Before & After Photos

Gail had begun to notice water seeping in through the crawlspace opening, making the basement and crawlspace wet and moldy. He was concerned with the current system that was installed, and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the issue resolved. Design Specialist, Dan, offered the solution of a total crawlspace encapsulation and a basement waterproofing system to keep both areas dry. CleanSpace Matting and Liner were installed in the crawlspace to prevent moisture from seeping in the through the exposed ground, providing a permanent seal for the home. Vent covers and spray foam were added along the crawlspace walls to eliminate moisture from entering and to make the area more energy efficient. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed in the basement portion along the crawlspace wall to discharge water from the crawlspace and to prevent water seepage in the rest of the basement.

Dennis and Shonda have lived in their home for over 15 years. When they were having water in their crawlspace they called MidAmerica Basement Systems. Having water in your crawlspace can lead to mold and structural damage. CleanSpace in a crawlspace can help drain the water and help with the humidity.

This crawl space belongs to a homeowner in Peoria who called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems to encapsulate their crawl space. The team installed drainage matting to the crawl space floor. Drainage matting is a dimpled polyethylene membrane that is installed under the CleanSpace liner (shown in before picture) that allows water to flow to a drain or sump pump. CleanSpace is then installed over the matting and up the crawl space walls to efficiently encapsulate the space. CleanSpace is a very strong material that acts as a vapor/radon barrier and has an antimicrobial additive that resists mold growth. The team also sealed the vent to keep outside air/moisture from entering the crawl space therefor compromising its effectiveness as an encapsulation system. The homeowner has a dryer, healthier crawl space! 

Ian of Peoria, IL called MidAmerica Basement Systems because he wanted a warmer, more energy efficient crawlspace. He also wanted it to be dry. He met with design specialist Dan Garner. Dan custom designed a solution for Ian, including SilverGlo Insulation Panels, and CleanSpace. The space is now warm, bright and dry. 

Moisture in a crawlspace can cause the floor joists to rot, making the floors of your home sag and unsafe. Lynne of Peoria made a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her crawlspace encapsulated from moisture. During installation, crew members installed CleanSpace, CleanSpace drainage matting, and a SmartDrain. The CleanSpace drainage matting acts as a guide for moisture to the SmartDrain, while CleanSpace acts as a seal to prevent humidity from entering the crawlspace. Keeping the crawlspace dry and free of moisture and humidity, the floor joists will stay strong and sturdy, keeping your floors level and safe.
