A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, IA had a sidewalk that leads into the driveway. Over time the sidewalk started to sink down leaving the sidewalk and driveway not evened out. As time continued the sidewalk began to sink more leaving the sidewalk and driveway even more uneven. Now the area has become a tripping hazard and potential falling hazard at the homeowners home.

They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help this homeowner.

There is a solution to cracked, slopping, uneven concrete, and the solution is PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a concrete injection that is injected through the slab to raise it back up. A dime size hole is first drilled into the slab. Next, the lightweight foam is then injected through the hole to lift and expand the concrete back up in a controlled way. Once the concrete is lifted back up the hole is then sealed off and the concrete is once again useable. This will take less time than mud-jacking and involves no disturbance to the concrete and no mud is used at all! The foam is also environmentally friendly and made with recycled materials.

The sidewalk is now leveled back with the driveway and it is no longer a potential hazard in any way. The homeowner no longer worries about their sidewalk and is very pleased that it is back to normal!

Steve will be happy with his egress window, that has now added another legal bedroom to his home, for many years to come. 

Mark and Debra H. of Cedar Rapids had a lot of water coming into their basement during heavy rainstorms. Knowing that no amount of water intrusion is good, and the problem would only get worse, they called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate with a trained design specialist. They met with specialist Dustin Shepard at their Cedar Rapids home to discuss how their basement could stay dry. The solution that Dustin designed would keep the basement dry for many years to come!

Foreman Kyle McCarty and team went to the home to install patented products. Sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard, was installed along with a new SuperSump sump pump, and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Additionally, a trench drain was installed in a particularly problematic area. After the project was completed, Mark and Debra knew they could breathe easy in their now dry basement. 

Laura U. of Cedar Rapids noticed two bowing walls in her basement. She called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to get the walls stabilized. Desing specialist Mike Banks came to identify the solution.

Cracking and sinking slabs around Paul and Nancy C.'s Cedar Rapids home was problematic. The cracked and sinking slabs presented a tripping hazard. The exposed joints allowed weeds to infiltrate, lowering aesthetic value and stressing the concrete. Paul and Nancy called MidAmerica Basement Systems. 

Design specialist Bryan Nachazel proposed using PolyLEVEL to lift the slabs, and Nexus Pro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowners quickly agreed. They were put on the schedule. 

Shortly thereafter, the homeowners have been ecstatic ever since to come home to a beautiful pool deck, restored to its original position. Not to mention, with Nexus Pro, it looks beautiful!

Wisely, she contacted the local basement experts, MidAmerica Basement Systems, and had an appointment with a design specialist in no time. Design specialist Bryan Christopherson helped Sue determine the best solutions for her dingy basement.

The walls were also further protected with patented BrightWall, to give the basement a bright appearance, while also keeping the space dry. Sue is happy to live in a dry home. 

Nevin M. had his radon tested and found out the levels were very high. He called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to help solve the problem with a free in-home estimate.

Dustin Shepard was the design specialist who went out to give the estimate. Dustin decided the best solution was to install a radon mitigation system and a domed sump pump lid. The domed lid covers and seals the sump pit so that none to very little of the moisture can escape. The radon mitigation system will drastically lower the radon and also monitor the current radon level.

Nevin M. is very happy to no longer have to worry about the radon levels in his home. He would recommend MidAmerica Basement Systems to anyone who has radon worries.

Ethel and Raymond B. had a crack in the utility room of their lower level of their home, and they knew to call the local basement experts at MidAmerican Basement Systems.

Rob K. was having a couple different water issues in his basement including water from the exterior of the house and water coming in through the floor. He decided to call in the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free in-home estimate.

After speaking with the office staff, an appointment was set up for Dustin Shepard to come evaluate the basement. After Dustin assessed the basement, he decided the best solution for this particular problem was to have a TripleSafe pumping system, a couple laterals, and a full perimeter of WaterGuard installed. The laterals are a drainage material that is placed through the middle of the basement floor to get any water that comes up through the floor and takes it to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a channeling system around the inside perimeter of the basement and it take the water from the basement to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe pumping system is the best in the business at getting all of the water up, out, and safely away from the home.

Rob K. is very happy to no longer have to worry about water in his basement. He appreciates everything MidAmerica Basement Systems did for him and would recommend them to anyone with a basement issue.

Ashley just purchased this home in Cedar Rapids. The home was built in the 1920's, so Ashley knew her new home may need some TLC. What Ashley didn't know until after it rained, was the substantial problem occurring in her basement. Ashley called MidAmerica Basement Systems about a massive leak that resembled more of a waterfall than a leak. Given that the home was built years ago, there was no way of knowing how long the problem has plagued this basement or how severe the damage was. Ashley called the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and an expert was sent out to the home for a free inspection and estimate.

