This flooring comes in two great colors, Light Pecan, and Dark Walnut. This flooring contains no wood at all and can not be affected by water in any way, not even by moisture. The planks are designed with a pegged back allowing the flooring to sit above the cement flooring. This allows the floor to breathe and makes the temperature of the flooring warmer.

Homeowner Mark has recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about basement waterproofing. They were experiencing water that was coming in from the walls they feared that the if they did not address the issue that it would lead to further damage to their home and potentially their belongings. They had a full perimeter waterproofing system installed in their home. The WaterGuard System is installed around all of the exterior walls and acts as a channeling system that moves the water to the sump pump. The sump pump will then pump the water out of the home. 

Homeowner Gail recently had a service technician in her home to take a look at a problem she as having with her waterproofing systems. There was water coming in from under her steps that was causing a problem with her waterproofing system. To fix this problem the system was repaired and a layer of wall clean space was added to the home as a moisture barrier to keep the home dry. 

Jacob was beginning to notice water seeping in his basement but was concerned that it would not be fixed. Half his basement was poured concrete and the other half was block foundation. As he asked around for help, he came across MidAmerica Basement Systems. During his inspection he was offered a solution for both areas of his basement. A full perimeter WaterGuard system was offered to help collect any seeping water and to redirect it to a TripleSafe sump pump. For the block foundation portion, CleanSpace was installed due to the creation of weep holes in the block, preventing the water from missing the WaterGuard system.

Libby was noticing damp concrete floor in her basement, growing her concern. Before it could get worse, she contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her issue looked at. She was offered a WaterGuard and TripleSafe system to keep the basement dry. WaterGuard helps collect and redirect the water, keeping it from surfacing. Water is than discharged out the basement from the TripleSafe. Libby no longer has issues with damp areas along the floor thanks to her new waterproofing system.

High moisture levels were leaving the basement damp, allowing mold to grow. With the help from MidAmerica Basement Systems, the crawlspace was encapsulated. SilverGlo insulation was installed around the walls of the crawlspace to make the area more energy efficient. CleanSpace Liner was then installed to provide a moisture barrier from the exposed ground. CleanSpace is a thick, pool-like, liner offering a tear and puncture resistant solution to permanent solution for a vapor barrier. Moisture is no longer an issue for the crawlspace or rest of the home thanks to CleanSpace.

Amy and Aaron were looking to sell their home and were concerned about their unlevel and sinking driveway. The decided that leveling the concrete would help increase the property value and contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems for a solution. Cole offered the solution of PolyLevel to lift the sinking concrete. The lightweight, fast curing solution provides an accurate and precise lift. Once PolyLevel is injected under the concrete, the material expands to fill voids, and lift the slabs. The quick cure time also allows for the lifting process to take as little as a day, preventing market-setback for Amy and Aaron. With a newly leveled and stable driveway, the couple can continue the process of putting their home on the market.

Jeremy has always had water issues in his basement, but when large amounts a rain came, his basement received large amounts of standing water. He finally made a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement waterproofed. Design specialist, Dan, suggested installing a WaterGuard and TripleSafe system. WaterGuard would help collect any water that would seep into Jeremy’s basement, preventing it from surfacing, and directing it to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe discharges any water the enters the home, and it even provides the security of working during power outages so he never has to worry of a wet basement again.

Bowing walls left untreated can lead to serious matters such as leaking and unstable foundation. For Deena, she quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems before her issue became worse. PowerBraces and CarbonArmor were strategically placed along the floor joist systems of the home to ensure proper stabilization and weight distribution of the home. PowerBraces are an I-Beam system that stops walls from bowing and offers the ability to straighten the wall back to its original state over time. CarbonArmor permanently stabilizes bowing foundation walls, stopping them from worsening. Both systems stop walls from worsening, and can help keep a basement dry if caught early enough. Deena has a stable home that will last as long as her home does.

Christina G., an East Peoria, IL resident called MidAmerica Basement Sytems because water was getting in at the bottom of the wall in her basement. Christina met with design specialist Dan Garner. Dan helped Christina design a basement waterproofing system that would keep water out of her basement.

Andrew B., and East Peoria homeowner, called MidAmerica Basement Systems because water and sediment were coming in through the walls, causing the painted walls to bubble. Andrew met with design specialist Dan Garner, and Dan investigated the inside and outside of the home.

Rachel P. is the owner of this East Peoria basement. She was concerned about the condition of her foundation walls and so had several companies come out to assess the situation and after much consideration decided to go with the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Justin Bailey was the lead foreman and headed the charge to install the patented wall system, PowerBrace. The PowerBrace has a system that allows for tightening which means that it can actually improve the condition of the wall over time. Zinc coating makes the PowerBrace resistant to corrosion, making it long lasting.

MidAmerica is honored to have been chosen to resolve Rachel's structural problems!

Michael and Shirley were having a water problem on one side of their home and wanted to see if it could be fixed. They also wanted to replace their existing windows with some type of window well. They were referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free estimate on their basement.

After a short phone call, an appointment was set up with Mark Kurtz to come evaluate the basement. Mark decided the best solution for their specific problem was to install a SuperSump pumping system and WaterGuard around the wall with the water issue. The SuperSump pumping system will pump any water up and away from the home. The WaterGuard will direct the water to the SuperSump to be pumped out. Mark also showed them the SunHouse window well, which will allow more sunlight in the basement but also keep the water out. They loved the idea of the SunHouse.

Michael and Shirley are very happy with the work done by MidAmerica Basement Systems. They now have a bright and dry living space downstairs.
