Before & After Photos

Recently, Jeremy had MidAmerica Basement Systems install a waterproofing system to address his leaking basement. During the inspection it was also noted that he had a couple bowing walls, threating the structure of his home. A PowerBrace system with support beams were offered to permanently stabilize the walls. PowerBraces are a patented I-Beam system that gives the option of tightening the system, improving the appearance of the wall, while stopping the wall from worsening. Now Jeremy has a waterproofed and stabilized basement. 

Mary Denise contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems after she noticed her bowing wall was getting worse. She was looking for qualified professionals she trusted to giver the best option for her and the life of her home. After listening to all of Mary Denise’s concerns and taking time to properly assess all of her concerns Design Specialist Wesley Glasglow and Mary Denies came to the conclusion that Carbon Armor was the best option for her home. Carbon Armor can help keep a bowing wall in place and help stabilize it so that it will not move any further.

The floors of a Cedar Rapids, IA, home were sagging, causing concern for the homeowner. We addressed this issue using our SmartJack system, specifically designed to stabilize beams and floor joists. In the after photo, notice how the system helps lift the floors toward their original elevation, reducing floor bounce and ensuring solid support. With over 35 years of experience, we pride ourselves on providing solutions that bring homeowners peace of mind. 

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner faced a pressing issue with a foundation wall at risk of collapsing. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to address this serious structural concern. Notice in the after photo how these heavy-duty steel anchors secured the wall firmly, halting further inward movement. With GeoLock, we've restored stability and preserved the home's value, eliminating the worry of future damage. 

A Cedar Rapids, IA homeowner called MidAmerica Basement Systems for an egress window. Upon further inspection, it was clear the homeowner had bowing walls. Before the egress window could be installed, the walls would have to be stabilized. The east, south and west walls all needed some help, so the design specialist, Mac McDaniel, recommended CarbonArmor. Thin CarbonArmor strips that are 10x stronger than steel are now stabilizing her basement in preparation for a new egress window.
