Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this basement in Urbana, IA called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems because she was concerned about water coming into her basement. The team came out to her residence and installed our patented products SuperSump pump, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace. Now the homeowner has a cleaner, dryer and brighter basement!

Steve and Susie had their basement waterproofed in 2010 and were so happy to have a dry basement they wanted to finish it. MidAmerica Basement Systems went and installed the patented Thermal Dry Flooring to help give that finished basement look. Steve and Susie are very happy with the flooring and could not be more pleased with their dry basement.

Judy was having concerns with a wet basement that was causing mold in the rec room area. When experts from MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived to Judy’s home, it was issued that the foundation was leaking and portions of the drywall has been affected by mold. After portions of the drywall were removed, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement. Water collects in the WaterGuard, preventing it from surfacing to the floor, and redirecting it to a TripleSafe sump. Once the basement is waterproofed, EverLast Wall Panels are installed to help finish and repair the damaged walls. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to keep humidity levels down, and prevent future mold growth.

Helical Piers are designed to attempt to lift the home back to its original position. It is a solution that causes minimal disturbance and yet is more effective than other solutions. The experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems install the pier system from the exterior or interior of the home. Helical Piers are effective at closing cracks caused by settlement which improves the operation of doors and windows.

First, soil is removed from the area where the Helical Piers will be installed, and then sections are advanced into the soil. Once proper depth is achieved, heavy-duty foundation brackets are positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the Helical Piers to deep, competent soils, lifting the home back to its proper place.

Dennis had built his home over 23 years ago and had properly installed a successful drainage and sump system. One day he noticed a leak on his finished carpeted basement floor. He invested to find a foundation crack behind the drywall. He quickly searched for a repair company and found MidAmerica Basement Systems. Adao Natario, project engineer, was sent out to service Dennis’ home. The installation of Flexispan provided a waterproof sealant to prevent further water leakage in the crack. Flexispan is a polyurethane sealant that seeps deep into the crack, forming a durable, flexible seal. Thanks to the help of Adao and MidAmerica Basement Systems, Dennis can continue enjoying his finished basement.
