Before & After

The homeowner of this basement in Clinton called the professionals at MidAmerica basement Systems and explained that the house was built in the 50's and had leaking walls. The outside drainage was poor and they weren't sure if the basement walls were waterproofed. The design specialist sent to provide an inspection, however, noticed a bigger problem - bowing foundation walls. Realizing that any work done could be compromised by caving foundation walls, the homeowner wanted to permanently stabilize the walls. The team installed the PowerBrace system. PowerBrace is made to permanently support basement walls and has a patented tightening system that could potentially improve the walls condition over time.
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.

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.
