Photo Album: Water Seepage Fixed in Oregon, IL

Barbara S. from Oregon was searching for solutions to repeated water seepage in her basement, when she came across the team at MidAmerica basement Systems on the internet. The team waterproofed the basement by installing WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, SuperSump pump system and CleanSpace to the basement walls. The MidAmerica Basement Systems team provided Barbara with a dryer, brighter basement!

Basement before Waterproofing

The basement before had repeated water seepage.

Walls Before CleanSpace

Water seepage was especially prevalent where the walls meet the foundation floor.

CleanSpace Installation

The team installs CleanSpace to drain wall leaks.

Old Sump Pump

The old sump pump did not have a cover, needed a more efficient pump and an exit line.

Improving Old Pump

The team improves the previous pump with a more efficient pump.

Preparing For WaterGuard

The team member is working to ensure that the newly constructed perimeter is debris free for the installation of WaterGuard.

New Sump Placement Preparation

This is where the new SuperSump will be installed.

Constructing Perimeter

The team uses various tools to construct the perimeter in preparation for WaterGuard installation.

Prepared Perimeter

The perimeter is now ready for WaterGuard installation.

Perforated Sump Liner

After a hole is constructed, the team places the durable, perforated sump liner to allow ground water seepage

Improved Old Sump Pump

The team constructed a new exit line, replaced the pump with a more efficient one and covered the sump to keep water vapor from rising into the space.

Installing WaterGuard

The team installs WaterGuard on top of the foundation footing to prevent clogs.

Installing WaterGuard With CleanSpace

CleanSPace is securely tucked into WaterGuard to ensure that wall leaks are drained to the drainage system.

Perimeter Almost Finished

The team lays CleanSpace strips on top of the WaterGuard system to protect from the concrete that will be poured to finish the installation.

Preparing SuperSump for Completion

The same CleanSpace system is used around the sump pump.

CleanSpace & WaterGuard

CleanSpace and WaterGuard work in perfect conjunction to keep wall leaks away from the foundation floor.

Improved Sump Pump, WaterGuard & CleanSpace

Improving the old sump pump would not have been enough to keep this basement but with WaterGuard, CleanSpace or SuperSump this basement has much more potential to ward off water intrusion.
