Jean was having a water problem in her basement for a while and decided to call in the experts. She found out that MidAmerica Basement Systems did free estimates through her search on the internet.

After giving the office a call, an appointment was set up with Mac McDaniel to come evaluate the basement. Mac decided the best solution for her water issue was to have a TripleSafe pumping system and a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system installed. The TripleSafe will be most effective because it will take the water out of the home at a higher rate. The full perimeter of WaterGuard will make sure the whole house is secure from any other future water issue.

Jean is extremely happy to have a dry basement and to no longer have to worry about it. She believes MidAmerica Basement Systems is very professional and trustworthy as a basement specialist company.

The MidAmerica Basement Systems team was called by this homeowner in Freeport to address Radon concerns. Radon poses a real threat to homes if the levels are not stabilized. Radon is an indoor air pollutant, which is a colorless, odorless radio-active gas that comes from naturally occurring uranium in soil. Radon is also the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Most Radon is drawn into the home through surrounding soil by way of openings between the house and soil. After the experts at MidAmerica tested the home, they installed the Radon Mitigation system to safeguard the home by keeping Radon levels low. MidAmerica is thrilled to have protected yet another home from this silent threat!

Susan was noticing her concrete sinking near her garage door, leaving the area uneven. When she contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems, it was noted that the reason for the sinking slabs was from water seeping in between the garage foundation and concrete. Once the water would seep down in between, it was causing for the ground to washout underneath, creating large voids. It was offered to have PolyLevel injected to fill the voids and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro Joint Sealant was then applied to the gap between the concrete and garage foundation to prevent future water seepage and sinking concrete.

Jason and Kim could not figure out where the moldy-musty smell was coming from in their home. They called the experts of MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their issue properly appointed.

It was offered to have CleanSpace, SmartSump, a SaniDry Sedona installed to resolve the issue. CleanSpace permanently seals off the exposed ground from the rest of the crawlspace, while the SmartSump pumps the water out of the area. Installing the SaniDry Sedona will keep the moisture levels under control, preventing future mold growth, leaving the air in the home cleaner to breathe.

Gene has several areas of his driveway and sidewalk that were sinking and needed lifting. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. Crewmen injected the PolyLevel solution to lift and stabilize the sunken areas. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam of high-density polymers that fill the voids under the concrete. Once the voids are filled, the polymers expand to lift the slabs, providing a stable ground for the concrete. The PolyLevel provides a precise and accurate lift so under- and over-lifting is avoided. The quick cure time also allows for area access within minutes of application.
