Wet spring soils swelled up with water pushed this basement wall inward.  As you can see the crack in the wall is opened up wide.  About a half of an inch.  The next photo will show the wall is pushed back and the crack is closing as the wall is straightened.

Mr. and Mrs. Dixon had been dealing with this problem for awhile now but decided to call Midwest Foundation Repair when their son tripped over the front stoop and hurt himself. 

Mr. Dixon called and wanted somebody to come out and take a look to see if it was something that could get fixed. The System Design Specialist described to him what we could for him. He explained how we would level the concrete and how it would be done.

Travis came out and did the work for Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. They were very happy with the work that was done. They told Travis that they would recommend us for anything if the future.

This customer recently encountered an issue with their home—an unlevel patio. Sidewalks go through constant use and can form cracks and sink when the soil beneath the cement slabs erodes. It's important to address these problems quickly because uneven sidewalk slabs are a safety risk to your family, guests, and neighbors. Midwest has the expertise to resolve these issues effectively. We used PolyLevel technology to lift, level, and stabilize their patio. To address smaller cracks, we used NexusPro solution to fill and seal cracks and control joints. This gave the patio a long-lasting and seamless finish.

Job Stories From Altoona, IA
Sinking Stoop in Altoona, IA

This homeowner was experiencing water coming in his basement through his stoop. He was worried about his finished basement getting ruined, and knew he needed a permanent solution. He knew of Midwest and our reputation, and gave us a call after other companies did not show up for him. System Design Specialist, Ashli Anderson, came out to meet with him. Ashli did her inspection and found the stoop and the sidewalk next to the foundation had a negative grade. This was allowing water to pile and enter the home from the sill plate. To fix the issue, we used our PolyLevel to level out the concrete and slope the concrete away from the home. We also used NexusPro to seal the joints and cracks that were in the concrete. The homeowner loved this solution and we know he has peace of mind knowing his basement is protected. 

Concrete Repair in Altoona, IA

After just buying his house, our customer in Altoona, IA wanted to get his driveway protected and prevent any problems in the future. This customer was impressed with our communication with him about the project, after being blown off by two other companies before, he knew Thrasher was the right company to help him out. 

Our team inspected the driveway and found that the joints on his driveway were left exposed and vulnerable to water and various chemicals and debris. These exposed joints can cause settling concrete and potential for other foundational problems around the home. The crew used NexusPro joint sealant to help seal the joints and protect the concrete for the future. NexusPro is a product that is the ideal solution for sealing joints in your driveway and creating lasting beauty and curb appeal for your home.

This customer couldn't have been happier with the outcome and was very impressed with our work. It was important that this project got done before the winter, so he was grateful we were able to help him out. 

PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant Repair Concrete in Altoona, IA

Homeowners in Altoona, IA were getting ready to sell their home, but needed some concrete repaired first. The concrete on the walkway and bottom of the driveway had settled. The side slabs also and large voids underneath.

Midwest was able to use PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete back to the original height. Then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to close up the joints and prevent water from entering again.

Uneven Concrete Repaired with PolyLevel and Nexus Pro in Altoona, IA

Jessica and Chris J.’s back patio and front sidewalk were starting to sink, with a young daughter, they wanted to make sure the concrete was safe for their family. They noticed that on the back patio water was starting to pool and the concrete was starting to sink making a noticeable gab.

We had System Design Specialist Dan King go to their home to evaluate what we could do to repair the concrete. He was able to identify that the water was collecting was because the control joints had expanded the slab openings, which allowed water to wash away the soil and cause sinking.

We were able to use two products to repair the concrete, PolyLevel and Nexus Pro. The PolyLevel was able to level and stabilize the concrete, while Nexus Pro was used to fill the control joints and cracks.

Crawl Space Repair in Altoona, IA

Mike has lived in his house for about ten years and he was noticing some different smells and mold in his house. He has little kids running around his house all the time and he was thinking that he needed to get this fixed. He called Midwest Basement Systems and asked one of our System Designer Specialists come out to talk to him about the issue. We told him that we needed to install a dehumidifier in his crawl space and do some other work throughout the whole crawl space.

We went through the steps of repairing his crawl space. The steps to repair it is to fix the ground water leakage, isolate the house form the earth, and seal out outside air. Mike is grateful for the work performed that made his home a healthier, safer, place!
