Before & After Photos

In Mackinaw, IL, homeowners faced a challenge with their floor support, they began noticing the floors were not stable and they knew this could lead to bigger issues. They reached out to us, a family-owned and operated business with over 35 years of experience. Our goal was to reduce the floor bounce caused by the weakened supports and restore the home's stability. Our solution: the SmartJack System, effectively installed by our team. As you can see in the after photo, we stabilized the homes floor joists, restoring the structures integrity and the homeowners peace of mind. 

Dustin was noticing stair-step cracking in his block foundation and grew concern. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue looked at to find out what solution would best fit his home. It was noted that the walls had begun to bow, causing the cracking. A GeoLock Wall Anchor system was offered to stabilize the walls, preventing them from worsening over time. GeoLock Anchors are placed outside the home’s foundation, locking into the soil to produce the appropriate hold needed for the failing walls. Galvanized steel walls are than attached to the foundation walls to lock the system into place. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system allows for the walls to be tightened over time, increasing the chances of straightening the walls to their original state.

Homeowner Anthony noticed some cracking in the foundation of his home when he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. After learning about all of his options he decided that Carbon Armor were the best option for him and his home.  Carbon Armors are used on foundations to make sure the cracking stops and to child the wall from bowing.

Returning customer Jamie had a waterproofing system installed his basement. He recently was noticing his foundation walls beginning to crack and bow. During inspection, it was proposed having a GeoLock Wall Anchor System installed to the cracked and bowing wall. The anchor system permanently stops the wall from bowing, and over time, can potentially be straightened back to the original state.
