Before & After Photos

Eric and Lori had a TripleSafe sump installed awhile back by MidAmerica Basement Systems, and during their annual service appointment, it was addressed that water was starting to seep in through the foundation walls. As a result, WaterGuard (drainage tile system) was installed around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard has a small gap at the top of the product that allows water to run down the wall and into the drain tile. Water that enters the drainage system is than directed to the sump pump where it is properly discharged from the home.

In Tripoli, IA, a homeowner struggled with a basement prone to frequent flooding, rendering unusable for much-needed storage space. In the before photo, you can sense the damp and lingering issue. As showcased in the after photo, MidAmerica Basement Systems completely changed that space. Utilizing our WaterGuard system, along with the CleanSpace liner and the reliable TripleSafe sump pump, we turned the once vulnerable spot into a dry and secure area. It's now a perfectly functional space, ready for storage and beyond. 

A Newhall, IA homeowner realized he had a bad radon problem when his test kit came back more than 5x higher than the EPA's recommended safe level. Concerned for his safety, Lyle called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate. He met with design specialist Joe Sarb, and now is breathing clean, safe air.

Every time it would rain, Jen’s garage would become wet, leaving water pooling and puddling. With no place for the water to go, mold started to grow, causing damp and unhealthy conditions. An inspection with Bryan from MidAmerica Basement Systems allowed for the issue to be properly addressed. A TrenchDrain system was installed to collect the water that would enter that garage. There it was properly directed away from the garage, helping keep the garage dry, and preventing the growth of more mold.

A Washington, IA homeowner contacted us eager to remodel their basement into a finished space.
