Bowing walls, when left untreated can cause basements to leak. Installing CarbonArmor system by MidAmerica Basement Systems will permanently stop walls from worsening, without causing structural damage to the rest of the home. CarbonArmor is the only fabric carbon fiber product that is designed to code to stabilize masonry walls. Installing a WaterGuard system will help collect and redirect the water to a TripleSafe system, keeping the basement dry. The WaterGuard offers a wall flange feature that will collect seeping water from foundation walls, preventing water from collecting on the floor’s surface, where it will then be directed the a TripleSafe sump to be discharged from the home.

 Homeowner Justin was having issues with the foundation of his home. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about why his foundation was failing and what he could do to fix it. The best option for his home was having GeoLock Wall Anchors installed. The wall anchors use the earth to hold the wall in place and straighten it. The GeoLock Wall Anchors can permanently stabilize your walls by using the earth and heavy duty galvanized anchors to hold to wall in place. A unique and important benefit of the GeoLock wall anchors can be tightened when the soil shrinks during dry season.
