Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Taylor Ridge IL

Virginia was constantly having issues with water seeping into her basement from all areas throughout the floor. Fed up with her situation, Virginia reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her basement inspected. Water seepage was noted along the floor and wall joint, and a WaterGuard system was offered as a solution. WaterGuard is a patented drainage tile that collects seeping water and redirects it to a sump system. A TripleSafe sump was then installed to properly discharge the seeping water. Virginia no longer has an issue with water seeping into her basement.

Because of the peg-raised system, moisture and water can flow underneath with ease. ThermalDry Flooring is completely made of inorganic materials, preventing any mold or mildew growth, leaving it the ideal flooring solution for the basement atmosphere.

Keith, the homeowner of this basement, decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call when he discovered a lot of water coming in at the bottom of his block foundation. The team sent out Joe Sarb to inspect the foundation and within the same day, Joe was able to suggest a solution and the cost to address the issues to Keith. Justin Bailey was the lead foreman leading the team. The team replaced Keith's old sump pump with the patented TripleSafe sump pump. There were issues with Keith's old sump pumping system making it inadequate for the job intended. The most apparent difference between the two, is the old sump pump did not have a lid and the TripleSafe does. With the right lid, the TripleSafe is guarded from debris that may fall in and clog/disrupt the system. Also the TripleSafe lid is airtight, this allows water to go down into the drain but does not allow damp, musty, humid air from escaping. The lid for the TripleSafe is also equipped with the WaterWatch alarm system set to alert Keith of any issues. The TripleSafe also comes with 3 pumps in 1. The 3rd pump is the UltraSump, which is the battery back-up pump that activates when the power goes out.

The team installed the WaterGuard around the perimeter. WaterGuard is a specially-designed interior piping system. The big difference between WaterGuard and other traditional piping systems is that WaterGuard sits on top of the foundation footing, which is critical to avoid clogging leading to floods. WaterGuard also has a 3/8 gap to redirect wall leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump.
