Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Chris and Meghan S. were getting ready to put their home on the market. They were concerned that buyers would be concerned with the concrete on their driveway. Looking for a long-term solution that would get rid of any hesitation, they decided to call Midwest.

System Design Specialist Dan King went out to their home and was able to identify that the walkway was settling unevenly all the way up to the front door. There was also a broken area in the bottom of the driveway that needed to be lifted and leveled. The side slabs also had large voids underneath that needed to be closed. The crew applied PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete and fill the voids. Then we used NexusPro Joint Sealant to make sure all of the joints were sealed. Chris and Meghan were thrilled with the final look of the concrete!

Jennifer C. recently purchased a home in Leon, IA with plans to restore the house to increase its value. The home is over one-hundred years old, and the basement is experiencing extreme wall failure. It has a brick foundation with mortar joints that were deteriorating, and the walls were bowing inward. Familiar with our reputation, she gave us at Thrasher a call to permanently repair her foundation.

System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide arrived in Leon, IA and began inspecting the foundation of the home. For extreme wall failure, our team utilized the Shotlock Restoration System and PowerBrace Wall Support to prevent the walls from collapsing. Shotlock is combined with our GeoLock wall anchors in order to stabilize the failing foundation. The PowerBrace System is then installed to tighten and make the bowing walls sit more vertical without any external excavation. These two products paired together can stabilize even the most severe failing walls.

Jennifer was thrilled with the appearance of the basement walls and felt liberated knowing the foundation was secure. She now has the confidence needed to begin the remodeling process of her newly purchased home.

Longtime homeowner Bruce R. was looking for a solution stabilize his home. He previously had Midwest come out to his home, but he felt now was the right time to fix the foundation.

We sent System Design Specialist Nicholas Hruska out to the home. The footings in the back of the home had started to settle and there were some foundation cracks appearing in the drywall.  We were able to install 12 Push Piers on the back of the home full stabilizing the foundation. Bruce was not only please the quality of work completed, but with also how well the crew worked together.

New homeowners Kirk and Sue W. recently moved into their new home. Ready to start remodeling, they wanted to fix the basement so they could use it as storage. One of the walls had multiple cracks and they wanted to reduce as much moisture as they could from entering the home.  Kirk and Sue decided to give Midwest a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide out to the home. The foundation wall that had multiple cracks in it was allowing water to enter the basement, which was allowing moisture to enter the home at a high level. We first installed PowerBraces to reduce further wall failure. Next, we installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to reduce water and humidity from entering the home. Once the project was completed Kirk and Sue felt comfortable and reassured their basement would be free of further wall failure and water damage!

Erin V. was having trouble with their sump pump working correctly. They missed their annual maintenance and needed to a quick fix before it rained again due to fears of causing damage to their home.  So, they decided to call Midwest Foundation Repair.

Service Technician Ryan Allen arrived at the home and was able to see high amounts of sediment in pits. We installed 2 new sump pumps and also put a new battery in for the battery backup system. The team also clean out the pit and removed any debris and cleaned the area to ensure optimal operation for the systems. We were able to provide this customer a peace of mind knowing the system was back up and running again.
