Dennis and Shonda have lived in their home for over 15 years. When they were having water in their crawlspace they called MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Homeowner was experiencing water intrusion where the foundation walls meet the floor and through cracks in the floor. She called the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team sent an expert out to inspect the home and provide a free estimate within the same day. Excited about having these problems fixed, the team began the project.

To address water coming in from the perimeter, the team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is designed to drain wall leaks and rising ground water from the perimeter into the new SuperSump, which comes with special features that make it stand out among other sump pump systems such as a perforated and durable liner that allows ground water to drain into the unit, an airtight lid that allows water to drain into the unit but prevents water vapor to rise, and a WaterWatch alarm that will alert Amy if there are any problems.

The team constructed a discharge line that allowed water to be pumped to the LawnScape away from the home. To further protect Amy's basement during the cold winter months, the team installed IceGuard which is designed to eject water away from the foundation walls if a pipe freezes, preventing flooding.

MidAmerica has provided a better equipped basement for the rainy and cold season!

Leaking wall crack in Peoria, IL

Don't let your basement turn into an unsightly, water-ridden space.

With a population of around 115,000, Peoria is the largest city along the Illinois River. Because of its humid continental climate, Peoria experiences snowy winters, heavy rain in the spring, and humidity and more rain in the summer. These weather conditions create plenty of opportunities for water to infiltrate your property's soil and cause basement or crawl space water problems.

In business since 1990, MidAmerica Basement Systems is an experienced basement waterproofing and foundation repair company serving homeowners in and around Peoria. On top of providing exceptional services to restore wet basements and crawl spaces, one of our goals is to educate homeowners about their basements. Knowing the potential causes and signs of leaks or floods can help prevent future problems and let you know when it's time to call in a professional.

Signs of a basement waterproofing problem

  • Wet or damp basement floor
  • Leaking or damp basement walls
  • Pooling or standing water
  • Crystaline deposit on concrete surfaces
  • Musty odors
  • Condensation
  • Sump pump issues
  • Leaky basement windows

As a homeowner, you might think that a little water in your basement is nothing compared to all of the other things you have to worry about. But waterproofing your basement properly is necessary to protect your home from mold growth and rot and to give you dry, usable, valuable space in your basement. MidAmerica Basement Systems can install a warrantied, patented interior drainage system attached to a high-volume sump pump. Any water that enters your basement or crawl space is pumped safely away from the home.

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Peoria, IL

Waterproofing your basement prevents outside water from coming in but what if a pipe bursts or the water heater leaks inside the home.

Our Products Include :
  • Waterproof, washable, insulated walls           
  • Mold-Resistant, No-Sag suspended ceiling
  • Modular carpet, tile & faux wood flooring

  • Energy-efficient, double-paned basement windows

Sinking, Cracking Driveway is Lifted and Raised with PolyLevel in Peoria, IL

Over the years Dennis’ driveway had begun to sink, causing the concrete to buckle and crack under the weight. It had caused very many eye sores and he was unsure if there was any way to fix the issue without re-pouring an entire new driveway.

Appling the NexusPro Joint Sealant is then applied to the cracks, offering a permanent seal from water, increasing the longevity of the lifted areas and helping prevent future sinking of untreated areas.

Supporting Shifting Foundation for Peoria, IL Home

Kirk’s basement foundation is constructed of concrete blocks, and being built on a hill, was causing large foundation failure. The blocks had begun to shift, leaving large gaps and an unsafe foundation for the home. MidAmerica Basement Systems specialist, Mac, suggested installing a PowerBrace system to stop the blocks from shifting, and permanently stabilize his home. Using the wooden floor joist system, PowerBraces are strategically places along the joist system to properly and effectively support the failing foundation and distribute the weight of the home evenly. Cross support beams were placed along the PowerBrace system to address the blocks that had shifted inward, offering more stability for the home.

Returning customer, Max S. of Peoria, had new issues come about in his home. He was pleased with his previous work from MidAmerica Basement System so called for more help with his home. Water and Radon were leaking into his basement and needed to be fixed properly, and soon.

The Crew got right to work in installing the Radon Mitigation and waterproofing systems. The waterproofing system was installed, using WaterGuard piping and CleanSpace liner to direct the water to the TripleSafe Sump pump. Then, the Radon Mitigation system was connected to the sump pump pit, which created a sealed, suction channel that forces Radon through the system to properly discharge from the home, without seepage. Max is again, a very pleased customer.

Basement Brightened in East Peoria

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.

Water Disturbance in a Peoria Basement

Barbara M. has had a water problem in her basement for a while and she was tired of dealing with it. She was referred by an employee to get a free estimate from MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Dan Garner, a system design specialist, at MidAmerica Basement Systems was sent to diagnose the water problem in the basement. Dan decided the best solution for the water problem was to have a TripleSafe and SuperSump pumping systems installed, along with a WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is a drainage channel that will lead the water to either the TripleSafe or SuperSump pumping systems, where it will be pumped out away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed in the basement.

Barbara M. now has a dry basement and could not be happier. She no longer has the worry of going to sleep or leaving her home and wondering if the basement will be dry.
