Your Respected Muscatine, IA Radon Mitigation & Foundation Repair Experts

Recently in Muscatine, IA, a homeowner discovered the unseen alarm of homeownership - water seeping into their basement. Understanding the urgency to protect their home's foundation and indoor environment, they reached out to us at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a solution. Upon contacting our friendly Customer Care team, the homeowner was promptly scheduled for a comprehensive inspection. Here’s where the journey toward a drier, healthier basement began. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, assessed the water intrusion issue detailed, and outlined a customized waterproofing strategy. The proposal was transparent, thorough, and addressed the homeowner's concerns head-on. Our solution? A combination of our proven products: the WaterGuard interior drainage system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the CleanSpace wall system. This trio was at the heart of the problem - and the solution. The WaterGuard system ingeniously collects water entry points around the perimeter of the basement. Coupled with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, with its unprecedented reliability and triple-layer protection, water was pumped out and away from the home safely. Lastly, CleanSpace wall covering was applied, turning the damp basement walls into dry, clean surfaces conducive to a healthier basement space. From start to finish, our dedicated installation team worked meticulously to not just install the systems but also ensure the homeowner was familiar with the function and benefits of each product installed. The cleanup post-installation? As if we’d never been there - only visibly cleaner. The outcome delighted the homeowner for more reasons than one: not only was their basement transformed into a dry, usable space, but they also found reassurance knowing our would endure for years.

Leaking basements are very common and when left unresolved, lead to bigger problems over time. MidAmerica Basement Systems can help stop water from surfacing and damaging your home with a waterproofing system. With the installation of a WaterGuard and TripleSafe systems, you will no longer have to worry of a wet basement. WaterGuard is a patented drainage track to collect water that enters under the home and can also collect water that seeps in through the wall. Once the water is collected in the WaterGuard, it is than directed to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe sump offers three sump pumps; primary, secondary and a battery back-up.

Gerald was having wet basement issues and contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issues resolved. During inspection, it was recommended that Gerald had a SuperSump, WaterGuard, and SaniDry CX installed. WaterGuard would be able to collect the water that was seeping in through the foundation cracks, to be directed to the SuperSump. The SuperSump would then be able to discharge the water from the basement. Installing a SaniDry CX would help control the moisture in the air, leaving the basement air dry rather than damp. Having damp air can allow for mold to grow, making it an unhealthy area to breathe. Now Gerald has a dry basement, keeping his home safe from moisture.

Sunken and cracked concrete is caused by many different things. Wash-outs and ground settlement produce voids under the slabs, producing stress on the slabs. Sometime the slabs sink from the pressure, other times they crack and break into different sections, leaving your driveway full of tripping hazards and an unpleasant appearance. MidAmerica Basement Systems have the perfect solution to lifting and leveling sunken, cracked concrete. The injection of PolyLevel is similar to mudjacking, but provides more advantages. PolyLevel is lightweight, and has a quick dry time. The lightweight material makes filling voids and lifting concrete in the fraction of the time it takes to mudjack. With its quick dry time, accessing the injected area can happen in as little as 15 minutes compared to days is takes to access an area that has used mudjacking. As for PolyLevel vs. concrete replacement, the biggest advantage is cost and time. Don’t settle for waiting days, even weeks on end lifting and leveling concrete, complete the job in as little as a day with PolyLevel.
