MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Orion, IL had their home previously tested for Radon. After receiving positive Radon test results back, they knew it was time to take action. The homeowner contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems and Design Specialist, Mac was able to come out to the homeowner's home to give them the best recommendation to their problem. Mac was able to recommend having a Radon Mitigation System installed within their home. This will help create peace of mind with the homeowner, knowing that after the installation the homeowner would be breathing safe, protected air within their home.

Homeowners in Stockton, IL decided to have their crawlspace encapsulated. Water was getting in, causing the musty smell often associated with a crawlspace, to permeate throughout their entire home. They decided to call the local experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate, and they met with design specialist Bryan Christopherson. Bryan recommended encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace. Now it looks, and smells, great!

When radon gas gets into your lungs it damages lung tissue and can lead to lung cancer over time. Our radon system protects your home from that gas and adds value to your home as well. The radon systems includes a mounting plate, junction box, and protective cover which hold the radon fan and electrical wiring outside of the home effectively riding your home of this harmful gas.

Terry wanted his space to be cleared of debris and he wanted the space to be insulated. The MidAmerica Basement Systems team did all the above and more!

The crawl space before is cold, dark, uncomfortable, and layered with debris. The team cleaned the space by removing all of the debris and then they insulated the walls with SilverGlo. SilverGlo is a foil backed foam insulation that is infused with graphite. The SilverGlo is specially designed to keep heat from escaping the space, and outside air from entering making the space warm and saving the homeowner a bundle on utility bills.

We then installed drainage matting. The drainage matting has dimples allowing rising ground water to flow underneath the CleanSpace liner. The space is then fitted with CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace finishes the sealing process with a thick, durable, flexible plastic that has an antimicrobial additive making it mold resistant. All of the materials used are inorganic meaning that it is least likely to deteriorate and/or become a yummy meal for mold.

The homeowner now has a space that is clean, healthy, and comfortable while saving him money and headaches!

These homeowners in East Moline were noticing repeated water in their basement. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems waterproofed the basement with SuperSump pump system and a perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard. The homeowners also wanted the team to address the issue of a bowing foundation wall so the team installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall. The homeowners now have a safe, stable and dry basement!
