Before & After Photos

In Davenport, IA, a home inspection revealed a bowing wall behind the drywall, creating a serious structural risk to the home. In the before photo, notice how the structure needed support. Using our PowerBrace System, we stabilized and realigned the wall, as shown in the after photo. The zinc-plated steal beams provide dependable stability, preventing further movement with no need for invasive work. The best part? The PowerBrace system gets tightened annually to slowly bring the wall back to it's original position! With over 35 years of property stabilization experience, our family-owned team at MidAmerica Basement Systems tackled the issue effectively, ensuring the home's structural safety and retaining its market appeal. 

This Davenport, IA homeowner was dealing with unstable foundation walls and persistent water intrusion, a combination that put their entire home at risk. As seen in the before photo, drywall removal after a flood revealed bowed walls. To solve this, our team installed the PowerBrace System for permanent stabilization, alongside WaterGuard drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump. The result is a foundation that is not only structurally sounds but also clean and dry. They now have total peace of mind knowing their home is protected for years to come. 

A homeowner in Davenport, IA had a thicker than a quarter crack running through their foundation wall in their basement. The crack caused the wall to lean inward and bow inside the house. The crack has grown in size over time and the homeowner was more than ready to take care of the issue. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help. A Design Specialist came out to take a look and give the homeowner the best recommendation possible to fix the issue. Installing a PowerBrace was the way to go. 

There are many advantages to having a PowerBrace installed within your home. The first advantage is that it does not require any heavy equipment inside the home to install the beams. When installing the beams it will not disrupt any of your lawn or landscaping outside of the home. Each beam is a zinc-plated system which will look great in your home and it will not rust over time. Most importantly, it can straighten walls over time potentially reversing the wall failure.
