Before & After Photos

New sump pump added to a home in Buda, IL 

The homeowner wanted to waterproof and restore the basement walls. There had been signs of mold growth along the bottom half of the wall so the homeowner knew that they needed a solution that would not only be effective at waterproofing, but looked great as well. The homeowners gave MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. 

The first image, is the basement wall before being replaced with EverLast Wall Restoration Panels or the perimeter being waterproofed with WaterGuard XL. 

WaterGuard XL perimeter drainage system directs wall leaks as well as leaks coming from ground water surrounding the foundation to flow to the local sump pump. The EverLast Wall Restoraton panels are made of materials that are inorganic which is important when trying to minimize mold growth. Drainage matting is installed to help foundation wall leaks to drain to the WaterGuard XL. The CleanSpace is installed with the EverLast Wall Restoration panels to help keep water and vapor behind the liners for a dryer and healthier wall system. 

The homeowner now has basement walls that are not only efficient but gives the basement a cleaner, and warmer tone. 

Homeowners Patrick and Jodi have lied in her 1960's home for their entire life. They recently discovered that their home was experiencing water issues. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when they wanted to learn more about the waterproofing options for their home. They had a full perimeter waterproofing system and a new sump pump. The WaterGuard system is similar to a channeling system and is used to move water out of the home. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three pump system that equipped with a battery back to keep the system running in case of power loss in your home. 

Darrell was having issues with water seeping and pooling in his basement and didn’t know what to do. When he heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems he quickly contacted them to have his issue fixed. During his inspection, it was offered that a waterproofing system that included CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump, be installed. The CleanSpace helps address the leaking foundation walls by placing a vapor barrier to help stop moisture from entering. It also helps direct water to the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a drainage system that collects water from under the foundation floor and water that seeps in from the walls. After water is collected in the WaterGuard, it is redirected to the SuperSump to be discharged from the home. Darrell now longer worries of a wet basement.
