Before & After Photos

This Waterloo, IA home was affected by weakened floor joists in the basement, leaving the floors unlevel. We addressed the issue using SmartJacks and supplemental beams, as seen in the after photo. The SmartJack system along with the supplemental beams stabilized the weakened joists, bringing the floor back to its original position and reducing floor bounce. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we provide solutions you can rely on, delivering remarkable homeowner experience by providing safe and healthy homes for everyone.

Fixing the problems early on can also save you more money.

In Waterloo, IA, Tom faced a tricky situation while getting his mother's home ready for sale. The foundation had some alarming cracks and wobbly walls that needed attention, as you can see in the 'before' photo.

But hey, that’s why we are here! Our system design specialist, Matt Clark, stepped in to assess the damage and map out the perfect solution. Then, foreman Brian Lopez and his crew, Ian and David, got to work with our trusty PowerBrace system and crack repair skills to give those foundation walls some newfound stability.

These zinc-plated PowerBrace beams not only bolstered the foundation but also reversed the effects of wall failure. Notice the solid peace of mind in that 'after' photo!
