concrete begins to settle, causing voids between the ground and concrete. This can than cause the concrete to sink into the void, leaving large spaces between concrete slabs. Mudjacking is a temporary solution, and over time, it causes the same issue. Injecting PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken slabs. The lightweight material offers less weight to the failing soil, preventing future soil settlements. PolyLevel uses an accurate injection that fills the voids, and then lifts, levels, and stabilizes the concrete.
