Before & After Photos

George had a large, damaging issue of a leaking basement that caused mold growth, and damage to his belongings and the home itself. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue addressed. It was offered installing CleanSpace, BrightWall, WaterGuard, a SaniDry Sedona, and a TripleSafe. The CleanSpace and BrightWall worked together to redirect the seeping wall water to the WaterGuard, while reducing moisture and making the walls more appealing. WaterGuard helped collect and relocate the water to the TripleSafe sump where it would be discharged out of the basement. The SaniDry Sedona helped keep the humidity levels under control, to help prevent future mold growth.

Donna and Carl were concerned of the musty, moldy smell throughout their home. They thought it might be coming from the basement but didn’t know where. When they reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the area inspected, a proper and effective waterproofing system was proposed. Chris had explained that the old walls and floors had begun to leak, causing water to puddle and pool, leading to the growth of mold. CleanSpace Liner was offered to be placed along the walls to seal off water and create a barrier to help prevent future mold growth. WaterGuard was placed along the wall and floors joints to collect water from the walls and floor and redirect it to a SuperSump. Now the seeping water can be properly redirected out of the home, leaving the basement dry, reducing the musty, moldy smell, and leaving Donna and Carl with a healthier smelling home. 

As you can see in the before photo, this Lostant, IL homeowner was facing a safety concern without a proper exit point in their basement. They turned to us for a solution and, through the installation of a Rockwell egress window, we were able to transform their basement into a safer, more functional space. Notice in the after photo how the new egress window provides a clear, unobstructed exit path, ensuring safety in case of an emergency. Additionally, the larger size of the Rockwell window allows for significantly more natural light and ventilation, improving the overall comfort and livability of the basement. Now, their basement is not only a safer place for everyone but also a more enjoyable space to be in, all thanks to the installation of a Rockwell egress window.

Bowing walls can cause foundation cracks and shifts, weakening the support to the rest of your home. GeoLock Wall Anchors from MidAmerica Basement Systems help stop the wall(s) from worsening, and provide the option of straightening your foundation walls back to their original state. Rather the foundation wall is leaning or sliding in at the base of the wall, the GeoLock system secures a strong hold in the ground creating the pull on the wall, stopping the inward bow, while potentially straightening it out. The sleek design of the system prevents it from interfering with the rest of your home.

Prior to waterproofing, this Wenona, IL basement showed obvious signs of water issues. From stained floors to efflorescence on the walls, it was clear that it was time for the homeowner to take action. In just two days our crews were able to take this basement from wet and musty to dry and beautiful. If you are experiencing water issues in your basement, we have solutions for you!
