Before & After Photos

As you can see, the step down and up is quite long, and the uneven concrete is a trip hazard. This concrete patio was lifted back to level.

Sarah had become increasingly concerned about a crack in the shape of a stairstep in her foundation wall, fearing potential instability of the entire home.  We recommended the installation of power braces on the affected walls.

PowerBraces are a reliable and effective solution for stabilizing foundation walls that have experienced movement and cracks. These steel braces are specifically designed to support and reinforce foundation walls, providing the necessary strength and stability.

Our experienced team efficiently installed PowerBraces on the two walls that required stabilization. These braces were carefully positioned and secured to ensure optimal support for the foundation walls, preventing further movement and potential damage.

By installing PowerBraces, we effectively addressed the concerns related to the stair-step crack in Sarah's foundation. The PowerBraces provided the necessary support and stability, ensuring that her foundation wall remained secure and her home structurally sound.

The structural integrity of a foundation is crucial for the overall stability and safety of a home. By choosing Midwest and opting for power braces, Sarah took an important step towards securing her foundation and protecting her investment for years to come.

This homeowner faced an issue with a full perimeter block foundation wall that had cracks and was experiencing moisture seepage. With the intention of selling their home, they sought our expertise to ensure the foundation was stable, providing peace of mind to potential buyers.

To address the problem, our team installed full perimeter WaterGuard to channel water away from the foundation, coupled with a full-height CleanSpace system to provide superior moisture protection. Furthermore, we employed PowerBraces, a sturdy wall stabilization system that not only resolves current issues but also comes with a transferable warranty for added assurance.

Homeowner Ralph H. in Boone, IA noticed that there were cracks appearing in his foundation. Fearing that there was a lot of pressure on his foundation walls from a previous leak, he wanted to have a peace of mind in knowing his walls were stable. Looking for a company with a good reputation for fixing foundation, he decided to give Midwest a call.

Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer went out to Ralph’s home. After inspecting the walls, he was able to identify that the basement wall was in stage one wall failure with deflection and diagonal cracking on the poured foundation. The crew installed PowerBraces around the full perimeter of the basement to support the whole wall. Ralph was very pleased with the outcome of the project and glad to know that is home is properly supported.

This homeowner wanted to stabilize a basement wall from further movement inward. When we inspected the foundation, we found the wall was pushing inward about 1/4" since last year. The problem was coming from saturated soil because of moisture which was putting more pressure on the walls.

We fixed the problem by putting up PowerBraces to support the walls. We used PowerBraces to support the whole wall and stop the inward movement.

The customer was happy with the results and happy she no longer has to worry about her foundation walls.
