Before & After Photos

In Wataga, IL, we tackled this unruly guest head-on. System Design Specialist Michael Chezum mapped out the perfect battle plan, drawing up a custom CleanSpace System to save the day.

When it came time for execution, Foreman Jacob Oetzman and his rock-star crew—Jose, Antonio, and Colby—stepped in to do the heavy lifting. Our trusty products like SmartDrain, CleanSpace, Wrap Piers, and Drainage Matting swooped in to rescue the space.

The after photo paints a brighter tone, putting to rest all worries of moisture and mold creeping upstairs. Our mission? To provide a safe, dry home—and thanks to Michael, Jacob, and the crew, we nailed it!

In the heart of Asbury, IA, a homeowner fell in love with a promising house, but its potential as a dream space was hindered by a damp, clammy basement. As you can see in the before photo, the moisture issues were hard to ignore. We installed our topnotch WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and SaniDry Sedona system, along with CleanSpace for lifelong results. In the after photo, you’ll see how the seal of approval we’ve engineered keeps it snug and inviting. Now this home is teeming with opportunities, awaiting cozy family movie nights or friendly gatherings in true dry basement style.

Water can get in through the foundation walls of your basement and there is a way to stop the water from coming in this way, CleanSpace. This was happening to a homeowner's home in Dubuque, IA. CleanSpace was installed within the homeowner's home to create a barrier to stop water from coming into their home through the basement walls.

CleanSpace is a bright white, clean, durable vapor barrier for basement walls. It is a permanent installation that is installed with permanent drilled-in fasteners. Its job is to stop water leaks from spreading throughout walls and will drain the water leakage. It has a washable surface so if anything would happen to get on it, it can be washed off. It can conform to any type of walls such as bumpy and stone walls.

The homeowner's basement is now dry with no worry in mind about water getting back in through the basement walls.

In Silvis, IL, a homeowner faced growing concerns about structural stability and potential health risks due to their damp, mold-prone crawl space. Recognizing the dangers of unsealed below-grade spaces, they looked for a definitive solution to protect their home and family.

To address these concerns, our salesperson, Kevin O'Neill, designed a comprehensive moisture-control plan tailored specifically to the home's needs. Our skilled production crew, consisting of Devin B, Nathan B, and JB, then stepped in to execute the transformation.

The team began by laying down specialized Drainage Matting directly over the dirt floor to prevent water from pooling beneath the barrier. Next, they completely sealed the space using our premier CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This durable, vibrant white liner completely isolates the home from the earth, stopping moisture vapor from rising into the structure.

As shown in the after photo, these systems deliver robust protection by effectively eliminating the damp conditions common in unsealed crawl spaces. The encapsulation stops further damage from moisture, ensuring a healthier living environment by preventing the growth of mold and mildew. If you are dealing with a damp crawl space or musty odors in your home, explore the reliable crawl space encapsulation products on our website and let MidAmerica Basement Systems bring definitive stability to your property.
