Water getting into a basement is not an ideal situation for any homeowner! A homeowner in Stanwood, IA was tired of putting up with the watery mess that she kept finding in her basement. It would happen quite often when it would rain and they were tired of finding more rain in their home than outside. The water was coming in around a certain spot in their basement. They knew it was time to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out and take a look at their basement. Since the water was coming in around the perimeter, he knew what the best solution was to fix their water problem, WaterGuard!
The WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of the homeowner's basement. It is a very effective and reliable system to have installed within your home. It is a piping system that will intercept water as it comes into the home. After the water is collected it will drain the water safely and unseen to the sump pump system to pump the water out of the basement. It is even designed with a special WaterGuard port that works well as an inspection port and also as a continuous dehumidifier drain. The best part about WaterGuard is that since it's installed around the perimeter it still allows you to use your basement for recreational or storage purposes.
Now the homeowner is able to rest easy again knowing that their basement will once again be clean and dry. They will no longer have any worries in mind the next time it rains thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team.

New waterproofing system helps a home with water issue in Hopkinton, IA
Leaking basements can cause a number of issues to your home. A home in Monticello had an issue with water leaking in the basement, causing dampness, even though there was a sump pump. A quick call to MidAmerica Basement Systems, crew members were able to fix the issue. They installed CleanSpace and WaterGuard to help direct any water to the sump pump. A SaniDry XP was also installed to help keep any extra moisture out of the air. Now water is properly discharged from the home, and air is dry.
Jason has been having issues with water pooling on his sidewalk due to sinking areas of the concrete. He was unsure how it would be fixed because it was a special and unique pour that had been designed just for his home. He contacted many concrete lifting companies for suggestions on how to fix the issue. Each company had a solution, but all had a downfall of large, discolored solutions that would distract the eye to the injected area. When Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived to offer him PolyLevel, Jason was still hesitant. Cole continued to discuss the PolyLevel solution with small 5/8th injection sites that are covered to match the rest of the concrete so the end result does not distract the eye. PolyLevel will also lift, level, and stabilize the sunken slab to prevent water from pooling in the area. The once 5-inch sunken concrete, no longer pools with water and is back to level.
