Before & After Photos

A foundation crack had become present in Marty’s basement and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was beginning to notice a small amount of water seepage and didn’t want it to become a larger problem. A WaterGuard and TripleSafe systems were offered to address the issue. The special wall flag that is offered with the WaterGuard system allows for water to be collected from the seeping wall, and redirected to the TripleSafe. Marty no longer has to worry about water seeping in his basement and ruining his belonging.

Finishing a basement before it is waterproofed is never a good choice. At some point the floors and walls will begin to leak, ruining the basement. As for Aj and Pat, this was just the case. The paneling that had be placed on the walls was hiding a leaking issue, slowly causing the finished walls to warp and rot. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their situation looked at. It was addressed that a foundation crack was causing the walls to leak and ruin the walls. A WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any and all seeping water. A TripleSafe sump was also installed to discharge water out of the home.

Homeowners have been at their home for years now and ever since they have been having water seeping into their basement through the wall & floor joints. They plan to live at their home for the long term and want to finish their basement so fixing their leaky basement is priority. Our design specialist, Chris DeVore had the privilege to assess the home and provide solutions for the homeowners. As a solution to help keep the water out the basement, Chris recommended WaterGuard. An effective waterproofing system, it captures groundwater before it leaks onto your basement floor. It does this by directing ground water to the sump pump where it can be pumped out the basement. Homeowners can now finish their basement with peace of mind.

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.
