Before & After Photos

Before we stepped in, the crawlspace at the Palmer College townhouses in Davenport, IA, had persistent water and moisture issues which is evident in the before image. Working closely with the needs of the property, we installed our CleanSpace System and two TripleSafe sump pumps, effectively encapsulating and waterproofing the area. Notice the transformation in the after photo, the space is now moisture free and clean, leaving tenants with better air quality and safeguarding the building from future water damage.

Jim S. of Davenport, IA had crawlspace work performed by another company at the beginning of the 2016, but he wasn't happy with the work that had been done. He called MidAmerica Basement Systems for another estimate, and a look into the problem. After meeting with design specialist Mike Banks, Jim S. was ready to get his damp, musty crawlspace encapsulated and dry.

Rob recently moved to a new home and was concerned about the untreated crawlspace. The previous owners had tried to make the area moisture proof by installed foam boards along the wooden joists flooring system. Rob reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to had the area properly sealed. He was offered a CleanSpace encapsulation. CleanSpace is a thick liner that permanently seals off exposed, damp dirt from the rest of the crawlspace. Sealing off the ground with a vapor barrier has significantly improved the efficiency in the home over the foam boards that were originally installed in the crawlspace.

Damp, cold crawlspaces can dramatically damage your home. The wooden floor joists absorb the moisture, causing the floor systems to weaken and rot, while cold, musty air rises into your home, leaving a bad odor and hazardous health conditions. A total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace, allows for the ground to be permanently sealed off from the crawlspace, allowing for the floor systems to stay dry, and keep to cold, musty smells out of the home. CleanSpace is a thick liner, much like a pool liner, that provides durability against rips and tears, and is infused with an antimicrobial material that prevents mold growth.

Josh and Heather have an older home with a block foundation that constantly leaks through the walls. It was making it hard for them to use their basement a storage due to the damp and at times, wet, room. The reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed to collect and discharge the water out of the basement. To address the leaking walls, CleanSpace Liner was installed to help guide the leaking water to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace Liner also creates a moisture barrier for the basement, helping reducing the damp atmosphere and allow for the area to became a storage area for Josh and Heather.
