Before & After Photos

This Geneseo, IL homeowner was troubled by a bowing foundation wall and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for an immediate fix. We recommended the installation of our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymers that are ten times stronger than steel, adhering directly to the wall to stabilize it permanently. This solution is ideal when customers like this one in Geneseo, who need a bowing wall fixed immediately. This project was completed in less than a day and didn't require any excavation or exterior digging. This Geneseo wall is now stable and fortified against further movement, thanks to our practical solutions and over three decades of experience.

Clinton, IA homeowners saw foundation settlement both inside and outside their home. They were referred to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Rachel recently had a contractor install jack posts to help support her sinking floors, but quickly realized that they were not installed properly. The jacks that had been installed couldn’t handle the weight of the home, and were beginning to buckle under the pressure, presenting the initial issue Rachel had started with, sinking floors. MidAmerica Basement Systems’ sales rep., Joe, had suggested installing a SmartJack system. SmartJack systems focus on the main issue of the problem, the failing foundation soils underneath. Holes are dug and filled with concrete or tightly-compacted crushed stone, providing the proper stabilization for the weight of the home.
