In the after photo, you can see how these high-quality windows not only improve the appearance but also help in reducing energy costs by providing better insulation. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, our customers come first in providing effective, lasting home improvements.
In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner grew concerned about how their severely uneven concrete slabs would impact their home's resale value and future inspection reports. To address these stark safety and structural concerns before they escalated, System Design Specialist Daniel Kelchen evaluated the site and designed a rapid stabilization strategy. Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration using advanced soil-stabilization and leveling techniques.
The team began by injecting high-density PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the sunken slabs. This lightweight, commercial-grade polymer expanded rapidly to fill underground voids, consolidate the loose subgrade, and lift the heavy concrete plates back to a perfectly flush position.
To safeguard the repair and extend the lifespan of the driveway, Justin and Devin sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro® Joint Sealant, preventing future water infiltration and soil erosion. Thanks to the meticulous workmanship of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the property was left with a safe, level surface, protecting both the homeowner's peace of mind and their financial investment.
The basement in this Cedar Rapid home was experiencing water damage from leaks that left an evident mold growth along the bottom of the foundation walls and basement floor. The experts at MidAmerica Basements Systems addressed the leak by installing WaterGuard, which is specifically designed to redirect wall leaks to a local sump pump.
The team also lined the bottom half of the foundation walls with the ever so durable and efficient CleanSpace liner which contains an anti-microbial additive that resists mold and bacteria growth. The space is transformed with minimal investment, leaving a healthier basement and happier owner.
This homeowner was deeply concerned with the condition of his sloping foundation and decided to get a hold of the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The foundation is now supported with the installation of Helical Piers. The project’s success lifted a huge weight off of the homeowner!
