Before & After Photos

This family in Johnston, IA called Midwest Foundation Repair to fix their wet basement. They had water in their basement each Spring and Fall. They were ready to have a dry basement all the time. The Midwest Foundation Team came to the rescue and waterproofed their basement. The family is now starting plans to finish their basement and extend their living space, now they can have a dry basement all the time. 

This homeowner has tenants living in her basement and wants to ensure they have dry living conditions. She was getting water into her basement because of heavy rain and hydrostatic pressure on her foundation walls that allowed water to seep in. We were able to fix the problem by fully waterproofing her basement. We used our WaterGuard system and CleanSpace system, to make sure no water comes off the walls or through the cracks. Now this homeowner and her tenants can have peace of mind knowing they won't have to worry about the water. 

This customer noticed some cosmetic damage in her kitchen. The drywall tape was pulling away from the center wall in the kitchen and you could see the damage on the ceiling.

When we inspected the home, we found the problem was there was inadequate support holding up the home in the crawl space. We installed double the supports in the crawl space to fix the issue. We used our SmartJack Support system, that you can see in the photos above.

An un-level sidewalk is a common problem that Midwest Foundation Repair can quickly fix. Sidewalks endure significant wear and tear, and when the soil supporting a cement slab weakens, cracks and sinking can occur. There are several possible causes for this issue, such as erosion from rainwater, decaying tree roots, poor yard drainage, or improperly compacted dirt fill underneath the slab. Uneven sidewalk slabs pose a tripping hazard for your family, guests, and neighbors. At Midwest Foundation Repair, we have the solution. Our PolyLevel system lifts, levels, and stabilizes sidewalks. Additionally, for smaller cracks, we use NexusPro to fill and seal cracks and control joints.

Tired of driving over that annoying bump before pulling into your garage? This homeowner was! Our team was able to help by using PolyLevel foam to go underneath the concrete and raise the sinking points back into a level position. No more annoying bump!
