Your Leading Fayette County, IA Wet Basement & Structural Repair Company

Warren F. of Oelwein, IA wanted to finish his basement, so he decided to give the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. He met with design specialist Joe Sarb who helped Warren custom design a solution for his basement space. Warren chose from multiple flooring finishes, wall types and other key design components to prepare his basement to beautiful.

Before the basement could be finished, however, Joe advised taking care of waterproofing concerns and installing full perimeter WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a superior patented sub-floor drainage system. Now, Warren's basement is dry, and he's excited to see his finished basement in the near future!

Bethany of Hawkeye, IA reached out to design specialist Joe Sarb because she wanted to get her basement waterproofed. She met with Joe, and he conducted a thorough investigation of her home before providing her with a written estimate of what it would take to waterproof her home.

Joe recommended installing full perimeter WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and a buried discharge line. He also suggested EverLast Wall Restoration. Kyle McCarty and his team installed the work, and now, the basement is dry and ready to be finished with Total Basement Finishing! Bethany can't wait for the next step of her project. 

Warren uses his basement as a storage room and recently noticed that his basement was leaking, posing threat to his belongings. He quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed. During assessment, specialist Joe suggested installing SuperSump pump. Thanks to the new SuperSump, Warren has the opportunity to finish his basement without worrying of it leaking and ruining his home.

Dennis was having issues with water seeping in through his block foundation and surfacing to the floor, rather than reaching his sump pump. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his sump pump replaced. During his inspection it was addressed that his current sump pump was working just fine. It was proposed installing CleanSpace and WaterGuard to increase the effectiveness of his current system. CleanSpace was applied to the walls to prevent moisture from entering the basement, and guide the moisture to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard collects moisture and water that enters in the basement, and directs it to the sump pump to be properly discharged from the home. Dennis now has an effective and efficient waterproofing system in his basement.

Maureen always dreaded flood season because she lived by the river, and would constantly have a flooded basement. She decided that enough was enough and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist, Bryan, was gladly to help find a permanent solution to her flooding basement. He offered WaterGuard to be placed around the perimeter of the basement to collect any water that would seep in, and redirect it to a TripleSafe sump. Due to the amount of water that would seep into the basement, it was also suggested that two TripleSafes be installed to accommodate for the amount of water that would seep into the basement. The TripleSafe sumps also offer a battery back-up system that will continue to discharge water if the power ever fails to help Maureen stay at ease.

It was offered that she have a new SuperSump installed to replace the useless one. With a new SuperSump, Kelli no longer worries about a failing pump in her basement, keeping it dry.

Jim was getting ready to finish his basement when he realized a slight bow in the foundation. He quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue resolved. He was offered a CarbonArmor system to permanently stabilize the wall, and prevent it from worsen. CarbonArmor are strips infused with carbon fibers that are flexible to adhere and contour to the wall. The unique design is 10 times stronger than steel when applied with the epoxy and because the CarbonArmor is so thin, Jim will not have to worry about installing the drywall overtop the foundation stabilizing system.

Judy was very upset due to her drywall becoming ruined from a leak in her basement. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the basement waterproofed but was still concerned about finishing her basement.

After the walls were removed, WaterGuard and TripleSafe sumps were installed to properly dispose any water that may seep into the basement. A SaniDry Sedona was then installed to control moisture and humidity levels to help protect the unaffected drywall. EverLast Wall Panels were finally installed to replace the damaged and affected drywall. EverLast Walls offer a waterproof panel that will not be damaged if water or moisture are to come in contact with it. Judy can now rest assure her finished basement will stay dry.

They reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their basement waterproofed. CleanSpace was installed along the foundation walls to prevent any moisture damaged to any drywall that may be installed down the road, and to keep moisture levels down. WaterGuard was placed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any seeping water to redirect it to a TripleSafe sump to be properly discharged from the basement. Now Tammy and Jeff have a proper waterproofing system for a finished basement.
