MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners of this basement in Walcott contacted the professionals at MidAmerca Basement Systems to transform their basement floor. The team installed ThermalDry flooring in Parquet and now the homeowners have a great looking basement by making one change!

ThermalDry Flooring is made for the basement atmosphere. It’s raised peg system provides the proper gap between the concrete floor and tile, allowing for moisture to pass under the tile without causing damage and provides a thermal break from the cold ground. ThermalDry Flooring is made up of completely inorganic materials so they will never become warped, rot, or grow mold. The simple snap-lock system allows for quick tile change, or if your basement floods, allows to easily be removed and dried out and put back together.

Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas from the decay of radium. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and is found both inside and outside your home. Radon levels become very concentrated in a home and can only be detected by special kits. Installing a Radon Mitigation system, Radon is pulled directly out from underneath the home, and discharged out of the home, leaving the air quality of the home healthier and safer to breathe.

Andrew was concerned about the levels of radon in his home. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems he was interested in hearing about our Radon Mitigation systems and why they are important to have in your home. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Radon can not only affect you but also the pets you have in your home. Radon in its natural form, uranium, can change into radium. During this transformation, the Nobel gas radon is released. It then travels out of the earth and gets trapped in our homes and buildings. At this point, the radon goes through another transformation- it breaks down into a solid radioactive element called radon decay.
