Before & After Photos

Homeowner Ryan had recently purchased his home two weeks ago. The home was built in the 1980’s and has some water issues. Ryan was concerned about the home being unstable. The home has cracks in the wall where the water leaks in. The most important thing to Ryan is to make sure the foundation of his home is safe. He has had professional advice in the past about this problem but the company was not a good fit for him and the problem. The Helical Pier System from Foundation Supportworks will permanently stabilize your home. Rugged steel piers are mechanically “screwed” into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. The piers are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, preventing any future settlement.

Jim slowly started noticing a slight bow happening and over the years its become very apparent. Jim was concerned of it collapsing and wondering is there we a way to straighten out the wall without having to redo the foundation. Our Design Specialist, Dan Garner recommended our PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time.

Years ago, this Sheridan, IL homeowner had the basement wall stabilized, but it was unfortunately not a permanent fix. This can be seen in the before photo. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to redefine the space, installing our PowerBrace system. As evident in the after photo, the zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit and securely anchored. Unlike other methods, the PowerBrace system doesn't require drilling or digging, ensuring permanent stability and protection for years to come. 

In Cedar Falls, IA, one homeowner discovered that her neighbors radon test came back high. Concerned, she decided to test her own home as well. When she received the levels back above a healthy threshold, she knew she needed to take action. We installed an effective radon mitigation system, as seen in the after photo. This specialized system will reduce the concentration of naturally occurring radioactive gas inside the home, ultimately creating a safer living environment. With over 35+ years of experience, we pride ourselves on protecting our community and prioritizing homeowners well-being. Ready to take the steps towards knowing the radon levels in your home?

Seana was having doubts about installing a radon mitigation system. All the companies she talked with couldn’t provide her with a solution to address her high radon levels. She was giving up hope and decided to get one more estimate with MidAmerica Basement Systems. To her relief, she was finally given a successful and effective radon mitigation system. Her crawlspace needed to be completely sealed off from the exposed dirt so CleanSpace was installed. CleanSpace is a thick liner that permanently seals the ground from the rest of the crawlspace. After installing the radon mitigation system, the gas was effectively pulled from under the home and released back outside, leaving the indoor air quality safer for Seana to breathe.
