Water coming into a basement is a problem that a lot of homeowners have been dealing with this season due to the excessive rain and flooding. There is a fix to this issue that will put your mind at ease, a basement waterproofing system! A homeowner in Davenport, IA had water coming into their basement and came across an ad for MidAmerica Basement Systems and called us right away to get a quote from a Design Specialist. A TripleSafe Sump Pump System, WaterGuard, and TheremalDry Wall System were installed within this homeowner's home.

A TripleSafe Sump Pump System is the world's most reliable sump pump system. The system is designed with three pumps to assure your basement will stay dry if a problem arises. There are three problems that could happen with a sump pump system and the TripleSafe will be able to handle any of those. The first problem that could arise is if the first pump fails the second pump will be able to take over and continue to pump the water out of the basement. The second is if the first pump cannot handle the large volume of water coming in the second pump will be able to help pump the water out. The last is if the power would happen to go out the third pump is fully battery-operated and will be able to continue to pump the water out via battery.

Water has been entering this homeowner's home in Davenport, IA. This has been an on-going issue for a while now and they needed an effective and reliable fix. They looked online to come across the experts in the industry, MidAmerica Basement Systems, and the homeowner gave us a call right away! We were able to have a Design Specialist out to their home to give them a free, no-obligation estimate. The Design Specialist was able to recommend a full perimeter waterproofing system. The installer, Richard and his team were able to come out and install the system within this homeowner's home.

WaterGuard is effective and reliable to keep water out of your basement. As water enters your basement around the perimeter, the system will collect it through the special wall flange and will drain it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System to be pumped out of the basement. It is also designed to not sit within the dirt so dirt and debris cannot get caught within the system. The system works with all foundation types. It is even designed with a removable cover port that is able to be used for inspections or a continuous dehumidifer drain.

Having WaterGuard installed within this homeowners house put a lot of worries to rest. Whenever it rains their first thing is to not go check on their basement to make sure water has not got into it. Their basement is safe thanks to their new waterproofing system and the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team.

Don't let faulty gutters cause problems like basement flooding, landscape erosion, or foundation issues!

If you're looking for new gutters, Gutter Shutter is the clear choice!

Radon is essentially gas that seeps up from the earth and can find it's way into homes. If the Radon levels are high, it can pose a hazardous living environment for the homeowner. The most susceptible homes are those with crawl spaces and basements that are not properly ventilated. MidAmerica Basement Sytems has the solution: a Radon mitigation system that carries the harmful gas out of homes. 

The homeowner of the Davenport basement wanted to start finishing the basement. The homeowner noticed water intrusion in the space and knew they had to waterproof the space before completely finishing it so the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems was called. The team installed WaterGuard around the perimeter to drain wall leaks into the system and away from the foundation floor. ThermalDry flooring was installed on the cold, damp foundation foor. ThermalDry is made of all-inorganic materials making it resistant to water damage and mold growth. The small pegs on the bottom of the tiles allow for air flow to avoid trapped water vapor that can cause odors. The homeowner chose to go with the warm Parquet style ThermalDry flooring which gives the appearance of wood without the concerns that accompany wood floors in basements (water damage, mold, decay). 

The walls were insulated with Basement to Beautiful wall panels. The panels are a 2 1/2" thick graphite infused foam insulation that will not absorb moisture, allows for wall leaks to drain to WaterGuard and has built in chases for electrical wiring. Basement to Beautiful panels are a vapor barrier and provide excellent insulation. The EnergyStar rated dehumidifying and air filtration unit was also installed to keep the space fresh and healthy. 

The homeowner has a basement that has already made a huge improvement. The space is warmer, inviting and feels great!
