Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Orion, IL faced bowing basement walls that needed stabilization. After a thorough assessment of the foundation, our Specialist recommended the installation of our trusted CarbonArmor system. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers to effectively lock the wall in its current position. Because it's a low-profile application that is only a thin strip, it allows the homeowner to paint directly over it and seamlessly finish the room. They now have full access to a stable and usable Orion, IL basement. 

The homeowner of this Bettendorf home wanted to permanently stabilize their foundation walls so they called the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team installed wall anchors to not only permanently stabilize the foundation walls, but to potentially straighten them with time.

Ian W. of Bettendorf, IA had a crack in his foundation wall after a recent storm. He called MidAmeirca Basement Systems and met with design specialist Mike Banks. Mike recommended stabilizing the walls with CarbonArmor, which is working out great for Ian and his wall!

Christine was noticing stair-step cracking in her basement foundation and was concerned about the sagging floors in the rest of her home. She reached out the MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her home inspected. Upon assessment, Design Specialist, Mike Banks, presented the proposal of having SmartJacks and Push Piers installed to support the failing foundation. SmartJacks are steel support systems that are placed on girders and floor joists to level and stabilizing sagging floors. Push Piers are driven into the soil to help lift your home back to its original position, while potentially closing foundation cracks. Christine now has a stable, level home.
