MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Drywall is made of organic materials, making it easy to absorb and retain water, leaving a large mess and problem. Due to the super absorbent material, leaks can go unnoticed until it is too late. Once a small leak is discovered, chances are the “small” leak is a large leak that have ruined large sections of the wall. Installing a waterproofing system is the first step to fixing the basement. To repair the damaged and ruined walls, EverLast Wall Panels are highly suggested. EverLast Wall Panels are made of inorganic materials, preventing moisture damage, mold, and mildew growth. The high density, closed-cell foam insulation provides a durable finish.

Tim and Marg were concerned about their driveway. Multiple areas had sunken, leaving the area unsightly and hazardous. They did not have the money to have their driveway demolished and replaced, and contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their driveway leveled. Cole had offered the solution of PolyLevel to accurately lift and level their sunken driveway. The high-density polymers fill the voids under the concrete and then expand to lift and stabilize the area. PolyLevel offers a waterproof material that will last long and never rot or deteriorate, providing a long-lasting solution.

Danielle and Ben were having issues with their basement windows. During heavy rains, water would collect in the window wells and seep into their basement. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their windows replaced for a better and more efficient seal. Cole communicated with the homeowners that replacing the windows will not solely stop water from seeping into their basement, but will help. He suggested that installing a SunHouse Window Well and cover will add additional help to stopping water seepage. Danielle and Ben now have beautiful basement windows.

Doug and Kelly’s driveway was presenting large tripping hazards, making it unsafe for them and their guests to access. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their driveway lifted and leveled. Design specialist Mike, offered them the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that uses high-density polymers to fill voids, and expands to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. NexusPro Joint Sealant is then applied to the cracks to help properly seal off water from seeping down the crack and washing out the ground underneath. The sealant is flexible to allow it to bend and shift with the natural movement of the ground so the bond stays permanent and holds for many years.
