Before & After Photos

Homeowner, Wade was experiencing a bowing wall and contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to help out. Design Specialist, Joe was able to come out to Wade's home and recommend the best permanent solution for his bowing wall problem. Joe recommended a PowerBrace System and Pete was able to come out and install the system in Wade's home for him. 

The PowerBrace System is the best solution if the homeowner wants a permanent solution to continue to stabilize the wall over time. This system will also stabilize the wall right away, leaving Wade to be worry free once the system is in place. It is also a solution if there is no access to the exterior walls of the home. There may be property lines, other structures, underground obstacles, and landscaping in the way. This system reverses the bowing wall problem, bringing it back to its upright position. 

This Moline, IL, homeowner knew their basement needed lots of repairs and decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. We rolled up our sleeves and provided them with a remarkable experience and basement transformation. The installation included a powerful WaterGuard system alongside a SuperSump for a dry basement with PowerBraces to ensure the walls stayed stable for years to come. Now this homeowner can relax with peace of mind that his basement is restored.

This Bryant, IA home was experiencing some bowing along the basement wall. Bowing can be concerning, as it means the wall is no longer fully supported. After a thorough inspection, it was decided that PowerBraces would be the perfect solution! The PowerBraces both stabilize and have the ability to move the wall back to it's original position, leaving the home with a secure and stable wall.

This homeowner's wall was suffering from stairstep cracks, and was leaning inward.  Design specialist Dustin Shepard was sent out to the home to evaluate. Soon, PowerBraces were installed, to halt the suffering wall in its tracks.

Bowing walls appear due to the pressure changes that come from outside forces. CarbonArmor can permanently stop and stabilize bowing walls. The flexible, carbon fiber fabric tightly “hugs” the wall, giving it the needed coverage and adhesion for the failing walls. The special epoxy is applied to both the CarbonArmor strap and the wall, allowing for proper penetration of the porous walls. CarbonArmor has a low profile design, allowing for BrightWall to be placed over top of it. BrightWall gives your dark and dirty basement a whole new look that won’t rot, chip, crack or mold! BrightWall is made of inorganic materials so you never have to worry about it getting ruined by water and moisture.
