Before & After Photos

PowerBraces installed to help bowing walls in Vinton, IA

In Fredericksburg, IA, a simple request for a new "hangout room" revealed some common childhood nemeses: damp corners and a layout that didn't meet safety codes. As the "before" photos show, it was far from a dream space. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to handle the foundation and waterproofing with expert precision. By installing a high-quality Egress System, we transformed a damp problem into a safe, daughter-approved living area. Now, the only thing left in that basement is total peace of mind.

A homeowner in Kalona, IA contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their sidewalk leveled. The sidewalk started to sink down around the entrance of the homeowner's home. This was an area that was used frequently, so the homeowner contacted us to help them fix it!

PolyLevel was injected underneath the slab to lift it back up to its normal state. It has the same idea of mudjacking but is less of a hassle and mess. PolyLevel is also waterproof and will not shrink or degrade over time. Leaving the sidewalk or driveway in great condition for season and time to come!

If you are looking to have your concrete leveled, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be happy to send a Design Specialist out to your home to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!

Bowing walls can lead to water leakage and unstable foundation for your home. With help from MidAmerica Basement Systems, we offer permanent solutions to stop bowing walls all together, while providing a stable foundation. To address the leaking, CleanSpace is often applied against the wall. This provides a moisture barrier between the wall and basement, and is directed towards a drainage system. One option for stabilizing the walls is a PowerBrace system. The patented tightening, I-Beam system not only permanently stops the wall from worsening, but can offer the opportunity to straighten the wall back to its original state over time.

In Center Point, IA, a homeowner was troubled by sagging, unsteady floors on their main level. Seeking a permanent fix, they turned to us. As showcased here, or solution was the installation of SmartJacks in the basement, a strategic choice even though the visible issues were upstairs. Notice in the after photo how precisely and effectively the SmartJacks were installed to restore stability and confidence in the home's structure. This is just another example of living up to our mission of delivering both a remarkable customer experience and a long-lasting solution to a critical problem.
