Gary was having issues with water coming into his basement, but wasn’t sure where it was coming from. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have is issue inspected. During inspection, Wes Glasgow, design specialist, came to the conclusion that water was seeping in from the old foundation walls, and suggested the installation of CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick liner that provides a sturdy moisture barrier between the wall and rest of the basement. CleanSpace also acts as a water track, directing the moisture to Gary’s waterproofing system.
The homeowner of this crawl space in Cedar Falls wanted to seal the space accordingly. Wanting to make the space dryer and warmer he called the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. To keep the crawl space dry, the team encapsulated the space with thick and durable CleanSpace liner. To keep air from entering and exiting the vents, the team installed vent covers. To make sure that water will not pool in case of a leak, SmartDrain was fitted into the space. To insulate the space -keeping it warm and saving the homeowner lots on utility bills- the team lined the crawl space with SilverGlo panels.

Iris was having an issue of water coming into her basement, but because she had a finished basement, the leak had gone unnoticed until it was too late. The drywall had started to warp and grow mold. Members from MidAmerica Basement Systems installed CleanSpace behind the drywall to provide a moisture barrier between the drywall and foundation wall. CleanSpace is a thick liner that helps prevent water and moisture from entering, while directing it away from the drywall, and into the existing waterproofing system.
Scott was looking to encapsulate his crawlspace but all the offers he had, didn’t provide him a permanently solution. He finally got the answer he was looking for when he spoke with the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was offered a CleanSpace solution that not only permanently seals off the exposed ground from the crawlspace, but provides a liner that won’t tear or puncture. CleanSpace had an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold growth, giving the crawlspace a vapor barrier and leaving the structure of the home safer.
