Before & After Photos

Rachel recently had a contractor install jack posts to help support her sinking floors, but quickly realized that they were not installed properly. The jacks that had been installed couldn’t handle the weight of the home, and were beginning to buckle under the pressure, presenting the initial issue Rachel had started with, sinking floors. MidAmerica Basement Systems’ sales rep., Joe, had suggested installing a SmartJack system. SmartJack systems focus on the main issue of the problem, the failing foundation soils underneath. Holes are dug and filled with concrete or tightly-compacted crushed stone, providing the proper stabilization for the weight of the home. 

Homeowners Gary and Vicky have lived in their for many years. Over time they noticed that the walls of the foundation of their home were bowing and cracking. They knew it was time to seek professional advice about the safety and quality of their home. After meeting with MidAmerica Basement Systems and Design Specialist Cole Tatge they knew that fixing the foundation of their home was on the top of their priority list. Gary an Vicky had Power Braces and Carbon Armors installed in your home. The Power Braces are installed to help restore the foundation. CarbonArmors will make sure that the bowing walls will be held in place.
