Basement Waterproofing Seals the Deal for New Homebuyer in Sterling, IL

Challenge

Sandy was looking to sell her home, but knew there was a water issue in the basement. She wasn’t going to fix the issue, she didn’t see the need to spend the money towards the home if she was no longer going to be living there. Many people looked and had interest in the home, but all turned away due to the water issue. Heavy rains came and caused major issues in the basement. Water began seeping in from all cracks and joints on the floor. There was no way that she was going to sell the home now.

Solution

Interested homebuyer, Ethan mentioned to Sandy that if she had the basement water proofed that he would buy the home. He suggested that MidAmerica Basement Systems have free estimates so Sandy has an idea of what it would cost to have the basement waterproofed. Design specialist Mac, inspected the basement, addressing all the leaking areas. WaterGuard and LateralDrains were offered to be installed, so any seeping water would be collected and redirected to a sump pump. A TripleSafe sump was then proposed to appropriately accommodate the large amounts of water that entered the area. A SaniDry Sedona was also suggested for the basement so the humidity and moisture levels were properly dealt with, helping prevent future mold growth. Ethan is now a happy homeowner that has a complete basement waterproofing system in his new home.
