Before & After Photos

When this East Moline homeowner noticed a worrying hairline crack with slight bowing inward on their foundation wall (as seen in the before photo), they knew it was time to call in the professionals. That's where we came in. Our solution was simple yet incredibly effective: installing PowerBraces. This product not only halted further damage but also provided a long-term fix to the foundation issue. As the after photo proudly displays, the wall is now stabilized, future-proofing this home against similar issues and giving peace of mind back to the homeowner.

Vivian and George had bowing basement walls and a drafty basement, so they called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist Clayton Spinler came out and gave George and Vivian a custom-designed solution, including CarbonArmor and pre-studded Basement to Beautiful Panels. The space looks great, and Vivian and george are resting easy. 

Retaining walls prove beneficial until they exhibit bowing issues, as seen at this Knoxville, IL residence. To address this concern, we installed 6 Geo-Lock wall anchors. These anchors consist of durable steel plates connected by a rod, firmly anchored into the ground to stabilize the wall and prevent further outward movement. Geo-Lock anchors are highly effective for both foundation and retaining walls!

This Princeton, IA homeowner was concerned about the stability of their basement walls due to inward bowing. To permanently address this issue and prevent further movement, we installed GeoLock wall anchors.

GeoLock is a foundation repair system specifically designed to stabilize bowing basement walls. Here's how it works:

• Earth Anchors: Heavy-duty anchors are placed deep in stable soil outside the foundation.
• Steel Rods: These anchors are connected to the bowing wall with long, galvanized steel rods that resist corrosion.
• Wall Plate: A steel plate is attached to the inside of the basement wall, distributing the pressure from the rod.
• Tightening Mechanism: The rods can be tightened over time, straightening the wall back to its original position in some cases.

By anchoring the wall to stable soil, GeoLock counteracts the pressure causing the bowing and reinforces the foundation. This minimally disruptive solution can be hidden behind finished basement walls and provides peace of mind for homeowners

Yvonne and Michael were concerned about cracks in their walls. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems, and met with design specialist Joe Sarb. Joe showed Yvonne and Michael that they're concerns about cracks in the wall was actually related to a bowing wall. Joe suggested PowerBraces to stabilize and potentially correct the bowing wall problem over time. Now, the wall is stable, and Yvonne and Michael sleep easy at night.
