Before & After Photos

This basement was experiencing extreme wall failure. We stabilized and permanently supported these walls by installing our EverBrace system. This system uses steel panels and beams to transfer the weight of the failing wall onto the new steel wall. Even though it looks pretty cool on its own, you can cover the steel wall with drywall to fit your design style.

This homeowner had water in his basement, but no way of pumping the water out. He was tired of cleaning up the water himself, and he knew that he wanted to use the basement space in the future, so when he saw our services on TV, he gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the basement and determine where the water was getting in as well as solve this water problem. Todd found that water was coming in through the cold joints and was causing pressure on the walls. He discussed the need for additional wall support with the homeowner, and the homeowner agreed that he needed to fix his basement problems soon.

One of our installation teams came to the house and started off by utilizing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a Lateral Line, and a partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep water contained and off the basement floors. Then, the team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to pump water up and out of the basement. To address the wall pressure problem, out installation team replaced the older support braces with new, PowerBraces to effectively stabilize the walls of the newly waterproofed basement. The homeowner was extremely happy with the results and he can't wait to use his basement space however he chooses now. Check out the before and after!

The customer had water coming into her basement from her window, walls and floor joints. 

We waterproofed in the problem areas by installing CleanSpace, well ducts, and a poly well. These all helped remove water from the basement and keep the area dry for her grandkids.  

This homeowner was getting water in her basement making the house settle and causing a huge musty smell throughout her home. She wanted to stop her home from settling further and she wanted to have her home smell better. She gave us a call to get out advise as to what problem she should fix first. 

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson to inspect the basement and foundation to determine what problem would harm her home most and discover what problem needs to be fixed first. Tyler found that water was getting in the basement because in periods of heavy rain, water was pooling at the foundation wall and creeping into the the floor joints and walls. After careful consideration, Tyler came to the conclusion that the basement needed waterproofing in order to stop it from settling, otherwise the home would continue to settle; The air quality problems known from the musty smells could also lead to further health issues. When he talked with the homeowner, the homeowner agreed that the waterproofing needed to be done completely to ensure that no water would get into the home and cause problems.

One of our installation teams went to this home and began to install CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to encapsulate and guide water out of the home. Next, they got to work on redirecting and burying the homeowner's downspouts so that they would send water away from the home's foundation. Finally, the team tackled the air quality problems by installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to rid the home of musty smells. When the homeowner saw the final product, she was very satisfied with her newly waterproofed home. Check out the new waterproofing systems!

Homeowners Cheri and Doug kept getting water in their basement. They called Midwest, worried that the water would start creeping into other parts of their home. Doug was a little skeptical, but once we sent System Design Specialist, Kevin French, to their home to look at the basement and then explained exactly how we do things and why we do it, his mind was at ease. 

Kevin found a small portion of a wall in the cellar of their basement leaking badly. After developing a plan, he sent the install team out to work their magic. We ended up installing WaterGuard on the wall that was leaking. WaterGuard is a drainage system designed to capture water seepage through walls. It's nearly invisible and essentially makes sure that water never reaches your basement floor. In addition, we ran a lateral line from the WaterGuard to the sump pump for proper drainage. 

Cheri and Doug now have a water-free basement! They were so happy they chose Midwest Foundation Repair to give them an in-depth inspection and solve their problem at the same time.
