Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowners buried discharge line was originally installed too shallow, causing it to jut out and cause problems with mowing and lawn health - two things that a buried discharge line should make better! We reinstalled the discharge, burying it the appropriate depth and moving it slightly so that it would no longer stick out awkwardly or kill the grass.

Midwest Foundation Repair was called out to lift and level the sinking driveway and sidewalk slabs of this home in Waukee, IA. Using a 2-part approach, we filled voids beneath the sinking concrete slabs with our PolyLevel polyurethane foam to bring them back to level, then sealed the joints with NexusPro to help mitigate erosion of the soil beneath the slabs.

Norma W. in Pella, IA, called us at Midwest Foundation Repair and reported extreme humidity levels in their basement during the fall season. Our System Design Specialist Jon Patterson arrived at the home and saw that the humidity was higher than any of the homes we inspect during July. To solve this, the customer chose to have our complete waterproofing system installed to keep their basement dry year-round. This system consists of our WaterGuard interior basement drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and a SaniDry dehumidifier for excess moisture. Norma couldn’t have been happier with our solutions and the efficiency of our crews.

Using PolyLevel, we filled the voids beneath this homes driveway slabs to make them level again. We also sealed cracks and joints with to help protect the concrete from sinking again. The homeowner was happy to know that the trip hazards in her driveway has been repaired, and that she could avoid the cost of replacing her driveway.

Craig W. wanted to repair and protect his driveway before the sinking and cracking he was noticing got worse. To do this, we used a 3-part concrete protection solution that started with lifting and leveling his sinking slabs. Next we sealed the joints between the slabs to prevent water from seeping beneath the slabs where it could erode away the supporting soil. Next, we applied a concrete sealant over the driveway to protect it from the normal wear and tear that chips away at concrete and shortens its lifespan. We also installed an expansion joint to relieve pressure between the street and the driveway slabs to prevent future cracking. Craig was very happy with the results, and felt good knowing that his driveway would be protected in the years ahead.