Once Ashley understood what was happening and what could be done, the MidAmerica team began the plan to restore Ashely's basement. To address the problem of flooding from the amount of water coming in, the TripleSage Sump Pump was installed. With the ability to pump out massive amount of water with its 3 in 1 advanced pumping system, the "waterfall" Ashley described met its match. The basement was then installed with the WaterGuard waterproofing system, which redirects wall leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. The walls were then fitted with BrightWall. BrightWall is not only designed to brighten dark basements by giving it a "finished" look, but also is made of inorganic materials making it resistant to mold.

Now when Ashley goes down to her basement, she no longer worries about leaks or "waterfalls". MidAmerica is proud to have helped to restore this older basement for its newest homeowner!

Tony and Dawn, homeowners of this Cedar Rapids home, really wanted to have a warm, bright and inviting basement. Starting with the windows. They called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems and the expert, Joe Sarb, had the perfect solution that would not only provide Tony and Dawn with everything they wanted (like brightness and warmth) but also the things they needed (like durability and waterproof). Tony and Dawn were excited at the possibilities and soon the MidAmerica got to work.

With Mike Keck leading the team, they began by digging a hole around the exterior ground level window. Then they began enlarging the original window size to fit the new, larger energy efficient StakWel Egress window. To encapsulate the StakWel Egress window, the team installed the SunHouse. A durable window dressing that keeps weed, leaves and rain at bay. The SunHouse has a sturdy, clear lid that allows plenty of natural light in. The SunHouse is also a bright white color which allows light to bounce off and illuminate dark spaces. 

Tony and Dawn are pleased that they have such an aesthetically pleasing, energy efficient, durable window/window dressing and MidAmerica is thrilled to have fulfilled another families basement needs!

This basement in Cedar Rapids is owned by Graig, who noticed the deterioration of his basement and wanted a solution that he could trust to be efficient and reliable. Graig called on the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and requested to have one of our experts come out to his home and assess the problem.

With a greater understanding of what was happening and what can be done (including cost) to remedy Graig's basement troubles, Graig agreed. With Bill Wilcox as Primary Foreman, the team began working on Graig's basement. First, the team installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to alleviate the basement of further flood damage. The TripleSafe sump pump system is powerful enough to pump out at least 12,000 gallons of water (the average size of basements from floor to ceiling) and smart enough to alert Graig if there is ever a problem.

Next, the team addressed water leaks from the foundation walls by installing the WaterGuard system, which is able to re-direct leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the team lined the most evidently damaged foundation walls with none other than the CleanSpace liner wall system. A revolutionary product that is resistant to tears and punctures (so it's long lasting) and is also made with an anti-microbial additive that wards off mold and bacteria growth.

Graig included other exclusive Basement Systems products, such as the IceGuard, which comes to action in the case of a pipe freezing during winter. And the LawnScape well outlet, which is extremely popular for discharge lines on sump pumps to direct water away from the home. Graig can now rest easy knowing that his basement will be dry and healthy.

MidAmerica appreciates Graig's business. The team is happy that they were able to not only help Graig waterproof his basement, but was also able to ensure that Graig got everything he wanted...and nothing he didn't!

Jessica was tired of dealing with water in her basement and having to look at a dreary crawlspace. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems by a past customer to have a free estimate done.

After giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Joe Sarb to come diagnose the basement and crawlspace. Joe decided the best solution for the water issue was to install a TripleSafe pumping system to pump the water out and away from the home. Also, a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system to make sure the water has a way to travel to the pumping system. Finally, BrightWall strips to protect form the water coming in through the walls of the basement. For the crawlspace, Joe proposed encapsulating the entire area with CleanSpace, this will fully encapsulate the crawlspace making it cleaner and nearly impossible for animals to get in. Jessica is very happy with the work MidAmerica Basement Systems did and now has a care free basement.

Jamie was afraid her drain tile would become clogged like it had in the past and she really wanted to finish her basement. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free estimate.

Soon after giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Mike Banks to come evaluate the basement. Mike decided the best solution for the water problem was to install a TripleSafe pumping system and a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system around the basement. The TripleSafe pumping system will keep the basement dry and be able to keep up with any rain storm. The full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system will make sure the water is directed to the pumping system throughout the entire business. Since Jamie also wanted to finish her basement, Mike proposed the Basement to Beautiful panels. These panels are a good look and will keep the water out.

Jamie could not be happier with her decision to have her basement waterproofed by MidAmerica Basement Systems. She no longer has to worry about water coming in her home when it rains.
