MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Roberta was ready to put her home on the market, when her realtor insisted on fixing the cracked and unlevel walkway to the front door. While looking around at her options, Roberta came across the PolyLevel system offered by MidAmerica Basement Systems. Similar, but more effective than mudjacking, PolyLevel is injected under the concrete to lift and raise sunken concrete, allowing for cracks to realign. PolyLevel’s light weight foam precisely fills and lifts concrete, while providing a more permanent solution than typical mudjacking. After the job was complete, Roberta had a walkway that looked brand new, giving her curb appeal a much nicer look, and ready for the market.

Betty is a former customer that was noticing water seeping in the foundation walls of her basement. The water had nowhere to go, causing it to pool on the floor instead of reaching the sump pump to be discharged. It was proposed to her by MidAmerica Basement Systems that she have CleanSpace and WaterGuard installed to address the new issue. CleanSpace provides a vapor barrier between the wall and basement, preventing moisture from entering the area and helping direct water to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the floor and wall joint to collect the water that we seeping in from the walls. Once it collects into the WaterGuard, it can be directed to the sump pump, and properly discharged.

A foundation crack had become present in Marty’s basement and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was beginning to notice a small amount of water seepage and didn’t want it to become a larger problem. A WaterGuard and TripleSafe systems were offered to address the issue. The special wall flag that is offered with the WaterGuard system allows for water to be collected from the seeping wall, and redirected to the TripleSafe. Marty no longer has to worry about water seeping in his basement and ruining his belonging.

Finishing a basement before it is waterproofed is never a good choice. At some point the floors and walls will begin to leak, ruining the basement. As for Aj and Pat, this was just the case. The paneling that had be placed on the walls was hiding a leaking issue, slowly causing the finished walls to warp and rot. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their situation looked at. It was addressed that a foundation crack was causing the walls to leak and ruin the walls. A WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any and all seeping water. A TripleSafe sump was also installed to discharge water out of the home.

Leaking pipes are very common, and when they are placed behind walls, leaks go unattended until it is too late. At Aj’s home in East Moline, leaking pipes in his basement went unnoticed due to wall paneling, causing mold growth, moisture damage, and musty smells. Installing a TripleSafe and WaterGuard system from MidAmerica Basement Systems helps prevent future mold growth and moisture/water damage, and prevents musty smells. To repair the damaged walls, installing EverLast Wall Panels not only offers insulation, but will not be damaged by mold or moisture. The high-density closed cell foam insulated walls will not absorb water or moisture, preventing warping and rotting. The EveryLast panels also give the basement a finished look that works with any basement environment.
