Before & After Photos

This homeowner was concerned with their crawlspace foundation wall, which was gradually tipping in from the top due to street creep pushing the garage slab into the back foundation wall. This situation created many risks, including potential harm to the structural integrity of the garage and the homeowner's peace of mind. To solve this problem, we installed wall anchors to ensure their stability and prevent any further deterioration of the walls. Additionally, we installed CompressionGuards to reduce the damage caused by street creep and stop any future issues. Our approach ensured that the homeowner could rest easy, knowing their garage was secure and their house's resale value would not be compromised. 

Here are the before and after pictures of Midwest Foundation Repair leveling cement for a sidewalk in Urbandale. In the before picture you can see the unevenness on the left side of the sidewalk. In the after picture you can see that it is now level thanks to PolyLevel. No more tripping hazards are found here!

Geoff D. wanted to sell his home someday, but first he had to resolve a water problem in his basement. Before he could replace the ruined carpet and drywall, we needed someone to help him keep the basement dry - someone who would stand behind their work for the years ahead. That's why he called Midwest Foundation Repair.

We installed our Waterguard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture and direct any water to the sump pump. Cleanspace vapor barrier was also installed along the basement walls to prevent water from coming into contact with drywall, keeping the space clean, dry and safe.

Have you ever wondered why it's such a big deal if water leaks into your basement? Can't they just mop it up? 

Well, no, not really. If a homeowner is consistently getting water, even if very small amounts, mold will grow. Luckily, we have a solution. We install CleanSpace which is mechanically attached to the basement walls using plastic drilled-in fasteners, ensuring it remains securely in place and continues to prevent water from entering for years to come. 

This customer was experiencing sagging floors on the first level in her home. Upon inspection, we realized the structural support was deteriorating. We used SmartJacks, our crawl space high-capacity steel pier to stabilize and support the home beneath the crawl space.
