Des Moines, IA's Best Foundation Repair, Concrete Leveling & Crawl Space Contractor

This homeowner was looking to finish the bedroom in the basement for her son. They were in need for an egress window for safety and resale value in the home. They knew of Midwest and our reputation, so they gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Michael Holtzbauer, came out to meet with them. After his inspection, he determined there was no issue with the home and went over the options of how we could install the egress for them. The install crew came out and the homeowner was very happy with the work. 

These homeowners had an older home and knew there would be a few things that needed to be taken care of. They fell in love with the home and want this to be their forever home. They had Midwest out for previous projects, so they gave us a call. System Design Specialist, Joseph Rebik, came out to meet with them. Joseph did his inspection and found they had a very large porch that was tied into the home and was settling. This was causing cracks in their dry wall along with cracking in their basement slab and issues with doors and windows. Joseph took these findings and went back to the homeowners with a solution. We fixed this issue by installing push piers on their footings and applying pressure to these piers allow us to lift their home back to have everything level and operational again. The homeowners loved this solution knowing that we were going to get this project done right. There is no doubt they have peace of mind for the health of their home. 

These homeowners are living in their forever home and are not able to climb on the ladder to clean out the gutters any longer. Their home is surrounded by mature trees and their gutters were clogged with leaves and walnuts. They had us out in the past before, so they knew they could trust Midwest Foundation Repair. System Design Specialist, Michael Holtzbauer, came out to meet with them. Michael surveyed the area and saw how plugged the gutters really were. He saw how the water was running off the roof and falling right next to the foundation, potentially causing other issues. Michael went back to the homeowners with the findings and a solution. Instead of replacing the full gutter, we installed our gutter guard product called RainDrop. After cleaning out the gutters, they installed RainDrop to protect the gutters from future leaves and debris causing them to clog. Water can then be caught by the gutters and transferred away from the foundation. There is no doubt this homeowners have peace of mind knowing they do not have to get back up on that ladder. 

This customer in Des Moines, IA had old concrete that was starting to settle and crack all around the home. She was worried about the tripping hazards this would cause and wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible. Having seen Thrasher trucks in the neighborhood, she decided to give us a call and see how we can help save her concrete. 

After the crew came out for the inspection, we decided that the best solution would be to use PolyLevel to raise the concrete back into the original place, then use NexusPro to seal and protect the joints. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that expands to lift and support slabs without adding any extra weight to the soil underneath. Then NexusPro joint sealant seals the joints on the concrete to protect the slab from water and other debris from getting under the concrete and causing future damage. 

Our customer can now enjoy her home without having to worry about tripping hazards or future damages to her concrete.

They knew we would have the best solution, and could do the job right the first time. System Design Specialist, Brandon Rost, came out to meet with them. After the inspection, he noticed the stair step cracking, a slight lean in the wall, and water stains. Brandon proposed we use our CleanSpace to keep the water out, as well as prevent any mold from growing, a Dehumidifier to keep moisture levels low, and PowerBraces to stop the wall from leaning and cracking, as well as over time possibly straightening it out. The homeowners were excited with this idea, and we sent out our installation team! The homeowners were every happy they were able to understand why they were having this issues, and what the best solution was. There is no doubt they can enjoy their basement without worries of water getting in!
