MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Pekin wanted to make the basement a usable area, but didn’t want to completely finish it off. They knew they needed to install a waterproofing system but wanted to make the basement look less like a basement. After they had a SuperSump and WaterGuard installed, MidAmerica Basement Systems offered BrightWall. BrightWalls are a clean, dry, waterproof way to effectively turn your basement walls into a pleasant sight. They are designed to cover dirty, ruined basement walls, while providing a wall that doesn’t chip or bubble, like paint. Now the basement looks less like a basement, and can be used without the worry of leaking water.

Jim’s basement is home to his children’s playroom, but because it’s completely made of concrete, it is a very cold playroom. He was unsure of placing insulation along the wall because he knew that the cold, damp concrete would ruin the insulation, defeating the purpose of the insulation. MidAmerica Basement Systems had the perfect insulation solution for Jim’s basement. ThermalDry Wall is a moisture and vapor barrier that will not be effected by the damp concrete. Its unique design is heat-reflective, allowing 97% of your home’s heat to stay inside rather than escaping. Jim’s children now have a playroom that stays room, making it an enjoyable place.

Homeowner Jennie has lived in her home for a year and has had many concerns about the water and the wall in her basement. After inches of water she decided it was time to take action. She wanted the work done as soon as possible and she knew that she could count on MidAmerica Basement Systems to get the job done quickly and done by the best. When she met with design specialist Troy Hamilton she knew that she would be given the best option for her home.

Homeowner Jennie has lived in her home for the last year. She was displeased with the way her crawlspace looked so she called MidAmerica Basement Systems. She decided that encapsulating her crawlspace was the best option for her home. Encapsulation included using CleanSPace technology to keep the space clean and dry and also free of mold. The CleanSpace is a thick layer similar to a poll liner that keeps your crawlspace free of moisture. The liner also can keep out rodents and insects. 

A homeowner in Pekin, IL with a home built in the 1900s started to notice their home having some wear and tear. The walls have begun to bow inward and crack and the flooring has begun to sag and begin to rot. Knowing this was a bigger issue than what they could fix on their own, the homeowner searched the internet to come across a well-known industry in their area, MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help them out!

Your flooring can weaken and rot over time and cause the flooring to sag. Floor framing can be spanned too far out making the floor start to sag. Piers that have been installed with improper footings can sink. There could also be too much weight added to a floor system that is not designed to handle the load. There is a system that can be installed that would fix this issue, a SmarkJack floor support system. SmartJack is an adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and raise your flooring back up to where it was. It is designed with an adjustable screw that can jack up the floor and can always be adjusted again in the future. 

Having a SmartJack installed within the homeowner's home eliminated several worries this homeowner once had. Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team this home is looking great!
