Before & After Photos

Hersh was concerned about the water that water coming in through the basement wall, and then realized it was because of a wall bowing. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to permanently stop his walls from worsening. During his evaluation, Chris offered him the solution of a PowerBrace system. PowerBraces use the wooden floor joist system of your home to properly support the pressure exhorted against the failing wall, without damaging the rest of the home. The patented PowerBrace system also allows for the I-Beams to be tightened over time, which can increase the chances of straightening the walls back to normal in time.

Homeowner Ryan had recently purchased his home two weeks ago. The home was built in the 1980’s and has some water issues. Ryan was concerned about the home being unstable. The home has cracks in the wall where the water leaks in. The most important thing to Ryan is to make sure the foundation of his home is safe. He has had professional advice in the past about this problem but the company was not a good fit for him and the problem. The Helical Pier System from Foundation Supportworks will permanently stabilize your home. Rugged steel piers are mechanically “screwed” into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. The piers are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, preventing any future settlement.

Jim slowly started noticing a slight bow happening and over the years its become very apparent. Jim was concerned of it collapsing and wondering is there we a way to straighten out the wall without having to redo the foundation. Our Design Specialist, Dan Garner recommended our PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time.

Years ago, this Sheridan, IL homeowner had the basement wall stabilized, but it was unfortunately not a permanent fix. This can be seen in the before photo. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to redefine the space, installing our PowerBrace system. As evident in the after photo, the zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit and securely anchored. Unlike other methods, the PowerBrace system doesn't require drilling or digging, ensuring permanent stability and protection for years to come.
