Egress Window Upgrade in Marion, IA

Before the transformation, the homeowner's egress well was a hidden hazard, posing a risk to their family's safety. The aging well was not only unsightly but also prone to water damage and structural issues. As you can see in the "before" photo, the well was in dire need of repair. MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to rectify the situation, transforming the well into a safe and functional space. By replacing the old well with a new, sturdy, and watertight structure, as depicted in the "after" photo, we ensured the homeowner's peace of mind. Our team's expertise and commitment to quality guaranteed a seamless installation process, leaving the homeowner with a safer and more secure home. Located right in Cedar Rapids, IA, this project is a testament to our dedication to providing exceptional solutions that protect your home's foundation and enhance its overall value.

Uneven Floor Repair in Marion, IA

A Marion, IA homeowner noticed their main level floors felt uneven and insecure. Concerned about their homes stability, they sought our team's expertise. We addressed the issue by using our SmartJack System, ideal for stabilizing beams and floor joists. In the after photo, see how the SmartJack provides a strong, adjustable foundation, correcting the sag and providing peace of mind. Our work ensured their home now rests on solid ground with improved stability. 

Uniquely Placed SuperSump Pump in Aurora, IL

A SuperSump pump was installed in the middle of the floor because it was the lowest point of the basement. This is odd as usually it is in the corner of the basement but it's important that a sump pump be at the lowest point. It is also connected to a lateral so that the water from the WaterGuard can still reach the SuperSump.

From Mystery Mold to Bone-Dry: A Winthrop Basement Transformation

Facing water problems in the basement? We know how that feels! This Winthrop, IA homeowner was in the same boat, desperate to use their basement for more than just storage for mystery mold.

 

Our system design specialist, Shawn Conaway, stepped in to blueprint the perfect rescue plan. Then, foreman Jacob Schultz and his stellar crew, Colby and Jeremiah, got to work bringing the vision to life.

 

After some serious TLC from the team—featuring our trusty WaterGuard system networked by the noble TripleSafe sump pump—this basement is officially drier than a sense of humor at a fish fry. Add in CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, our legendary SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a bit of drainage pizzazz, and the results speak for themselves.

 

Anytime this crew is on the job, you know the transformation is going to be spectacular!
