As you can see in the before photo, this Lostant, IL homeowner was facing a safety concern without a proper exit point in their basement. They turned to us for a solution and, through the installation of a Rockwell egress window, we were able to transform their basement into a safer, more functional space. Notice in the after photo how the new egress window provides a clear, unobstructed exit path, ensuring safety in case of an emergency. Additionally, the larger size of the Rockwell window allows for significantly more natural light and ventilation, improving the overall comfort and livability of the basement. Now, their basement is not only a safer place for everyone but also a more enjoyable space to be in, all thanks to the installation of a Rockwell egress window.
Bowing walls can cause foundation cracks and shifts, weakening the support to the rest of your home. GeoLock Wall Anchors from MidAmerica Basement Systems help stop the wall(s) from worsening, and provide the option of straightening your foundation walls back to their original state. Rather the foundation wall is leaning or sliding in at the base of the wall, the GeoLock system secures a strong hold in the ground creating the pull on the wall, stopping the inward bow, while potentially straightening it out. The sleek design of the system prevents it from interfering with the rest of your home.
Prior to waterproofing, this Wenona, IL basement showed obvious signs of water issues.
