Wall Support in Indianola, IA

This homeowner was very worried that her basement wall was caving in, to the point at which she was having nightmares about it falling in completely. She knew that if she let her wall continue to cave, it could be very hurtful to her home's structure as well as cause her more worry everyday. She really wanted to have this problem solved once and for all, so she gave us a call.

We had System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide drive out to this home and inspect the wall to determine what systems we could use to support the wall. Tyler found the wall was still in an early stage of wall failure which posed a limited harm in its current state, however it would become much worse, more difficult, and more expensive to fix if the homeowner didn't choose to solve it immediately. After talking to the homeowner, she was relieved that Tyler knew the solution for her problem, and she was very eager to have her wall supported.

Our installation team drove out to install PowerBraces and GeoLock Wall Anchors to fix this homeowner's wall without having to reroute or move her staircase. When the installation was complete, the homeowner was extremely happy with the quality of work that was done as well as with the professionalism and punctuality of the crew.

Concrete Repair in Cambridge, IA

Home owner Jim S. wanted his concrete lifted and sealed before building a new deck and landscaping in that area.  

 

System Design Specialist Elliott Christians was able to diagnose the issue and provide a long term solution.  We started with leveling concrete with Polylevel and then applying NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal of the joints and then applied SealantPro over the top as a protective layer for the concrete.  

Bowing Walls in Des Moines, IA

Midwest Foundation Repair got a phone call from Dan talking about how he wanted to sell his house but needed to get his basement walls fixed. He needed one of our experts to come out and give him a quote at no cost to him. He had Tom, our System Design Specialist, come out and talk to Dan about how he will need Power Braces on his basement wall. He wanted Tom to explain that to him because he didn't know what those were. 

Tom explained that they are beams that will go against the wall that is bowing and they will help them move back into place and prevent it from happening again. 

Dan was very pleased with what they can do so he booked the work to be done. He had Matt and his crew come out and fix the walls. Dan was very pleased with what was done with the wall and how Matt was as a foreman. He was impressed that Matt cleaned up after himself and made it look as new as it could. 

Preventing Driveway Cracks in Des Moines, IA

It's important to have a good sealant to prevent cracks in concrete. For this customer, we applied NexusPro silicone-based sealant to fill and seal cracks and control joints. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro is specially designed to resist UV rays, ensuring that it remains durable and doesn't crack, bubble, or dry over time. Additionally, NexusPro has a significantly shorter drying time compared to other urethane-based caulking products. Its long-lasting properties have been proven to outperform other sealants, providing reliable protection for your driveway. 

Structural Issues Prevented During Renovation in Des Moines, IA

This customer recognized the importance of prioritizing the resolution of any issues within the crawlspace before proceeding with the installation of a new bathroom directly above it. Over the years, the crawlspace had been neglected, necessitating the implementation of CleanSpace and Smartjacks to enhance its structural integrity.

Upon clearing the debris within the crawlspace, our team promptly installed Smartjacks and implemented CleanSpace to address the identified concerns. The customer expressed gratitude for our swift response, as it enabled him to seamlessly progress with the planned bathroom repairs directly above the crawlspace.

By proactively addressing the crawlspace issues, the customer can now move forward confidently, knowing that the integrity of the crawlspace has been reinforced, setting the foundation for successful bathroom renovations.
