Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was getting water in her basement making the house settle and causing a huge musty smell throughout her home. She wanted to stop her home from settling further and she wanted to have her home smell better. She gave us a call to get out advise as to what problem she should fix first. 

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson to inspect the basement and foundation to determine what problem would harm her home most and discover what problem needs to be fixed first. Tyler found that water was getting in the basement because in periods of heavy rain, water was pooling at the foundation wall and creeping into the the floor joints and walls. After careful consideration, Tyler came to the conclusion that the basement needed waterproofing in order to stop it from settling, otherwise the home would continue to settle; The air quality problems known from the musty smells could also lead to further health issues. When he talked with the homeowner, the homeowner agreed that the waterproofing needed to be done completely to ensure that no water would get into the home and cause problems.

One of our installation teams went to this home and began to install CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to encapsulate and guide water out of the home. Next, they got to work on redirecting and burying the homeowner's downspouts so that they would send water away from the home's foundation. Finally, the team tackled the air quality problems by installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to rid the home of musty smells. When the homeowner saw the final product, she was very satisfied with her newly waterproofed home. Check out the new waterproofing systems!

This homeowner previously had a water drainage system installed in her basement, but she was concerned with her current sump pump and its reliability. She knew that we had sump pump options that her parents had used, so she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the older sump pump, determine if it was reliable, then determine what steps to take after the inspection. Todd found that the older sump pump did not have a battery backup, and that this would be problematic if her power ever went out. He also found that the sump pump's age had started to effect it's efficiency. Todd determined that the homeowner could use a new sump pump and the homeowner agreed. Our team came and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that has 3 pumps and a battery backup.

The homeowner was very happy with the work that was done. She now feels secure in her home and knows that she is protected against water damage in a power outage. Check out her new sump pump system!

This homeowner was concerned about the tripping hazards she had on her front sidewalk. She already had her sidewalk mudjacked, however it was sinking again. She saw that we offered a different solution for concrete lifting, so she gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Cody Shipley to inspect where the mudjacking had gone wrong, and to determine where the crew should begin the concrete lifting. Cody explained to the homeowner that mudjacking did not work because it dries out, then will wash out just like soil does in the first place. Our team then went and injected PolyLevel foam under the concrete slab to lift and level the concrete. After this, the team used NexusPro joint sealant to seal the concrete's joints. The homeowner was very happy with how her concrete looks now. Check out her newly lifted and leveled concrete!

This homeowner had her concrete joints sealed by another company, however they did not seal her entire driveway. She noticed that the seal was already starting to crack, and she was frustrated, so she gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Bovee to see what joints needed to be sealed, and to determine which joints needed to be resealed. Tyler used NexusPro joint sealant to seal and reseal the concrete joints after ripping out the old sealant. The homeowner was thankful that we did her whole driveway completely and with a quality product. Check out her sealed concrete!

This homeowner tried to lift her concrete deck with big box store jacks, but it sank more and cracked the step. She was frustrated with this, so when she looked for companies that could stabilize her step, she gave us a call first.

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Bovee to inspect the current lifting jacks under the homeowner's deck to determine what we could do to properly support the deck. Tyler found that the concrete deck was too heavy for the store bought jacks, and that the weight of the deck is pushing the jacks down further. He discussed this with the homeowner, then called for a crew to get to work on supporting this deck. One of our crews came out and installed SmartJacks in order to bear the weight of the concrete deck, then they used NexusPro to seal and repair the crack in the step.

The homeowner was very happy with the results of her deck repair. Check out her newly repaired deck!
