Before & After Photos

This customer owned this rental property that was experiencing bowing walls in the basement. They knew they had to fix this issue for several reasons: to protect their investment, prevent further damage to the home, and avoid having to displace a tenant if the walls were to collapse.

Mike Portal, a System Design Specialist at Midwest, went out to the home to conduct an inspection. He found that the walls were bowing in, and each foundation wall was in various stages of wall failure. 

To solve this problem, we installed PowerBraces. This system is made from galvanized steel beams that will not rust and will straighten the walls with time. In just two days, the Midwest team secured and stabilized all walls in the basement. This was especially crucial for the homeowner to make sure we weren't invading the tenant's space for an extended period of time.

This customer was grateful we were able to save the failing foundation walls and felt the Midwest team went above and beyond to exceed expectations.

This homeowner was very worried that her basement wall was caving in, to the point at which she was having nightmares about it falling in completely. She knew that if she let her wall continue to cave, it could be very hurtful to her home's structure as well as cause her more worry everyday. She really wanted to have this problem solved once and for all, so she gave us a call.

We had System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide drive out to this home and inspect the wall to determine what systems we could use to support the wall. Tyler found the wall was still in an early stage of wall failure which posed a limited harm in its current state, however it would become much worse, more difficult, and more expensive to fix if the homeowner didn't choose to solve it immediately. After talking to the homeowner, she was relieved that Tyler knew the solution for her problem, and she was very eager to have her wall supported.

Our installation team drove out to install PowerBraces and GeoLock Wall Anchors to fix this homeowner's wall without having to reroute or move her staircase. When the installation was complete, the homeowner was extremely happy with the quality of work that was done as well as with the professionalism and punctuality of the crew.

Bob was doing some remodeling in his home and wanted the foundation of the room supported. He had a crawlspace under the area that had been neglected for years. He heard great things from Midwest Foundation Repair and needed help. After cleaning out the crawlspace, James and his team installed SmartJacks and CleanSpace and insured the integrity of the home.

This homeowner was having problems with water getting in their basement. She wanted to refinish her basement as an entertainment space for her kids, however she needed to have a dry basement in order to do that. After looking for solutions that would help her create a safe space for her renovation, she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Jordan Mullen to inspect the basement and determine what was causing the water problems as well as suggest custom solutions for her basement. Jordan found that water was coming through the south wall of the home and leaking through the concrete blocks, which formed puddles of water along the perimeter of the basement. He also noticed that the water had weakened the wall structure, causing stage 2 wall failure. The homeowner was quite concerned about these issues and for the safety of her home, so she discussed solutions custom to her home with Jordan.

We sent an installation team out to install Geo-Lock Anchors on the south wall of the home and PowerBraces on the west wall of the home. These solutions help to stabilize the walls and move them back to their original positions over time. After fixing the wall troubles, our team started to work on waterproofing the walls to prevent any further damage. Our team used the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along the south and east walls of the home. Finally, our team installed a new Sump Pump in order to keep water pumping out of the basement.

The homeowner was extremely happy with the work that was done. She even emailed Jordan to tell him that she recommended our services to her friends. With a little bit of help, this homeowner can now renovate her basement for her children without worrying for their safety.

In this homeowner's basement, the builders used a 4x4 support beam to hold the weight of the home. Underneath this support beam was a supporting post that was knocked over to the point in which the support beam had no additional support structure. The homeowner saw this and was immediately concerned that her home would have many problems because of it, so she decided to give us a call. 

We had System Design Specialist Ryan Allen go to inspect the basement's support structure and determine what support structure would best replace the failed support post. Ryan discussed the severity of the situation with the homeowner, and they came to the conclusion to have this installed and completed as quickly as possible, so Ryan called one of our installation teams. Our team installed a SmartJack post to provide the proper support that the home's support beam needed. The homeowner was relieved that her problem was solved.
