Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

When this homeowner experienced a sinking concrete patio, they called us here at Midwest to step in with an effective solution. We used PolyLevel foam to lift and level the slab while filling voids in the soil underneath.

PolyLevel foam is an innovative technology that expands to lift and support slabs without adding extra weight to the soil. It is waterproof, preventing washout or drying like traditional methods. Additionally, PolyLevel is environmentally friendly and compacts the soil, ensuring long-lasting stability.

With the PolyLevel concrete leveling system, their patio will not only look great but also function well for years. We also provide a five-year warranty for added assurance. 

This homeowner moved all the way from California to Iowa, hoping for a fresh start in a house they really liked. But when they got there, they found out that the house had some problems with the foundation and basement. They knew they had to take care of it right away because they wanted a safe and stable place to live.

They got in touch with our team, and we knew exactly what to do. Our experienced crew quickly noticed that the walls made of clay blocks were bending inwards, and there were issues with moisture in the basement. We were especially concerned because the homeowner had some health problems, and we wanted to make sure they had a healthy space to live. We recommended using our EverBrace™ system to make the foundation walls stronger and protect it from further damage. We also used our expertise in basement waterproofing to deal with the moisture and prevent any mold from growing.

The homeowner trusted us to take care of their home, and we worked hard to make their vision a reality. Now they have a stable and dry living space in Iowa, just the way they wanted it. It's a place where they can feel safe and healthy.

Compromised foundation walls were leading to huge problems in the customer's house. We used the EverBrace Wall Restoration System which is a method suitable for many types of foundation walls like field stone, clay block, brick, poured concrete, and concrete block walls. While other solutions address early foundation wall issues, only the EverBrace system can tackle the restoration of severely compromised or neglected foundation walls. With the EverBrace, we provided the customer with the security of a new foundation without the exorbitant costs and disruptions associated with a complete replacement. The system was skillfully installed and seamlessly integrated, allowing for easy concealment with drywall while accommodating windows, doorways, and other structural components. 

This homeowner was concerned about doors not opening and closing properly and even had to replace a window because it wasn't working. When we performed a home inspection, we found mold and efflorescence on the walls, which is a huge sign there's water damage in the basement, and we also discovered the floors were sagging, which is a sign of structural damage. To address the water intrusion, we installed a full perimeter interior drainage track, a sump pump, and full height. And to address the structural damage, we installed smart jacks to stabilize and help bring the floor back up, and we also installed power braces to stabilize the basement walls.

After years of soil erosion, expansion, and shrinking, the concrete will shift around and sink, which also causes cracks. To help this homeowner fix the concrete on the driveway and prevent future damage we used our Polylevel and Nexus Pro.
