Before & After Photos

Replacing a standard old window with a new egress window will allow a second escape in-case of an emergency in the basement level of this home.

What was once an empty space, is now the most important area in this Cedar Falls basement. The TripleSafe sump pump can easily pump out 12,000 gallons of water, which will come in quite handy in the event of a major leak/flood. This 3 in 1 pumping system comes equipped with a battery operated back-up pump for those moments when the power goes out, which is common during big storms. Among all these great features, the WaterWatch alarm system is in place to warn the owners of any issues. The owners will know of any problem and can address it before the problem worsens.

The owner of this crawl space in Cedar Falls wanted to enhance the crawl space and decided to give MidAmerica basement systems a call. Mac Mcdaniel was the expert called to go to their home and was able to assess that the crawl space needed to be waterproofed and needed a drain system in case of a flood due to a pipe bursting or any other circumstance. Mac was able to provide a quote for the owner on the cost of the project the same day for free!

The owner understood what needed to be done and with the owner's approval, Mike Clementz and the MidAmerica Team was able to get to work installing a SmartDrain waterproofing system. SmartDrain allows water to go down but does not allow damp air to rise. The SmartDrain also comes equipped with a WaterWatch alarm system that alerts the owner of interior leaks. 

The team then lined the space with the CleanSpace liner, a waterproofing, mold/bacteria fighting, tear resisting material perfect for encapsulating damp, dark crawl spaces. CleanSpace liners come in a crisp white color that dramatically brightens the area making it a space that is brighter, dryer and healthier.

Robert of Cedar Falls wanted to make some upgrades to his basement and he decided that one of the best ways to achieve this was to install a bigger window system in place of his smaller, dingy window. He called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems and they installed the wonderfully bright and efficient ScapeWEL egress system. 

The homeowner of the damp basement called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems to further waterproof their basement. The team installed WaterGuard as the perimeter drainage system and installed CleanSpace liners to the foundation walls. These two patented systems together will redirect walls leaks and rising ground water to the local sump pump. Now the homeowner has a dryer basement!
