Before & After Photos

Water was coming into this customer's home from the corner of the house, and they couldn't figure out why. We resolved the issue by using our waterproofing system, Waterguard, and CleanSpace.

Our customer reached out to us when she noticed that her son's room had a water problem. To stop this, we used two products: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. WaterGuard captures water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. It's discreet and easy to install. It's also made of durable plastic that lasts without corrosion or decay. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents moisture from rendering through the walls. This stops issues like rot, mold, rust, odors, and pests. It also acts as an air barrier, making the crawl space more temperature-controlled for warmer floors and lower energy bills. CleanSpace also hinders the movement of harmful gases like radon. When combined with a radon mitigation system, it creates a safer and healthier living environment. By using WaterGuard and CleanSpace, we successfully addressed the water infiltration problem in the finished room. 

A collapsing retaining wall that sits beneath a driveway that supports a bridge to the homes garage was in need of replacement. 

Street creep had pushed against the wall to the point of its collapse. Midwest Foundation Repair replaced the wall with a new poured wall supported by stable fill to keep the pressure conditions consistent. 

We also placed helical tiebacks on two other retaining walls.

Wood is one of the rarest foundation types as well as one of the trickiest to deal with. 

When a wood wall is bowing it requires not only a brace but also horizontal supports on the top and bottom of the wall.

This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry all year round, and since he had previously used our services, he decided to give us a call. 

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the water problem in the basement of this homeowner. Michael found that the homeowner had not waterproofed any of the corners that commonly leaked water, and that the downspouts were pointed directly towards the basement. Michael solved this by installing a CleanSpace Basement Wall Vapor Barrier to the interior corners of the basement, burying the downspouts and directing them away from the basement, and he added PolyWells to protect the window from causing any water to seep into the basement.

When the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled that the house looks good and that the installation was quick. Check out the installed PolyWells on the home's exterior!
