The customer notice their floors were squeeking and wanted to have them inspected. We come out to their home and found that there were issues with the foundation supports in the crawl space. The problem the house was having was the floor support that was there was not enough to support the floor. Now the floor is sagging 3/4" and there are drywall cracks appearing. We fixed the problem by adding Smart jacks to the crawlspace to help support the load of the floor.

Proud homeowner Jose wants to remodel the entire home, but the foundation was not stable and was afraid it would cause damage to other areas. He chose Midwest because of our credible reputation in the area.

We sent System Design Specialist Cody out to provide a free on-the-spot estimate.  We installed our Everbrace system to completely stabilize the wall and prevent it from caving in.  This stops the wall from moving and helps take the support of the house from the current wall.  Jose was so happy with our work, that he asked us to do additional work on the home.

Job Stories From Forest City
Stabilizing an Old Farm House in Britt, IA

These homeowners were looking to get their old farm house stabilized, as they were planning on living in the home for a long time. They knew of Midwest and our reputation, so they gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Michael Holtzbauer, came out to meet with them. Michael did his inspection and found the problem the house was having was the walls were coming in and they needed to be stabilized. The pressure from the soil and the water has affected the wall and was finally giving in. To fix this issue, we installed PowerBraces to support the inward movement of the wall. Overtime, these braces can be torqued to help straighten the wall back out. The homeowners loved this solution and we know he has peace of mind knowing his walls are not going anywhere.

Basement Waterproofing in Forest City, IA

One of the worst nightmares for a homeowner with a finished basement is water damage. This was the case for Derek A. in Forest City, Iowa, who noticed that water was coming in from the west wall of his finished basement. As the son of a farmer, Derek was raised to believe that if you fix something, you fix it the right way, and so he called us at Midwest Foundation Repair.

After completing a thorough inspection of the space, we proposed a combination of our WaterGuard drainage system along the west wall, as well as CleanSpace vapor barrier to ensure the space would remain clean and dry from top to bottom. This home was located far beyond the service area of most other contractors, and blizzard conditions at the time required that we adapt to the situation, but in the end Derek has thrilled to have the work completed so he could return his basement to normal.

Uneven Concrete Slabs Repaired in Lake Mills, IA

Mike Y. was buying a home from his parents and wanted to fix the concrete in the driveway and sidewalks. In order to fix the concrete Midwest needed to lift and level the pavement. This project increased the curb appeal of the home.

Midwest two of our patented products, PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected underneath the concrete through dime-sized holes. This is how Midwest leveled the pavement. Next, the team used NexusPro to seal all joints and cracks. Nexus Pro is a silicon-based caulking designed for exterior concrete applications. It is UV resistant, meaning it will not yellow nor dry out and crack over time. It will also remain far more pliable than traditional polyurethane-based caulking's, meaning it will move with your concrete through changing seasonal temperatures. 

Mike was very satisfied with the outcome of the project and is looking forward to moving into his new home.
