The homeowner was experiencing a settling foundation in two areas of his home and needed professional guidance. Our team installed helical piers to both stabilize and achieve a lift which would raise the home back to its original position. The homeowner was able to have everything he wanted for his foundation thanks to the guidance and installation of the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team.
In Cedar Rapids, IA, a church parsonage faced issues with bowing walls, posing long-term concern for the church. In the before photo, you can see slight signs of distress in the wall, potentially threatening the home's structural integrity. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the foundation effectively. As the after photo reveals, our solution solidified the walls, ensuring permanency without invasive digging or drilling.
In Waverly, IA, heavy rains put immense pressure on this homeowner's basement wall, making the existing bow even worse. As shown in the before photo, this raised concerns for safety before listing the home for sale. We provided a lasting solution with our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace system is securely anchored to prevent further movement and can be adjusted over time. Notice in the after photo how the zinc-plated steel beams have stabilized the wall. Our approach ensures peace of mind for the current resident and the next homeowners alike.
This Waterloo, IA home was affected by weakened floor joists in the basement, leaving the floors unlevel. We addressed the issue using SmartJacks and supplemental beams, as seen in the after photo. The SmartJack system along with the supplemental beams stabilized the weakened joists, bringing the floor back to its original position and reducing floor bounce. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we provide solutions you can rely on, delivering remarkable homeowner experience by providing safe and healthy homes for everyone.
