MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and can go undetected. Radon is measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) and it is suggested by the EPA that levels higher than 4 pCi/L be reduced. 1 pCi/L is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes per day. Radon becomes present due to the decay of uranium found in the soil and rocks. Installing a Radon Mitigation system from MidAmerica Basement Systems will significantly decrease the levels in your home, making it safer to breathe. Radon Mitigation systems depressurize the soil and ground under the concrete basement by pulling the gases from the ground, preventing them from seeping into the home, and disbursed into the air. 

Josh and Heather have an older home with a block foundation that constantly leaks through the walls. It was making it hard for them to use their basement a storage due to the damp and at times, wet, room. The reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed to collect and discharge the water out of the basement. To address the leaking walls, CleanSpace Liner was installed to help guide the leaking water to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace Liner also creates a moisture barrier for the basement, helping reducing the damp atmosphere and allow for the area to became a storage area for Josh and Heather.

Bill has always had a sump pump in his basement to keep it dry. But lately he was noticing not only his sump pump backing up, but the battery backup was failing too. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. While his sump was being inspected, it was addressed that a new pump was needed in order to keep the basement dry. A new Zoeller M98 Pump would provide the appropriate power needed to discharge water out of Bill’s basement. He was also offered a UltraSump. An UltraSump is a battery backup pump that will continue to discharge water out of the home during power outages.

Roy and Linda started to worry when a wall in there 1940’s home began to crumble and fail. After living there for over ten years the problem quickly began to grow worse. They decided it was time to take the steps to ensure the quality and safety of their home.

Stephanie recently had a sump pump installed in her home after she experienced water in her basement. The TripleSafe sump pump is the most popular sump pump at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The TripleSafe sump pump has three pumps in one system, these make sure that your pump will not fail. If one pump were to fail the other two would take over. Along with the three pumps, the TripleSafe comes with a battery backup in case of power loss and a WaterWatch alarm that will alert you when your sump pump is getting too much water in it.
