Mark and Shawn recently purchased a home with a finished basement and were told not to worry about it becoming damaged because a sump pump had been installed. One day after a heavy rain, they began to notice water seeping in around the corner of the basement, making the floors and walls wet. When they looked deeper into the issue, large damage was found behind the drywall. Mark and Shawn quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the issue. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the concrete foundation to help control the moisture issues and WaterGuard was installed along the floor and wall joint to collect the seeping water and help redirect it to the existing sump pump. Now Mark and Shawn have a proper waterproofing system that will prevent future damage to the finished basement.
After living in their home for a year and a half, these Dunlap, IA homeowners were dismayed to discover water intrusion in their crawl space. The water was leading to mold growth and they were rightly concerned about the potential long-term structural damage. To protect their investment and health, they contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. We transformed the space utilizing our encapsulation system. This system fully sealed the space with a thick, pool-liner-like material called CleanSpace. CleanSpace eliminates moisture and prevents mold growth in the space. By eliminating these dark, wet conditions, the system also keeps out insects and pests that thrive there. Most importantly, since air from the crawl space rises into the main living area, encapsulation significantly improves the overall air quality of their home by reducing mold spores, musty odors, and humidity. Thanks to the full encapsulation, they now enjoy a healthier, protected home.
