Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to protect her 100-year-old house's walls that were starting to bow and fall in. This was caused by the geostatic pressure and water pressure against the walls that have been building up for 100 years now. We installed GeoLock channel anchors to stabilize the walls and keep them upright. 

Wet spring soils swelled up with water pushed this basement wall inward.  As you can see the crack in the wall is opened up wide.  About a half of an inch.  The next photo will show the wall is pushed back and the crack is closing as the wall is straightened. 

These homeowners had used our services previously when their family moved into their home, so when they found a large wall problem upon remodeling their downstairs bathroom, they knew just who to call. System Design Specialist Kevin French came out to this home once again to inspect the wall problem and determine what happened and how to fix it. Kevin found that the previous seller of the home was hiding wall damage by putting the unfinished bathroom in so that the leaking and wall cracks wouldn't effect the sale. He was shocked at this problem and so were the homeowners, but he knew just how to help them so that this problem could be fixed quickly. One of our installation teams came out to the house and utilized PowerBraces, GeoLock Wall Anchors, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to effectively support, strengthen, and waterproof the basement so that no more surprise problems will hurt the homeowners' basement. The homeowners loved the job that the installation team did and they couldn't believe how cleaned up it was after the team left. Check out the PowerBraces installed!

At Midwest, we understand the importance of a sturdy and secure foundation for your home. This homeowner was experiencing issues with their current wall support system, and the failing wall was posing a threat to the stored items and the overall stability of the structure. Our team was determined to find a solution that would provide long-lasting support and prevent further damage. After careful assessment, we recommended the installation of PowerBraces to stabilize the wall effectively. Replacing the failing wall support system was a challenge we were ready to tackle head-on. We completed the work on time and ensured that the customer was fully informed every step of the way. The customer expressed their satisfaction, stating, "I am very pleased with everything they have done, starting with the inspection recommendations; everybody seemed very professional, and the work was done on time. When the work's all done, he took me through everything that they did." 

This homeowner had been concerned about the condition of his west wall for over 30 years. He didn't want the next owner of him home to worry about this problem as well, so he decided to enlist the help of professionals.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to inspect the west wall for damage as well as suggest a solution that would effectively strengthen the home's foundation wall. Nick found that the west wall of the home has been slowly failing over the last 30 years and that this was a visible problem even from the outside of the home; In fact, a window had broken because it was not supported by this wall. He suggested to the homeowner that a wall repair brace should be utilized in order to support and stabilize the wall over time and the homeowner was very happy with this idea. One of our installation teams came to this home and started to stabilize the wall utilizing PowerBraces to push the wall back upright overtime. After that, they supported the failing interior wall by using SmartJacks to combat the problem of crumbling bricks on the wall.

The homeowner was very impressed with the team's installation and with the solutions that Nick designed. Check out the newly supported home!
