MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Bowing walls can cause foundation cracks and shifts, weakening the support to the rest of your home. GeoLock Wall Anchors from MidAmerica Basement Systems help stop the wall(s) from worsening, and provide the option of straightening your foundation walls back to their original state. Rather the foundation wall is leaning or sliding in at the base of the wall, the GeoLock system secures a strong hold in the ground creating the pull on the wall, stopping the inward bow, while potentially straightening it out. The sleek design of the system prevents it from interfering with the rest of your home.

Prior to waterproofing, this Wenona, IL basement showed obvious signs of water issues.

La Salle homeowners needed permanent solutions for their wet basement so they turned to the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team made the basement dry by installing CleanSpace to the bottom of the wall, WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump system. The homeowners are actually looking forward to the next big rain to watch the systems do their magic!

Sandra was having issues with water entering her crawlspace, causing the rest of her basement to become damp. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her crawlspace encapsulated and install a waterproofing system. Adao offered CleanSpace and a SmartSump to seal off the exposed ground and keep moisture out of the crawlspace. CleanSpace uses a thick liner that will not tear or rip, or mold. Sealing off the moisture from the rest of the home, helps keep humidity levels down, and installing a SmartSump insures the crawlspace will not become wet.

Dustin was noticing stair-step cracking in his block foundation and grew concern. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue looked at to find out what solution would best fit his home. It was noted that the walls had begun to bow, causing the cracking. A GeoLock Wall Anchor system was offered to stabilize the walls, preventing them from worsening over time. GeoLock Anchors are placed outside the home’s foundation, locking into the soil to produce the appropriate hold needed for the failing walls. Galvanized steel walls are than attached to the foundation walls to lock the system into place. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system allows for the walls to be tightened over time, increasing the chances of straightening the walls to their original state.
