When this special education school found their foundation crumbling during a remodel, they called in the A-team. Salesman Terry Meiners diagnosed the "shaky ground," and Foreman Toney Genova stepped in to lead the heavy lifting.
Before: Walls that couldn't hold their own.
After: A structural masterpiece featuring PowerBraces and WaterGuard.
We’ve officially sent those leaks and structural cracks to permanent detention! Now, the school can get back to what matters most: learning. Great work, Terry and Toney!
The homeowners of this older farmhouse in Annawan were concerned about the condition of the basement walls so they had the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team come out and help them. The team installed Geo-Lock wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the walls. The homeowners have a safer, stable basement!
Faced with an unstable foundation, these homeowners in Thompson, IL, wanted to ensure their property's stability before selling. As you can see in the before photo, the foundation walls showed signs of failure, a critical issue for their peace of mind and market value. We installed our PowerBrace system, a proven solution, which is evident in the after photo. This system involves zinc-plated steel beams that are custom-fit and anchored securely. With this durable installation, the foundation is stable, making a safe transformation possible without any invasive work.
We recently had the opportunity to help this Pekin, IL homeowner with their bowing basement wall. Bowing walls are a serious concern as they can worsen over time and lead to more costly repairs. Thankfully, she gave us a call at the perfect time! We utilized our PowerBrace System, a patented foundation repair solution that uses steel beams installed vertically against a basement wall and anchored to the floor and ceiling to permanently stabilize and potentially straighten inward-bowing foundation walls. An extra advantage is the system's potential to straighten the wall over time: the adjustable top bracket allows the beam to be tightened during dry periods, which can gradually improve the wall's alignment. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team, the Pekin homeowners' worry about their unstable basement wall is now gone. If you are struggling with a cracked or bowing foundation, don't hesitate to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems today.
A homeowner in Pekin, IL with a home built in the 1900s started to notice their home having some wear and tear. The walls have begun to bow inward and crack and the flooring has begun to sag and begin to rot. Knowing this was a bigger issue than what they could fix on their own, the homeowner searched the internet to come across a well-known industry in their area, MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help them out! Your flooring can weaken and rot over time and cause the flooring to sag. Floor framing can be spanned too far out making the floor start to sag. Piers that have been installed with improper footings can sink. There could also be too much weight added to a floor system that is not designed to handle the load. There is a system that can be installed that would fix this issue, a SmartJack floor support system. SmartJack is an adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and raise your flooring back to where it was. It is designed with an adjustable screw that can jack up the floor and can always be adjusted again in the future. Having a SmartJack installed within the homeowner's home eliminated several worries this homeowner once had. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team this home is looking great! If you too are looking to have a wall stabilized or have your flooring no longer sag, or wanting to learn more about the other services we offer, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems.
