CleanSpace Barrier Protects Basement from Excessive Moisture in Amboy, IL

Rick had an older home with a leaking foundation. Due to the leaking, the basement always had a musty odor coming from it. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to see what kind of solution they could set for him. Rick was offered the CleanSpace Liner along the leaking wall. CleanSpace is a thick “pool-like” liner that will help reduce the moisture levels significantly. With the CleanSpace linking to a WaterGuard system, water and moisture will properly be redirected to a TripleSafe sump. Installing a SaniDry Sedona will complete the new waterproofing system for Rick. The musty odor is no longer an issue for his home.

IceGuard Improves Sump System at Home in Dunlap, IA

In the cold winter months, it is common for pipes to freeze, causing sump systems to back-up and flood into your basement. With the proper discharge line and IceGuard, MidAmerica Basement Systems can provide the ease during the freezing months. IceGuard allows for water to be discharge from the home while preventing water from freezing during discharge.

Repairing Leaking Foundation in Dunlap, IL

Bill was having issues with a foundation leak repair, leaking once again only months after it was applied. He reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his repair checked and properly fixed. Due to the common sealant that was originally injected in the crack, it had dried and shrank, leaving the sealant to crack and break. The old sealant was replaced with FlexiSpan injections to properly adhere and seal the crack. FlexiSpan is a high-density polyurethane sealant that flexes and expands with the natural movement of the earth and foundation of the home, giving the permanent bond necessary for crack. FlexiSpan prevents the crack from worsening and seals the area from moisture and water seepage, leaving the basement dry.

Leaking Foundation Damages Finished Basement in Dunlap, IL

Mark and Shawn recently purchased a home with a finished basement and were told not to worry about it becoming damaged because a sump pump had been installed. One day after a heavy rain, they began to notice water seeping in around the corner of the basement, making the floors and walls wet. When they looked deeper into the issue, large damage was found behind the drywall. Mark and Shawn quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the issue. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the concrete foundation to help control the moisture issues and WaterGuard was installed along the floor and wall joint to collect the seeping water and help redirect it to the existing sump pump. Now Mark and Shawn have a proper waterproofing system that will prevent future damage to the finished basement.
