Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer encountered a situation where two walls within the property were bowing inward. While aware of the issue, it had remained unresolved, even though the previous owner had attempted a temporary fix by installing a single brace on each wall. Given the urgency and the need for a proper solution, our team undertook the task of addressing the problem appropriately.

To rectify the situation, we installed power braces, a reliable and effective product designed to halt the inward movement of the walls. The strategic use of power braces allowed for gradual adjustment over time, enabling us to progressively correct the inward bowing and restore the walls to their intended position.

By employing power braces, we provided the customer with a long-term and reliable solution, ensuring that the issue was not only resolved promptly but also addressed in a manner that would prevent any future recurrence.

This homeowner's basement had many signs of water damage on all walls, including mold growth. The main goal was to increase the health and safety conditions within the home.  To address these concerns, we implemented a solution by adding CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is attached to the walls. This product created a healthier and safer environment and also increased the value of the home. 

This property was actually a rental home for the customer, and during the inspection, the inspector pointed out some problems with the walls that needed to be fixed before they could give they okay. Specifically, the south wall of the house was bowing about 1 1/2 inches and it needed immediate support.

Since there were some challenges with the project, like the use of Red Clay tile, our team decided that Power Braces would be the best option. We carefully chose these braces because they were the most suitable solution considering the specific constraints and difficulties of the project.

By using Power Braces, we were able to stabilize the wall effectively. It provided the customer with a solution that was appropriate and efficient, addressing their needs without any unnecessary extra steps.

This Homeowber encountered a persistent inconvenience with their downspouts, which extended a considerable distance of 10 feet into the yard. In an effort to further safeguard their foundation from water damage, they had even placed 20-foot tiles at the end of each downspout. However, the continuous need to move the downspouts while mowing the lawn or concerns about detachment had become tiresome for the customer.

To provide a more permanent and hassle-free solution, we undertook the task of burying the homeowner's downspouts and extending them accordingly. Employing a shovel, PVC piping, and a bubble pot, we successfully extended the downspouts while ensuring proper drainage.

By burying the downspouts and extending them, we relieved the customer from the inconvenience of constantly moving them during lawn maintenance while also addressing their concerns about detachment. This solution offered a more streamlined and reliable system to effectively channel water away from the foundation, protecting it from potential water-related issues.

This customer noticed an unpleasant smell in her basement and decided to give Midwest a call. She was worried about her cousin's health and wanted to protect their belongings from water damage in the basement. We found that there was too much moisture in the walls, causing the moldy and musty smell. To fix this, we installed a special material called Cleanspace on more than half of the walls. This material keeps water out and prevents mold from growing, making the basement dry and healthy.
