Basement Wall Bracing

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. 

Hidden Wall Damage Fixed in Altoona, IA

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!

Foundation Repair in Iowa Falls

This customer owned this rental property that was experiencing bowing walls in the basement. They knew they had to fix this issue for several reasons: to protect their investment, prevent further damage to the home, and avoid having to displace a tenant if the walls were to collapse.

Mike Portal, a System Design Specialist at Midwest, went out to the home to conduct an inspection. He found that the walls were bowing in, and each foundation wall was in various stages of wall failure. 

To solve this problem, we installed PowerBraces. This system is made from galvanized steel beams that will not rust and will straighten the walls with time. In just two days, the Midwest team secured and stabilized all walls in the basement. This was especially crucial for the homeowner to make sure we weren't invading the tenant's space for an extended period of time.

This customer was grateful we were able to save the failing foundation walls and felt the Midwest team went above and beyond to exceed expectations.
