Before & After Photos

New homeowners Kirk and Sue W. recently moved into their new home. Ready to start remodeling, they wanted to fix the basement so they could use it as storage. One of the walls had multiple cracks and they wanted to reduce as much moisture as they could from entering the home.  Kirk and Sue decided to give Midwest a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide out to the home. The foundation wall that had multiple cracks in it was allowing water to enter the basement, which was allowing moisture to enter the home at a high level. We first installed PowerBraces to reduce further wall failure. Next, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to reduce water and humidity from entering the home. Once the project was completed Kirk and Sue felt comfortable and reassured their basement would be free of further wall failure and water damage!

In Ankeny, Iowa the concrete settled and created a tripping hazard on the sidewalk. They did not want anyone to get hurt. We used Polylevel foam to level out the slabs and we used NexusPro joint sealant to caulk the joints so no water gets in underneath the slab.

Homeowner Keith wanted to find a solution to ensure that his home was safe and protected.  Since this customer has been happy with our work in the past, he chose Midwest to help secure this part of his home.

System Design Specialist Ryan Allen was able to come up with a permanent solution that fit the customers needs.  Since the wall was short, we installed Geolock anchors to secure the wall prevent the joints from getting worse.

Check out the before and after of this project! These homeowners were having complications with their walls falling in after extending their garage and putting on an addition. To help combat this issue and give it a permanent fix, we installed a full perimeter of Power Braces. These Power Braces are full height braces that help prevent any further movement in of the walls. They also can help straighten out the wall over time. These Power Braces also come with a 25 year warranty, which will ensure these homeowners stay protected. 

This homeowner tried to lift her concrete deck with big box store jacks, but it sank more and cracked the step. She was frustrated with this, so when she looked for companies that could stabilize her step, she gave us a call first.

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Bovee to inspect the current lifting jacks under the homeowner's deck to determine what we could do to properly support the deck. Tyler found that the concrete deck was too heavy for the store bought jacks, and that the weight of the deck is pushing the jacks down further. He discussed this with the homeowner, then called for a crew to get to work on supporting this deck. One of our crews came out and installed SmartJacks in order to bear the weight of the concrete deck, then they used NexusPro to seal and repair the crack in the step.

The homeowner was very happy with the results of her deck repair. Check out her newly repaired deck!
