MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Lois had previous water damage to her newly installed insulation to her basement. She did not realize she needed a waterproof system until it was too late, and quickly made a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems. A TripleSafe and WaterGuard were installed to collect and discharge any future water intrusion, and a SaniDry XP was installed to keep the air dry and free of moisture. Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels were installed to provide the proper insulation for a basement. The panels provide a waterproof barrier that will never ruin from moisture or water and have a 24% more energy savings result than normal insulation.

Rachel recently had a contractor install jack posts to help support her sinking floors, but quickly realized that they were not installed properly. The jacks that had been installed couldn’t handle the weight of the home, and were beginning to buckle under the pressure, presenting the initial issue Rachel had started with, sinking floors. MidAmerica Basement Systems’ sales rep., Joe, had suggested installing a SmartJack system. SmartJack systems focus on the main issue of the problem, the failing foundation soils underneath. Holes are dug and filled with concrete or tightly-compacted crushed stone, providing the proper stabilization for the weight of the home. 

Lori has a 600 square foot home, with limited storage space. She would like to be able to store things in her crawlspace, but because of the dirt floor, the area is always full of moisture. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her crawlspace encapsulated so she could use the area as storage. Lori was offered CleanSpace encapsulation with a SmartSump, SilverGlo, and a SaniDry Sedona. The CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that permanently seals off the ground from the crawlspace, while the SmartSump discharges any moisture or water that enters under the home. SilverGlo is a foam board insulation that will make the crawlspace more energy efficient for the home. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to help keep moisture levels under control, making it ideal and safe to use the crawlspace as extra storage.

Steve was concerned with the appearance of the entrance to his home. Over the years the front stoop had begun to sink, leaving unsightly, large gaps. He was not happy with the mudjacking solution because of the large, ugly holes that are drilled into the concrete so the solution can be injected. He heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems solution of PolyLevel and contacted Cole for more information. Cole explained to Steve that he would not have to worry about large, ugly holes in the concrete. PolyLevel uses holes smaller than the size of a dime to inject the solution. It provides a stabile base for the stoop to hold and expands to lift and level the area back to its original state. He also suggested applying a NexusPro Joint Sealant to prevent washouts from future rainfalls throughout the sidewalk and driveway. Steve no longer has an ugly entrance to his front door now that his stoop is lifted and leveled once again.

Lora was experiencing high humidity levels in her basement and contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. She explained to Joe that she wanted to someday finish her basement but knew that if there was a moisture issue, she would only be wasting her money. After inspecting her situation, Joe offered her a TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace system. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the walls to help reduce the humidity levels. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier, and also helps guide any moisture to the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any seeping water and redirect it to the TripleSafe. Lora now has a basement that is waterproofed and lowered humidity, and suitable for basement finishing.
