The foundation of your home is one of the most important pieces of your home. It supports the entire weight of your home. In St. Louis there are a couple of types of foundation, these include cinder block, stone, and poured concrete foundations. Regardless of the type of foundation they all serve the same purpose and need to be kept stable and level to perform properly. If there are problems with your home's foundation, it can make your home dangerous to live in and they need to be repaired quickly.
Our team at Mid America Piering has been helping homeowners in St Louis protect their homes from settlement damage for years. Our team specializes in providing immediate repairs for any settlement issues you may be experiencing. From wall cracks to bowed walls and sinking, we can help you with anything.
Bucking and bowing foundation walls are a common problem for homes built in the St. Louis area. Your basement walls serve two main purposes; to keep your basement free of the surrounding soil, and to hold up the structure of your home. If you have noticed bowed or buckling basement walls, then both of those functions can be compromised which can lead to much bigger problems and potentially expensive damage to your home.
At Mid America Piering, there are a lot of homeowners who come to us with street creep problems. However, most of them don't know that their concrete problem is known as "street creep." Street creep is sometimes referred to as concrete creep and is the result of the movement, expansion, or shifting of the concrete because of thermal changes throughout the year.

We are in the process of buying a home that this company repaired around 20 years ago. At that time, they warrantied their work for the life of the home. When I called to confirm the warranty, Rick called me back in a timely fashion. Although his tone is somewhat brusk, he was able to communicate to me what I needed after the current owner called and gave him permission to do so. If you find yourself in this situation, make sure to get a "warranty transfer sheet" and fill it out within 30 days of closing. Thanks again, Rick!

Had work done to my basements by Mid American, piering and braces in 2002, 2004, and 2007. I had them come back and check the work because I thought it had shifted, because their where more cracks in the spots that they had sealed, and cracks in my drywalls. Rick said no that that was ok. Now I am selling my home and had a structural engineer look at the work that had been done and he reported the work they did had failed the braces had shifted. Rick responded to a e-mail he would replace the braces and fix the work.
After not showing up 2 times he sent someone to just seal the cracks. I had another comapany look at the work and told me it had failed that the braces where not put down deep enough and were too small. Rick screamed at me when I called to complain that I thought he was replacing the braces. I have called his office many times the office hours are between 8-5 no one answers the phone. Now I am have the work redone costing me more money. Plesae Don't use this company.

A great story. I had water issues in the basement of a house we bought and thought the only way to stop the problem was by installing a waterproofing drain tile system. At least that is what the first two companies that came out to analyze the issue told me. I had seen a lot of tv and radio ads for these two companies so I assumed they were honest.
I'm so glad I got a 3rd opinion. I found MidAmerica on a web search. After Steve reviewed with me the past history of when and where the seepage was happening in my basement, he suggested I first do downspout extensions to see if diverting the water from the roof when it rained hard might stop the water getting into the basement. A simple fix I did not think would help.
I tried it, and it worked. I was ready to spend about 7 grand and due to this company did not have to because of them helping me rather than just selling me something I really did not need. WOW - thank you and please know I truly appreciate how you do business.

In 2012 we had the piers installed under our home because the soil was moving and causing the house to settle. Steve and his team installed six steel piers and lifted up the foundation back to it's original height. The process was expensive but the result was it put our house on a solid footing again. We shopped all the big foundation repair companies and the small ones and found the Mid America Piering to be the most knowledgeable and easy to work with for this job.

Finally we have a leaky basement no more thanks to Rick and his staff. For years I lived with a basement that leaked like a sieve every time it would rain hard. Very pleased with both the initial experience and the whole installation process. We shopped around and get 5 bids and Mid America (though not the lowest quote) really had the experience we were looking for in a contractor. They are a smaller family owned business with a long history of doing work and their references checked out great. I'd recommend them.

Our house had settlement and was sinking all along the corner near the garage. Steve came out and did a great job explaining the problem and provided a reasonable solution. These guys are good at what they do and did everything as promised. Installation team was polite and did a great job on the clean up.

Our home was settling in one of the corners. The Mid America guys were really professional and did the foundation piering work just as they had it outlined in the work proposal. I found them on Angies List and was satisfied with the whole process. Dealing directly with the owner gave us some peace of mind as well.
