Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Geoff D. wanted to sell his home someday, but first he had to resolve a water problem in his basement. Before he could replace the ruined carpet and drywall, we needed someone to help him keep the basement dry - someone who would stand behind their work for the years ahead. That's why he called Midwest Foundation Repair.

We installed our Waterguard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture and direct any water to the sump pump. Cleanspace vapor barrier was also installed along the basement walls to prevent water from coming into contact with drywall, keeping the space clean, dry and safe.

Lisa is a new homeowner in Norwalk, IA, and needed a sealer for the driveway.  It was a steep driveway and she wanted to make it easier to walk up. Service Technician Jeremy Shannon went out to Lisa’s home recommended using NexusPro Joint Sealant and SealantPro. The crew used a combination of these products to close the joints and provide a sealant that made walking much easier and protect it from staining. Lisa was thrilled with the final look! 

Joyce just finished her basement in Adair, IA, and wanted to reduce the musty smell in her basement.  She decided to give Midwest a call because she didn’t want the smell to affect the basement and ruin any work. During the inspection Service Technician, Brandon Rost recommended a new SaniDry Dehumidifier, the old one was low on freon and kept icing up. Once the new dehumidifier was installed the humidity level was able to be controlled. 

Daniel was worried about his current sump pump, it had been running more often than it should have been, and wanted to make sure that it was running correctly. Service Technician Brandon Rost was able to recommend upgrading to a new model. The current sump pump was not performing at the highest capability due to age and Daniel decided to go with a new system. Once the new pump was installed Daniel was thrilled to have peace of mind knowing his basement would not flood. 

Linda W. noticed that the concrete slabs in the basement of her Des Moines, IA home were cracking. She had Midwest come out and repair her driveway and felt comfortable with having us return to fix her basement. Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer was able to identify that the basement slab had a giant void under it and it was causing the slab to settle at different rates and crack. The crew used PolyLevel to fill the void and level out the slab. Then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to close the cracks. Linda was super excited to see that the slab was level and no longer cracking!
