Your Dependable Hampton, IL Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Experts

Untreated crawlspaces can cause many issues to the rest of your home. For homeowner Kay, mold was becoming an issue in her crawlspace. With an untreated crawlspace, moisture can enter into the area, helping in the aid of mold growth. MidAmerica Basement Systems offered Kay a total crawlspace encapsulation by installing a thick liner called CleanSpace. CleanSpace lines the dirt floors of the crawlspace, creating a moisture barrier, and reducing the growth of mold. A SmartSump was installed to discharge any moisture that entered the crawlspace, keeping the area dry. With the CleanSpace liner providing a seal from the cold, damp ground, the humidity in Kay’s crawlspace dropped significantly, preventing the mold from growing any more. 

Louis and Janice were having Radon levels reaching as high as 7.7 pCi/L, putting them in a need of a Radon Mitigation System. Radon Mitigation Specialists, Bill Wilcox, quickly got to work installing the system. Because there was an active sump pump, Bill was able to use the pit as the main suction source. The Sump Pit Depressurization tactic allows for the mitigation system to withdraw the Radon gas out from under the foundation without creating another hole in the floor. After the pipe system is directed through the home and to the outside, an Eagle fan is attached to create the pull of the gas out of the home. In one week, Radon levels decreased significantly, and will continue to decrease, providing safer air for Louis and Janice to breathe.

Doug was concerned about the foundation crack along his basement wall. Every time it would rain, water would enter in through the crack. To address the issue, he contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. A FlexiSpan Crack Sealant was applied to the foundation crack. Due to the high-viscosity polyurethane polymer mixture, the seal is a durable, flexible hold. It penetrates deep into the crack, creating a waterproof seal, that shrinks and expands during the frost and thaw stages of the ground. FlexiSpan will never crack or dry out, providing a permanent water proof solution for the foundation crack. Doug doesn’t have to worry when it rains now.
