Before & After Photos

This homeowner was growing concerned because there was water leaking from four of her basement walls. She recently moved to Iowa from Colorado, so she took her sister's advice and trusted Midwest to waterproof her basement. We installed CleanSpace wall vapor barriers on all four walls and also installed a TripleSafe sump pump. This basement is now completely dry!

Midwest Foundation Repair went out to Indianola, IA to encapsulate a home owners crawl space. Encapsulating a crawl space will help the mold and mildew throughout the house. 

This homeowner had serious problems with their foundation walls rotting which affected the structure of their house. Many people and contractors often just try to fix the wood rot without dealing with the main issue. In this case, too much moisture and humidity caused mold to grow and the wood to deteriorate.  We used a combination of sealing and dehumidifying methods to control the moisture. Our team installed a vapor barrier in the crawl space and a self-draining dehumidifier to remove extra moisture and prevent damage in the future.

This customer had a dirt crawlspace that was causing problems like moisture, cold air, warm air, and bugs getting into their home. To fix this, we used CleanSpace encapsulation and drainage matting. The CleanSpace was attached to the walls with special wall anchors to keep out moisture and other things from outside. It was also installed on the dirt floor to stop moisture from the soil and groundwater. The drainage matting helped with the waterproofing too. We suggested installing a sump pump or smart drain to remove any water that might come in. With the combination of smart drains, drainage matting, CleanSpace, and sump pumps, the homeowner now has a protected and safe crawlspace that can be used for storage without worry.

Midwest Foundation Repair got a phone call from Dan talking about how he wanted to sell his house but needed to get his basement walls fixed. He needed one of our experts to come out and give him a quote at no cost to him. He had Tom, our System Design Specialist, come out and talk to Dan about how he will need Power Braces on his basement wall. He wanted Tom to explain that to him because he didn't know what those were. 

Tom explained that they are beams that will go against the wall that is bowing and they will help them move back into place and prevent it from happening again. 

Dan was very pleased with what they can do so he booked the work to be done. He had Matt and his crew come out and fix the walls. Dan was very pleased with what was done with the wall and how Matt was as a foreman. He was impressed that Matt cleaned up after himself and made it look as new as it could.
