Stan and Cindy T. had been dealing with water issues in their basement for a while and were fed up with it. They decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call for help and a free estimate.

Soon after giving them a call, an appointment was set up with Joe Sarb to come take a look at their water issue. Joe concluded that the best solution for their particular basement was to install a TripleSafe pumping system, SaniDryXP dehumidifier, BrightWall, and a full perimeter of WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a channeling system that takes the water from the basement to the TripleSafe. The Triple Safe is the best in the business when it comes to getting water out of the home. It has three pumps and gets all the water up, out, and away from the home. The BrightWall is just one of the walling products offered and is a great way to give the basement a finished look, while also collecting any water from the wall an directing it toward the WaterGuard. Finally the SaniDryXP is not only a large dehumidifier, but also an air purifier that will accommodate the entire area of the basement.

Stan and Cindy T. are extremely pleased with the work MidAmerica Basement Systems has done. Their basement is now worry free and will be for a very long time.

This basement in Clinton belongs to homeowners Kevin and Stephanie B. The first time the homeowners reached out to MidAmerica basement Systems, they had the team come out and waterproof their basement. Their basement stayed dry even after heavy rain season! The homeowners then began to notice their foundation walls beginning to bow. The water surrounding the basement created hydrostatic pressure which pushed against the foundation walls, compromising the integrity of the walls. Pleased with the work MidAmerica Basement Systems provided the first time, Kevin and Stephanie B. called on the experts again, this time to stabilize their foundation walls.

The Design Specialist sent to inspect the condition of the walls and provide a solution, found that the walls did need stabilizing but also found that some of the walls had the potential to be "straightened" over time. Thrilled with the news that not only will their foundation walls be secured, but some of the walls condition could actually improve, Kevin and Stephanie gave the thumbs up!

To stabilize the foundation walls that were of special concern, the experts installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor system. This system is made of galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out away from the foundation wall. They are then connected to steel wall plates with galvanized steel rods. Once installed, wall anchors securely hold walls in their current position. The best part is during the dry season, when the anchors can be tightened to allow for improvement.

Now the team turned the focus onto the walls that just needed stabilization. CarbonArmor is a very high tensile material that is epoxied to walls to keep them from bending or bowing inward. CarbonArmor is the only carbon fiber product designed to code so it the best choice for reinforcing foundation walls. Considering that CarbonArmor is stronger than concrete and steel but also has a low profile design makes CarbonArmor a favorite among homeowners.

Kevin and Stephanie now have both a dry and stable basement! MidAmerica are grateful for the homeowners continued business and loyalty.

Marsha is the homeowner of this Bellevue basement and was concerned with water coming into her basement. She was unsure where the water was coming from.

MidAmerica sent Joe Sarb out to inspect the home and explain the best solutions for Marsha's problems. Leading the MidAmerica team, was lead foreman Mike Clementz.

The team installed the patented 3 in 1 TripleSafe sump pumping system. The TripleSafe sump pump is a patented unit that comes equipped with the Waterwatch alarm system. The WaterWatch will warn Marsha if there is a problem which is also triggered if the UltruSump battery back-up system is activated. The UltraSump is the 3rd pump in the TripleSafe system which is designed to switch on in the event of a power outage. The team also installed the UltraSump Battery Switcher, which acts as a second battery to extend the battery pumping time.

Marsha's walls were waterproofed with CleanSpace Liner. An incredibly durable material comprised of 12 mil plastic infused with an antimicrobial additive, called UltraFresh, which wards off mold and bacteria. The CleanSpace is secured into a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard. WaterGuard is installed to direct leaks away from Marsha's basement floors to the TripleSafe sump pump.

Phyllis is the homeowner of this basement in Clinton and she was battling a lot of water problems. Phyllis expressed having water entering into the basement from different areas, sometimes water would come in from the front of the house and other times it seemed like the water was coming from underneath the floor. Not too sure on how to resolve the problem, Phyllis called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems for options on waterproofing. Mac, a MidAmerica expert, was sent and provided Phyllis with reliable solutions.

With Mike as lead foreman on the project, the first issue the team tackled was water removal. The team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The 3 in 1 pumping system comes with all the bells and whistles one would want from a sump pump, literally. The TripleSafe is equipped with the WaterWatch alarm system that will alert Phyllis of any problems that may arise.

To address water coming in from the walls, the team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a waterproofing system that is designed to drain water leaks to the TriplSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard is designed not to clog and doesn't rely on a fabric filter.

To fix water coming in from the floor, the team installed ThermalDry flooring. ThermalDry has raised pegs so that water will run underneath the floor and is directed to the TripleSafe sump pump. ThermalDry is designed as a water barrier and is made of non-organic materials which means it will never rot or allow for mold/bacteria growth.

To prevent leaks from frozen pipes, the experts installed IceGuard. IceGuard prevents flooding from frozen pipes by ejecting water away from the foundation walls. Phyllis is relieved to not have to fret when a it rains and MidAmerica is proud to have provided Phyllis with peace of mind.

The owner of this Clinton basement is Patricia K, who called MidAmerica Basement Systems because she wanted to stop water from entering her home. The basement has sustained water damage and Patricia wanted someone to explain her options as well as prices. MidAmerica sent an expert and Patricia was soon informed on her options and how much suggested system would cost. The MidAmerica team began working on the space starting with further water damage prevention by installing the TripleSafe. The 3 in 1 sump pumping system is equipped with the WaterWatch which is an alarm designed to alert Patricia in case a problem emerges.

The team installed the WaterGuard system to redirect leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. The basement walls were lined with CleanSpace liners which is durable enough to resist tears and punctures but flexible enough to encapsulate stone walls. The CleanSpace liner acts as a vapor barrier and is mold/bacteria resistant.

Patricia's basement is unrecognizable! MidAmerica is happy to serve and protect another family by providing a dryer, healthier basement!
