MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Gail had begun to notice water seeping in through the crawlspace opening, making the basement and crawlspace wet and moldy. He was concerned with the current system that was installed, and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the issue resolved. Design Specialist, Dan, offered the solution of a total crawlspace encapsulation and a basement waterproofing system to keep both areas dry. CleanSpace Matting and Liner were installed in the crawlspace to prevent moisture from seeping in the through the exposed ground, providing a permanent seal for the home. Vent covers and spray foam were added along the crawlspace walls to eliminate moisture from entering and to make the area more energy efficient. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed in the basement portion along the crawlspace wall to discharge water from the crawlspace and to prevent water seepage in the rest of the basement.

After having his basement waterproofed, homeowner, Steve wanted his basement to look like water has never touched it. He wanted the space to be once again functional where his family could enjoy watching TV and playing games. MidAmerica Basement Systems was happy to help! On top of waterproofing his basement, Bill was able to install Elite Plank Flooring to finish off his space.

Real wood should never be installed within a basement. The TheremalDry Elite Plank Flooring system gives you that warm, luxurious look without you having to worry about water or moisture distorting the flooring. It contains no wood at all, just the look of it. It comes in two different shades, a light pecan, and dark walnut. Installer, Bill was able to install dark walnut in Steve's home. The flooring is installed by locking the planks together. They are designed with raised pegs, so they do not sit directly on the concrete floor. They are designed to sit above so water vapor does not get trapped underneath the system. If there ever happens to be any type of water leak the planks can be easily removed and dried and reinstalled as nothing happened!

This Chillicothe, IL home recently underwent a renovation project. Included in that renovation project was a new radon mitigation system to ensure radon levels are below the recommended level. The premium radon mitigation system protects residents from toxic radon gas, the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
