MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Fred contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems after having some pooling of water in his garage space. He has lived in his home for over 35 years and just noticed this problem in the last few years. He did not want the problem to get worse and didn't want to create other problems in this space so he knew it was time to make a change. By having a WaterGuard System installed along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, you can be guaranteed that your space will stay dry.

These homeowners wanted to insulate and further waterproof their basement so they contacted the MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team insulated the basement by installing Basement to Beautiful panels. Now the basement is dry and toasty!

Rick was having issues with his garage puddling and pooling during having rains. When he reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems, design specialist Chris, provided him with an option to keep the garage dry. A WaterGuard drainage system was offered to help collect the seeping water, and redirect it to a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard is a patented drainage system that uses special flanges to help collect seeping water floors and even leaking foundation walls. The TripleSafe sump also offers a three pump system to ensure all water is discharged, even during power outages.

This Princeton, IA homeowner was concerned about the stability of their basement walls due to inward bowing. To permanently address this issue and prevent further movement, we installed GeoLock wall anchors.

GeoLock is a foundation repair system specifically designed to stabilize bowing basement walls. Here's how it works:

• Earth Anchors: Heavy-duty anchors are placed deep in stable soil outside the foundation.
• Steel Rods: These anchors are connected to the bowing wall with long, galvanized steel rods that resist corrosion.
• Wall Plate: A steel plate is attached to the inside of the basement wall, distributing the pressure from the rod.
• Tightening Mechanism: The rods can be tightened over time, straightening the wall back to its original position in some cases.

By anchoring the wall to stable soil, GeoLock counteracts the pressure causing the bowing and reinforces the foundation. This minimally disruptive solution can be hidden behind finished basement walls and provides peace of mind for homeowners

Danny has always had a sump pump in his basement, but during long, heavy rains falls, he would still get water in the area. He thought maybe it was time for a new sump pump and called MidAmerica Basement Systems. During evaluation, it was noted that his existing pump worked properly, and advised him to have WaterGuard installed. This will prevent water from seeping in from the floors, and will help redirect it properly to the sump pump. WaterGuard is a drainage system that helps collect and redirect water, preventing it from surfacing on the floor. Danny no longer worries of water seeping through during heavy rains.
