Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The customer's concrete driveway was settling more than 3 inches next to the house and caused a lot of issues both functionally and aesthetically. The failing concrete was causing the brick facade to begin falling. 

To fix this, we used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete the full 3 inches, enough to put the facade back in place. This was then followed by Nexus pro to seal the joints and concrete for additional protection. 

On the front steps of this home, there was a gap in the concrete. This was allowing for waster to get under the stoop and cause settlement. This affected the stoop even more as well as the nearby sidewalk. They needed these fixed to prevent tripping hazards. 

After inspecting the concrete issue, we applied Polylevel and Nexuspro to level out the tripping hazards and seal the gaps. The customer was so excited to have it fixed. 

Homeowners Cheri and Doug kept getting water in their basement. They called Midwest, worried that the water would start creeping into other parts of their home. Doug was a little skeptical, but once we sent System Design Specialist, Kevin French, to their home to look at the basement and then explained exactly how we do things and why we do it, his mind was at ease. 

Kevin found a small portion of a wall in the cellar of their basement leaking badly. After developing a plan, he sent the install team out to work their magic. We ended up installing WaterGuard on the wall that was leaking. WaterGuard is a drainage system designed to capture water seepage through walls. It's nearly invisible and essentially makes sure that water never reaches your basement floor. In addition, we ran a lateral line from the WaterGuard to the sump pump for proper drainage. 

Cheri and Doug now have a water-free basement! They were so happy they chose Midwest Foundation Repair to give them an in-depth inspection and solve their problem at the same time.

Homeowner Louis R. in Norwalk, IA was looking to check off some home improvement projects starting with ridding the crawlspace of dampness and humidity that was affecting the rest of his home.

System Design Specialist James visited the home to provide a free, same-day estimate.  We started by installing Cleanspace with a drainage mat to provide a protective barrier from the ground to the home.  Next, we blocked off exterior vents, and installed a SmartDrain with our Sedona dehumidifier.  With our system, we were able to control the moisture in the crawlspace which benefited the rest of the home.

This basement had multiple areas that were getting water and had horizontal cracks on multiple walls. 

We stabilized their walls with CarbonArmor and waterproofed their basement with WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe sump system. 

The customers have lived in the home a long time and it’s a beautiful house. The customers just reached a point they wanted to get the basement in better condition.
