Wall Failure in Evansdale, IA
This homeowner had a block foundation wall that was bowing in and he was concerned that the wall was going to collapse. After getting a few estimates, he knew that he needed our help and expertise to fix his bowing wall.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Portel to inspect the bowing wall and determine what was causing this. Mike found that the soil on the outside of the block wall foundation, causing the wall foundation to fall inwards. He also noticed that there were cracks in the wall that appeared to have grown over time. Mike and the team installed PowerBraces so that the homeowner could move his foundation walls back to their position over time.
The homeowner was very happy with the quality of work and with the professionalism of the group. Check out his new PowerBrace System.
Interior and Exterior Waterproofing in Johnston, IA
This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry all year round, and since he had previously used our services, he decided to give us a call.
We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the water problem in the basement of this homeowner. Michael found that the homeowner had not waterproofed any of the corners that commonly leaked water, and that the downspouts were pointed directly towards the basement. Michael solved this by installing a CleanSpace Basement Wall Vapor Barrier to the interior corners of the basement, burying the downspouts and directing them away from the basement, and he added PolyWells to protect the window from causing any water to seep into the basement.
When the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled that the house looks good and that the installation was quick. Check out the installed PolyWells on the home's exterior!

Braydon found that moisture was coming in through the concrete blocks leaving efflorescence and water stains which made the walls look dirty.

Strong Storm Tests a Sump Pump in Paradise, KS
This homeowner wanted to ensure that his crawlspace continues to stay dry even after the strong storms that had been happening. He started using a different company to help his crawlspace, however when they were no longer servicing him, he gave us a call.
We sent Service Technician Brad Metzger to inspect the crawlspace to see if anything would prevent it from staying dry. Brad found that due to the big storms, 2 of the homeowner's 4 sump pumps were no longer functioning and that the power in the crawlspace no longer worked. The battery backup power on the homeowner's sump pumps was also out of function. Brad knew that due to the size of the crawlspace, the homeowner needed at least 4 sump pumps to ensure that the crawlspace stays dry even during large storms, so he replaced the 2 broken sump pumps with new ones. After that, Brad ran an extension cord from the power in the house to the pump that cycled the most water to help maintain the dry crawlspace until the crawl space power is functioning. The homeowner is considering a new battery backup system, however they have not decided on that yet.
The homeowner was very happy that we were able to diagnose the problem even though there was no power to see the sump pump system in the dark crawl space. Check out the new sump pumps that replaced the older sump pumps!
Wall Anchor Maintenance in Belle Plaine, KS
This homeowner had wall anchors placed in his home a few years ago by our team, however he had not had any annual maintenance appointments scheduled to ensure that he was properly taking care of the anchors. He decided that he needed peace of mind about whether he was taking care of his wall anchors correctly, so he gave us a call.
We sent Service Technician Jason White to inspect the wall anchors and reassure the homeowner that he was properly taking care of the wall anchors. Jason looked over the installation pictures with the homeowner and pointed out the differences that had already been made since the installation of the wall anchors. The over 100-year-old home was secure and everything was functioning to push the walls back into their original position over time.
The homeowner was very happy to have peace of mind that he was doing the right thing with his wall anchors, and he already scheduled another annual maintenance check in for next year. Check out how far the anchors have moved this homeowners wall since they were installed!
