Before & After Photos

These customers wanted to make sure that the basement was well supported because they hold many gatherings here.  The floors in that part of the house had been sagging for a while because there isn't enough structural support. To fix this, we installed footings, smartjacks, and a supplemental beam to provide the necessary support.

There was a big gap between the driveway and home and our customer was concerned water was getting in there. He does not want water going down the side of the foundation wall. To help, Midwest cleaned the wall gap out, put a backer rod in the gap, and sealed it with NexusPro to ensure water wouldn’t seep in anymore. 

The customer's main concerns were keeping this her forever home and making sure it holds property value. She takes pride in her home and really stressed it holds a ton of sentimental value.  She chose Midwest Foundation Repair because we took the time to explain the process and provide clarity on what will be done, and we had great communication fitting around her schedule. The major problem we found with the foundation was the walls failing. The worst wall had a deflection of 2 1/2 inches. Air and water were getting in through a couple of cracks that has formed on her wall. That caused, hydrostatic pressure over time pushing on the wall allowing it to get to stage 2 wall failure. 

We were able to fix the problem and give the homeowner peace of mind that her wall would not bow in any further and possibly straighten the wall by bracing the wall with our PowerBraces. We were able to secure 3 of our lever bracket style PowerBraces to her worst wall.

She was very happy with the installation and very pleased with how fast and efficient the crew was. This project stands out because on the day we were out there, she knew she had wall failure but didn't know how bad it was. I quoted two walls and this wall was the worst. She was a little hesitant but after reassuring her that our braces would stop the movement of the wall, we would service the braces once a year, and there is a possibility of the wall straightening over time made her have the peace of mind of keeping her house in great shape to last her lifetime.

Compromised foundation walls were leading to huge problems in the customer's house. We used the EverBrace Wall Restoration System which is a method suitable for many types of foundation walls like field stone, clay block, brick, poured concrete, and concrete block walls. While other solutions address early foundation wall issues, only the EverBrace system can tackle the restoration of severely compromised or neglected foundation walls. With the EverBrace, we provided the customer with the security of a new foundation without the exorbitant costs and disruptions associated with a complete replacement. The system was skillfully installed and seamlessly integrated, allowing for easy concealment with drywall while accommodating windows, doorways, and other structural components.
