Before & After Photos

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.

Over time, the pressure of the ground on your home’s foundation can cause the walls to bow. A CarbonArmor system from MidAmerica Basement Systems can permanently fix the issue. CarbonArmor strips are 10 times stronger than steel and offer the solution to stop walls from bowing. The flexible carbon fiber system is strategically placed along the wall and uses the wooden floor joist system to prevent the wall from bowing inward and stopping the home from tilting away from the foundation. 

This homeowner's walls were bowing inward. We corrected this by installing multiple Power Braces to reinforce and push the walls back.
