Before & After Photos

In East Moline, IL, a homeowner preparing to sell their home knew that the basement was in need of an upgrade before hitting the market. As seen in the before photo, there was evidence of moisture issues in the basement that were not going to resolve themself. To address this, we installed our WaterGuard system, CleanSpace liner, and a TripleSafe sump pump. In the after photo, you can see the result: a clean, dry, and inviting basement. Our comprehensive approach not only fixes water issues but also enhances the home's market appeal, ensuring confidence for future buyers.

Before: In East Moline, Illinois, a family home was plagued by a wet and leaky basement that threatened the structural integrity of the foundation. With the homeowner's nephews currently living in the space and plans to sell the property within the next two years, the persistent water intrusion was a major concern for both current comfort and future resale value. The damp environment and visible seepage created an urgent need for a professional solution that could guarantee a dry, market-ready basement.

After: Our team transformed the space by installing the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system paired with a SuperSump premier pump to capture and remove water before it reaches the floor surface. To improve the overall environment and aesthetics, we added the CleanSpace antimicrobial vapor barrier to the walls, which redirects moisture into the drainage channel while providing a bright and clean finish. The result is a permanently dry and healthy basement that allows the current residents to live comfortably and ensures the home is protected for its future sale.

Tom lives in an older home and has never had too many issues with a leaking basement. He mentioned how that maybe once, twice at the most, there was small seepage during the year. After the last heavy rainfall, with accumulations reaching more than 5 inches, his basement became a swimming pool. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement inspected. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the foundation walls to help reduce humidity levels, and prevent water from seeping in through the walls. WaterGuard was then installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any seeping wall and floor water, preventing it from surfacing. Once water is collected, and is then redirected to a SuperSump and UltraSump systems to be properly discharged from the basement.

LeClaire homeowner, Linda, was dismayed by the water getting into her basement. She wanted to do something about it, so she contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. Shortly thereafter, she met with design specialist Bryan Christopherson and had her basement waterproofing solution designed. 

Pat Z. of LeClaire, IA had water coming in through the walls in the basement. Pat met with design specialist Joe Sarb, who recommended WaterGuard and a SuperSump Sump Pump. Now, the water intrusions are no longer an issue.
