Basement Waterproofing in Manchester, IA

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.

Saving a Manchester Home from Water Pooling

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.

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

Clean Dry Basement in Strawberry Point, IA

Homeowners in Strawberry Point, IA were tired of their problematic basement and the headache that it caused them. They called MidAmerica GBasement Systems to help them with the goals they had for this space. 

Dramatically Lifting and Leveling Sinking Concrete for Home in Oakville, IA

Don was having issues with a section of his concrete patio sinking down towards his home’s foundation. When it rained water would pool, and eventually drain towards the foundation, posing threat to a leaking basement. He quickly reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have PolyLevel injected. During evaluation, the sloping section had measured at a large 2 inch drop. Crewmen Richard and David got to work to lift the sloping concrete patio with ease. The effectiveness of PolyLevel allowed for appropriate lifting in quick time, with effective stabilizing results. The once large, 2 inch drop is now level with the rest of the patio. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied along the crack between the patio and home’s foundation to divert any future water away from the foundation, protecting it from washing out the ground from under the slab, and helping prevent future basement leaks.
