Your Reliable Mapleton, IL Radon Experts

Recently, a homeowner in Mapleton, IL discovered a troubling issue: water was sneaking its way into their basement, undermining the comfort and safety of their home. Knowing that ignoring the problem would only lead to bigger issues down the line, they reached out to us at MidAmerica Basement Systems for assistance. Despite having an existing sump pump, the system was unable to keep up with the influx of water, leaving the homeowner in a soggy predicament. Upon the homeowner's request, our Customer Care team swiftly swung into action, scheduling a detailed home inspection to understand the root of the problem. Our System Design Specialist arrived on-site, inspecting every nook and cranny of the basement to ensure a fail-proof solution could be devised. Armed with comprehensive insights, our specialist recommended the installation of WaterGuard, a cutting-edge interior drainage system designed to expertly capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. The solution for this Mapleton home was clear—to integrate WaterGuard with the already functioning sump pump for an unbeatable water-eviction duo. Our skilled production team wasted no time, efficiently installing the system and tying it seamlessly into the existing sump pump pit. The beauty of WaterGuard lies in its ability to remain virtually invisible once installed, collecting water without any signs of disruption to the basement's appearance or usage. Post-installation, the homeowner's basement transformation was profound. The once persistent puddles and moisture issues were no longer in sight. Relieved and satisfied, the homeowner could now enjoy a dry, comfortable basement once again. It was a remarkable turnaround that not only solved the immediate water issue but also bolstered the home’s integrity against future water threats. 

One night during many days of rain, Gary’s pump had quit working, leaving his basement flooded.  He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a new sump installed. While his situation was being inspected, it was noted that the pump was too small to accompany the amount of water that was entering his basement. Gary was offered a new TripleSafe sump to accommodate the entering water, and prevent over working of the pump and reducing over-use of the new pump. The TripleSafe sump also offers a battery back-up to ensure the water will still be pumped out of the basement during pump failures and power outages.
