Before & After Photos

Homeowner Kelly has lived in her home for the last six months. She noticed the bowing walls and thought that it was best to get professional advice.  The CarbonArmors are used to hold the wall so that it will not bow and the problem will not get worse. 

Homeowner George has lived in his home for many years over time he noticed that the walls in his basement were bowing. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the options for fixing his home. After speaking with a design specialist he knew that the best option for him and his home was carbon armor. CarbonArmor are used to stop the bowing of your walls and returning quality to your home. 

Before taking on the exciting project of finishing their basement and adding a new bedroom, this homeowner in Peoria, IL knew they needed to install an egress window to ensure their space met safety standards. As you can see in the before photo, the area was just begging for transformation, the small existing window just wasn't enough to make the space inviting and had seen better days. Following our installation, you can see the clear difference in the space. The room is now flooded with natural light, perfectly complementing the room while keeping it up to code. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we leap at the opportunity to enhance living spaces through reliable solutions that last, and this job is a perfect example of that.

This Peoria, IL home previously benefited from our waterproofing services, and during a scheduled maintenance, we detected wall movement that required our attention. Our team swiftly installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring the foundation remains strong. These zinc-plated steel beams were secured meticulously, providing permanent stabilization and protection without invasive procedures. Thanks to our purposeful intervention, our valued customer can now relax knowing their home's foundation is securely reinforced and in great shape, reflecting our commitment to safety and quality. 

In Sheffield, IL, this home was dealing with a bit of a foundation fiasco, with cracks appearing as if they were trying to start their own neighborhood jitterbug. Our team stepped in with a plan to smooth things over and restore some much-needed order.

As you can see in the after photo, we installed a high-performance insulation barrier fit for superheroes, wrapping it snugly under the floors and up the walls. This creates a secure, airtight seal that keeps everything in line and in style. Think of it as putting a super cozy, heavy-duty sweater on your crawlspace—goodbye creaks, hello warmth. It’s all about happy foundations and "ground-breaking" results!
