Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing systems use closed drainage and patented sump pumps to eliminate hydrostatic pressure and moisture intrusion. We install wall vapor barriers that direct water into sub-floor systems, protecting against mold growth and structural damage. This comprehensive approach improves indoor air quality and increases property value by ensuring long-term basement dryness.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl Shield Encapsulation creates moisture-resistant environments using reinforced vapor barriers and dehumidifiers. This system prevents mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations while improving energy efficiency. Our multi-layer protection includes drainage systems and structural reinforcement to address both moisture and foundation stability issues.
Foundation Repair
We specialize in fixing foundation cracks, bowing walls, and settlement issues using push piers, carbon fiber strapping, and steel I-beams. Our engineers diagnose root causes before implementing permanent solutions that restore structural integrity. Techniques include interior and exterior repair methods tailored to soil conditions and damage severity.
Sump Pump Installation
Our sump pump systems feature high-capacity pumps with battery backups to prevent basement flooding during power outages. We install complete systems including alarms, maintenance plans, and emergency services. Regular servicing ensures reliable operation during critical weather events, protecting homes from water damage.
Crack Repair
We address foundation cracks using epoxy injections for non-structural cracks and structural steel supports for load-bearing wall damage. Our assessments determine whether cracks result from normal settling or serious foundation movement. Repairs include warranties and are performed using materials matching original construction specifications.

Report
Our church was experiencing water problems in the church basement for years. I contacted midwest basement tech. They visited the site, explained a procedure and provided an estimate for services. Work was scheduled and completed in a timely manner. Service was professional, successful and done very quickly with minimal disruption. To this date we have had no more water problems in the basement.
