Before & After Photos

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!

 Homeowner Justin was having issues with the foundation of his home. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about why his foundation was failing and what he could do to fix it. The best option for his home was having GeoLock Wall Anchors installed. The wall anchors use the earth to hold the wall in place and straighten it. The GeoLock Wall Anchors can permanently stabilize your walls by using the earth and heavy duty galvanized anchors to hold to wall in place. A unique and important benefit of the GeoLock wall anchors can be tightened when the soil shrinks during dry season.

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. 

Margaret & Robert noticed bulging, bowing walls in their basement which would leak water in during rain fall. Oscar Munoz had the privilege of installing PowerBeams in the homeowner’s basement to help the walls from bowing and collapsing in.  

Chris and Barbara were noticing a slight bow in the basement foundation at reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for assistance. After inspecting the situation, a CarbonArmor system was offered. The carbon fabric strips offer a flexible design that allows the strip to “hug” the wall for the most coverage, while offering a hold that is 10 times stronger than steel. CarbonArmor is strategically placed along the walls, and combined with an ArmorLock anchor system that prevents the rest of the home from tripping with the strong CarbonArmor. Chris and Barbara no longer worry of the wall worsening thanks to the help of CarbonArmor by MidAmerica Basement Systems.
