Challenge

Jared has been living at his new home for 3 months now but has had water coming in at the wall & floor joint in the basement. Every time there is heavy rain and the water is puddling, he has a sump pump installed from a different company but it seems to not be working. Jared knows every time it rains he will get a wet basement, so he really wants to get this fixed because he plans to finish the basement for extra living space. He searched online for a reputable company and stumbled upon MidAmerica Basement System's website and called in to our appointment center and scheduled an appointment with our design specialist, Bryan Nachazel.

Solution

Bryan Assessed the home and notes that there is water seepage through the wall & floor joints in basement. Bryan educates Jared on our WaterGuard System in conjunction with our Ultra Sump Pump and CleanSpace Wall System. WaterGuard is a Specially-designed piping system engineered specifically to be a very efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. The big difference is that the WaterGuard sits on top of the footing, instead of alongside the footing. When you have a perimeter drainage system installed in your home, your sump pump is your main line of defense against a basement flood. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we install only the best sump pump systems available anywhere. Our sump pump systems include the following features: WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner Sump Liner, Airtight Sump Lid and CleanPump Stands. An UltraSump battery-powered pump to the SuperSump system is added so that the drainage system can operate when the power goes out. The battery backup system will recharge automatically. To help with water vapor and help channel water coming from the walls down to the WaterGuard system, we recommended our CleanSpace Wall System. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner, similar to a pool liner, that is fitted to completely seal off your home from the earth.
