Before & After Photos

Mary Denise contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems after she noticed her bowing wall was getting worse. She was looking for qualified professionals she trusted to giver the best option for her and the life of her home. After listening to all of Mary Denise’s concerns and taking time to properly assess all of her concerns Design Specialist Wesley Glasglow and Mary Denies came to the conclusion that Carbon Armor was the best option for her home. Carbon Armor can help keep a bowing wall in place and help stabilize it so that it will not move any further.

The floors of a Cedar Rapids, IA, home were sagging, causing concern for the homeowner. We addressed this issue using our SmartJack system, specifically designed to stabilize beams and floor joists. In the after photo, notice how the system helps lift the floors toward their original elevation, reducing floor bounce and ensuring solid support. With over 35 years of experience, we pride ourselves on providing solutions that bring homeowners peace of mind. 

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner faced a pressing issue with a foundation wall at risk of collapsing. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to address this serious structural concern. Notice in the after photo how these heavy-duty steel anchors secured the wall firmly, halting further inward movement. With GeoLock, we've restored stability and preserved the home's value, eliminating the worry of future damage. 

A Cedar Rapids, IA homeowner called MidAmerica Basement Systems for an egress window. Upon further inspection, it was clear the homeowner had bowing walls. Before the egress window could be installed, the walls would have to be stabilized. The east, south and west walls all needed some help, so the design specialist, Mac McDaniel, recommended CarbonArmor. Thin CarbonArmor strips that are 10x stronger than steel are now stabilizing her basement in preparation for a new egress window.

Homeowner Rosanne recently noticed a small crack in the basement wall of her home. She was worried that if she did not get the crack replaced that it would get worse an cause further foundation damage to her home. Service Technician Adao fixed the crack with a crack injection foam the crack injection is pumped into the wall through ports that are placed in the walls. The foam is pushed through the wall to seal is from the inside out.
