MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Recently in Manchester, IA, a homeowner grappled with a tricky situation – their existing sump pump just couldn't keep the invading water at bay, as shown in the photo. That's where we stepped in! Our dynamic duo of a solution, consisting of the WaterGuard system alongside the SuperSump pump, transformed their basement into a dry, welcoming space. Notice in the after photo the difference our installation made, providing a reliable shield against water. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we’re committed to not only solving your immediate challenges but ensuring your home stays secure and dry for the long haul.

In Manchester, IA, a homeowner was surprised to find water in her historically dry basement storage area. Concerned about potential mold growth and wanting the ensure the space stayed dried, she turned to us for help. To remedy the situation, we installed our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and our TripleSafe sump pump. These products work seamlessly together to provide unmatched results and keep the basement entirely dry. With over 35 years of experience, this Manchester homeowner can now rest easy knowing her basement is clean, dry, and safe. 

As you can see in the initial photo, water had made itself right at home. The walls showed clear signs of seepage, and the air was thick with the kind of moisture that keeps a homeowner up at night.

Salesman Dillon Heard stepped in to assess the damage and design a custom defense strategy. Once the plan was set, Foreman Cory Clark and his crew took over, weaving their magic to seal out the elements. The team installed a comprehensive waterproofing system, including:

• CleanSpace Encapsulation: To create a vapor-tight barrier against the foundation.
• Drainage Matting: To direct any trapped water toward the exit.
• The SuperSump: Our high-performance pump system to ensure the basement stays dry even during the heaviest Iowa downpours.

Take a look at the "After" photo—the difference is night and day! What was once a notorious disaster zone is now a snug, dry, and protected sanctuary. Thanks to the expertise of Dillon and Cory, this homeowner is feeling a thousand times drier and a whole lot happier.

Before our team stepped in, you could hardly level a bet that this Manchester, IA homeowner's concrete slabs weren’t going to become a skateboard ramp for water pooling right next to their home.

That's where our crew came to the rescue! System Design Specialist Shawn Conaway first assessed the area and designed the perfect game plan. Then, Foreman Justin Maddox and his crew member, Tanner, stepped onto the scene to execute the strategy flawlessly.

Using our advanced PolyLevel system, Justin and Tanner heroically lifted those stubborn slabs, showing water the right path away from the foundation. To finish the job, they applied NexusPro to seamlessly seal the cracks. Thanks to its unrivaled flexible bonding, rainwater now gets a polite but firm “no entry” sign.

You’d think Shawn, Justin, and Tanner practiced magic with such precise results! But our only real secret is combining friendly expertise with cutting-edge solutions—making places safer and smiles wider, one slab at a time.

Check out this recent foundation save. Those "before" cracks weren't just an eyesore—they were a major roadblock for these homeowners’ basement refinishing dreams.

We stepped in with our Polyurethane Crack Injection to seal the deal (and the walls). As you can see in the "after" shot, the foundation is now rock-solid and ready for its makeover.

Refining your space starts with a stable base. When you’re ready to build those dreams, we’ll handle the groundwork!
