Before & After Photos

The floors of a Cedar Rapids, IA, home were sagging, causing concern for the homeowner. We addressed this issue using our SmartJack system, specifically designed to stabilize beams and floor joists. In the after photo, notice how the system helps lift the floors toward their original elevation, reducing floor bounce and ensuring solid support. With over 35 years of experience, we pride ourselves on providing solutions that bring homeowners peace of mind. 

A Cedar Rapids, IA homeowner called MidAmerica Basement Systems for an egress window. Upon further inspection, it was clear the homeowner had bowing walls. Before the egress window could be installed, the walls would have to be stabilized. The east, south and west walls all needed some help, so the design specialist, Mac McDaniel, recommended CarbonArmor. Thin CarbonArmor strips that are 10x stronger than steel are now stabilizing her basement in preparation for a new egress window.

Homeowner Rosanne recently noticed a small crack in the basement wall of her home. She was worried that if she did not get the crack replaced that it would get worse an cause further foundation damage to her home. Service Technician Adao fixed the crack with a crack injection foam the crack injection is pumped into the wall through ports that are placed in the walls. The foam is pushed through the wall to seal is from the inside out.
