A homeowner in Peoria Heights, IL reached out to us because their crawl space had taken on extreme water, threatening the home's structure. You can see the issue in the before photo, moisture was becoming a serious concern. In the after photo, our CleanSpace vapor barrier and Drainage Matting transformed the space into a dry, clean environment, protecting the foundation. With over 35 years of family-owned experience, we turned this moisture-packed crawl space into a more secure and efficient part of their home.
Betsy was becoming very upset, every time it rained, her basement would become wet even though she had a sump pump. She began questioning if the pump was working and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her issue looked at. It was addressed that there was large leak from the foundation wall that was causing seepage and a wet basement. She was offered a CleanSpace Liner to help reduce the moisture and redirect the water down the wall and into a WaterGuard system. Once the water collected in the WaterGuard, it would then be redirected to the sump pump where it would be discharged instead of collecting and surfacing on her floor.
Emily had an older home with a limestone foundation. During heavy rains, water would seep in through the walls. She didn’t think there was a way to fix her leaking walls until her friend recommended MidAmerica Basement Systems. She was offered a CleanSpace Wall system to create a vapor barrier from the leaking walls. Water would then properly trickle down the wall and into a WaterGuard system to be redirected to a TripleSafe sump. Emily no longer finds visible water after it rains, in her basement.
This new SunHouse enclosure will let more light into the basement and keep the water out - just what the homeowners ordered!
The owner of this dirt crawl space really wanted to revamp the space. They wanted it to be cleaner, healthier and more manageable. After the homeowner was quoted and with the game plan laid out, the MidAmerica team climbed right into the project.
The team fitted the space with a CleanSpace liner. The CleanSpace liner is a one of a kind material that is flexible and yet durable to resist tears and punctures. It acts as a vapor barrier, waterproofing, mold fighting encapsulation system.
The space before was dark, damp, and welcomed pesky house guests. Now the space is clean, bright, waterproofed and the owner is breathing healthy and feeling happy!
