Imagine this: You're happily strolling through your house, humming a tune, when suddenly—you notice the floor just doesn't quite feel even. Makes you feel a little uneasy right? That's exactly what happened to a homeowner in Silvis, Illinois. But instead of letting wobbly floors shake their peace of mind, they called in the foundation-saving heroes at MidAmerica Basement Systems. And guess what? In just one day, their wonky basement was transformed into a sturdy haven with the use of SmartJacks!
During an annual maintenance of a waterproofing system in Silvis, IL, our keen-eyed technician discovered a bowing wall, as you can see in the before photo. Concerned about potential worsening, we took swift action by installing our PowerBrace System to stabilize the wall. With zinc-plated steel beams custom-fit and tightly secured, the imminent risk was permanently addressed. Thanks to the PowerBrace's innovative design, not only do these beams secure the wall, but they also allow for adjustments overtime, maintaining the wall's stability without digging or drilling.
This East Moline home was facing an array of issues throughout the basement. From bowing walls to leaking with with heavy rain, the homeowners knew they needed to take action and get foundation repairs. After a thorough inspection, it was decided that they were in need of an Everbrace wall support system as well as a Sanidry to keep the basement free of moisture. It was a big foundation fix for our crews but they got the job done and the basement walls are now stabilized.
When this East Moline homeowner noticed a worrying hairline crack with slight bowing inward on their foundation wall (as seen in the before photo), they knew it was time to call in the professionals. That's where we came in. Our solution was simple yet incredibly effective: installing PowerBraces. This product not only halted further damage but also provided a long-term fix to the foundation issue. As the after photo proudly displays, the wall is now stabilized, future-proofing this home against similar issues and giving peace of mind back to the homeowner.
Retaining walls prove beneficial until they exhibit bowing issues, as seen at this Knoxville, IL residence. To address this concern, we installed 6 Geo-Lock wall anchors. These anchors consist of durable steel plates connected by a rod, firmly anchored into the ground to stabilize the wall and prevent further outward movement. Geo-Lock anchors are highly effective for both foundation and retaining walls!
