Before & After Photos

This Moline, IL, homeowner knew their basement needed lots of repairs and decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. We rolled up our sleeves and provided them with a remarkable experience and basement transformation. The installation included a powerful WaterGuard system alongside a SuperSump for a dry basement with PowerBraces to ensure the walls stayed stable for years to come. Now this homeowner can relax with peace of mind that his basement is restored.

At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we believe in turning home concerns into comforts. As you can see in the before photo, these basement walls had seen better days, they were severely bowing and understandably causing concern for the homeowner. The after photo showcases our solution, PowerBraces! This state of the art product not only stabilized the walls but also gave peace of mind back to the homeowners knowing her home was structurally sound again.

This Bryant, IA home was experiencing some bowing along the basement wall. Bowing can be concerning, as it means the wall is no longer fully supported. After a thorough inspection, it was decided that PowerBraces would be the perfect solution! The PowerBraces both stabilize and have the ability to move the wall back to it's original position, leaving the home with a secure and stable wall.

This homeowner's wall was suffering from stairstep cracks, and was leaning inward.  Design specialist Dustin Shepard was sent out to the home to evaluate. Soon, PowerBraces were installed, to halt the suffering wall in its tracks.

Bowing walls appear due to the pressure changes that come from outside forces. CarbonArmor can permanently stop and stabilize bowing walls. The flexible, carbon fiber fabric tightly “hugs” the wall, giving it the needed coverage and adhesion for the failing walls. The special epoxy is applied to both the CarbonArmor strap and the wall, allowing for proper penetration of the porous walls. CarbonArmor has a low profile design, allowing for BrightWall to be placed over top of it. BrightWall gives your dark and dirty basement a whole new look that won’t rot, chip, crack or mold! BrightWall is made of inorganic materials so you never have to worry about it getting ruined by water and moisture.
