Homeowner Ryan had recently purchased his home two weeks ago. The home was built in the 1980’s and has some water issues. Ryan was concerned about the home being unstable. The home has cracks in the wall where the water leaks in. The most important thing to Ryan is to make sure the foundation of his home is safe. He has had professional advice in the past about this problem but the company was not a good fit for him and the problem. The Helical Pier System from Foundation Supportworks will permanently stabilize your home. Rugged steel piers are mechanically “screwed” into the soil using small construction equipment or hand equipment. The piers are installed to appropriate depths and capacities, preventing any future settlement.

Jim slowly started noticing a slight bow happening and over the years its become very apparent. Jim was concerned of it collapsing and wondering is there we a way to straighten out the wall without having to redo the foundation. Our Design Specialist, Dan Garner recommended our PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time.

Years ago, this Sheridan, IL homeowner had the basement wall stabilized, but it was unfortunately not a permanent fix. This can be seen in the before photo. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to redefine the space, installing our PowerBrace system. As evident in the after photo, the zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit and securely anchored. Unlike other methods, the PowerBrace system doesn’t require drilling or digging, ensuring permanent stability and protection for years to come. 

In Center Point, IA, notice in the before photo how this charming old farmhouse with a limestone foundation was struggling. Over time, deterioration allowed water to seep in, compromising structural integrity. In the after photo, see how we’ve restored the foundation using our EverBrace Wall Restoration system. Our experienced team installed steel corrugated panels between sturdy I-beams, equipped the structure for long-term durability, and utilized precision-injected rigid foam to fill voids and transfer loads effectively. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, our solution ensures that the foundation is not only stabilized but also stands strong against future damage.

In quaint Waterloo, IA, we met a homeowner nervously watching their basement walls shift from architectural flatness to leaning towers. As the “before” photo shows, those bowing walls were in desperate need of some serious structural reinforcement.

Enter our hero of the day: the PowerBrace! Our team installed these zinc-plated steel beams to stabilize the wayward foundation. Notice in the “after” photo how a few well-placed supports bring immediate calm to the structure. Our crew ensured the home is now held tight and secure—with the same steadfast dedication MidAmerica brings to our morning coffee.

When this homeowner in Monmouth, IL, noticed the block wall in their basement was visibly bowing, they knew it was time to call us for help. As you can see in the before photo, the concern was clear. But no challenge is too big or too small for us! After applying our Carbon Armor solution, a cutting edge fix designed for this very problem, the walls are now stable and will not bow any further. The homeowner was thrilled with the result and was provided peace of mind knowing the structural integrity of the wall was no longer a problem 

This Galena, IL homeowner noticed his floors were uneven, signaling underlying structural issues. After recognizing the need for additional support, he decided to give us at MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. We were able to combat this issue by installing SmartJacks and supplemental beams, significantly improving the stability and evenness of the floors. The after photo proudly showcases this, demonstrating our commitment to providing long-lasting solutions and remarkable customer experiences. 

This East Moline homeowner was facing foundation settlement so significantly that you could see right through the crack into the garage. With the use of Helical Piers our crews were able to completely lift and re-stabilize the foundation.

A homeowner in Low Moor, IA, reached out to us with concerns about their aging foundation, which was deteriorating and needed attention. The before photo reveals the extent of the foundation’s wear and worries about the home’s security. To address the issue and ensure long-term safety, we installed the EverBrace Wall Restoration System. In the after photo, you can see how the system offers reliable stability and protection against further damage. Our solution securely transfers the heavy loads from the compromised wall to provide lasting peace of mind. 

When rain hits Morrison, Illinois, the last thing any homeowner wants is a basement that doubles as a collection pool. The “before” photo tells a familiar story: moisture seeping through the foundation and creating a persistent headache for the folks living above it. Dealing with a damp subterranean space is a drain on both your peace of mind and your property value, but these are exactly the kinds of challenges we’ve built our reputation on solving throughout the Midwest.

We stepped in to overhaul the area by installing a SunHouse Enclosure, a specialized solution designed to seal out the elements while adding a much-needed layer of protection to the home’s exterior access points. As you can see in the “after” shot, the transformation is about more than just aesthetics; it is about creating a bone-dry environment that stays that way regardless of the forecast. It’s another successful project in the books, proving once again that the right foundation expertise can turn a compromised basement back into a functional, reliable part of the home.
