Photo Album: Foundation and Wet Basement Repair in Des Moines, IA

In Des Moines, IA, this family had lived in a house that needed foundation repair solutions. The pandemic caused some delays in progressing the project, but it officially became time to restore their basement to normal. They have had work done by us in the past and didn't hesitate to call another solution in a separate area of the house.  Their west basement wall was bowing inward from the hydrostatic pressure, constantly applying force. Their sump pump was also aged and not up to current codes. The customer opted to have Midwest install a combination of foundation repair and basement waterproofing products seen in the photos. As a result, the family couldn't have been more excited to have their basement fully repaired and in its final stage of finishing. It's projects like these that assure us we're moving forward and making an effort to redefine our industry.

Behind the west basement wall, you can see the problem at hand. The wall was bowing inward from the extreme amounts of hydrostatic pressure, causing severe cracks in the walls and making them vulnerable to water seepage.

Water Stains and Failed Repairs

The cracks on the walls had previously been sealed, but they failed as the walls continued to bow in.

A Dated Sump Pump

When sump pumps are aged and not maintained regularly, they can cause harm to your home. They are responsible for removing the water captured in the home, and when not functioning properly, they become a risk for a flooded basement.

Behind the PowerBrace is our CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and underneath is our WaterGuard interior drainage system. These two products are responsible for capturing any moisture that infiltrates the walls and directing it towards the sump pump.

To complete the project, our TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to guarantee this home stays dry year-round. This family chose to have our waterproofing system installed, in addition to the foundation repair, so they could have full peace of mind resuming their basement finishing project.
