Pushing Slanting, Bowing Walls Back Into Place in Garnavillo, IA
A homeowner in Garnavillo, IA had a bowing wall issue. The wall was bowing inward and continued to slant inward as time went on. It was an older basement wall and needed professional help to stabilize it. They contacted the experts in the industry, MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out to take a look at the system and give them the best recommendation that would fix the bowing wall, Push Pier System.
The Push Pier System can permanently stabilize a bowing wall. The system can even lift the foundation back to its original level. Steel tubes are hydraulically driven through steel foundation brackets into the ground. The weight is then transferred through the piers to the soil. The system can be installed year-round and can restore the wall right away bringing the homeowner peace of mind instantly!

SmartJacks Stabilize Sagging Floors in Alexis, IL
Kathy lives in a home that was built in the late 1800’s, and over the years, the floors of the home have begun to slowly sag. Finally, she reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her situation handled. Mike looked at her issue and proposed her a SmartJack system. SmartJacks are galvanized steel columns that have a load compacity of more than 60,000 pounds making them ideal for stabilizing a home’s sagging floor. The concrete floor is dug up and filled with tightly-compacted crushed stone to provide the proper weight barring exertion needed for each column. Once the holes are filled, the SmartJacks are installed and cemented down to the floor and connected to the girder system. Each SmartJack is tightened to permanently stabilize the floor, and even potentially lift the floors back to level.
