Warren F. of Oelwein, IA decided he wanted to get his basement finished. He called MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate, and met with design specialist Joe Sarb. Joe and Warren worked together and designed a finished basement system, and Warren picked from many beautiful flooring options and other materials. In order to get the finishes added to the basement, though, the basement first needed to be waterproofed with a full perimeter WaterGuard. These pictures show before and after the WaterGuard is installed. Once the concrete dries, you'll never even know WaterGuard was installed!
Oelwein homeowner, Warren F., wanted to add a basement bedroom and an entertaining room to his partially finished basement. He needed to get the rest of the basement finished, so after looking at the Total Basement Finishing line online, he decided to call the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.
He met with design specialist Joe Sarb who helped Warren design the basement from top to bottom, hide nasty duct work, and make sure that the basement stays dry and won't be damaged by water. The floors, walls, and ceiling are all made of waterproof, mold-resistant, inorganic materials - and they look really nice!
