Before & After Photos

If water has taken over your basement like it did for one of our Peoria, IL homeowners, we get the panic. In the "before" photo, you can see the familiar foe: moisture creep—a sight that immediately sparks a need for a professional solution.

To tackle this moisture mayhem, our specialist Scott Mohr stepped onto the scene. Scott played a dual role in this transformation, serving as both the Salesman who designed the custom solution and the Foreman who led the installation. Having the same expert guide the project from the initial brainstorm to the final bolt ensured that no detail was lost in translation.

Our team deployed the trusty CleanSpace drainage duo to reclaim the space:

CleanSpace Wall System: To stop moisture vapor from permeating the walls.

Drainage Matting: To ensure any trapped water is directed exactly where it needs to go.

In the "after" snap, behold how Scott and his crew transformed that clammy space into a dry oasis! We’re here to make your basement the reliable sidekick you’ve always needed by turning potential worries into dust.

In Peoria, IL, a homeowner was facing a growing safety concern: a failing egress well. The existing structure was crumbling and visually compromised, creating significant anxiety for the family. An egress well is a critical safety feature, but when the foundation around it begins to fail, it shifts from a life-saving exit to a structural liability. Staring out of a basement window at a collapsing well is never a reassuring sight for any property owner.

Mike Chezum, our System Design Specialist, arrived on-site to perform a comprehensive evaluation. Mike identified the specific points of failure in the old well and designed a replacement plan that prioritized both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. His goal was to move the homeowner from a state of worry to a state of total security.

Once the plan was green-lit, Foreman Jacob Quinn and his production crew took over the transformation. The team focused on a clean, robust installation process:

Removal & Excavation: The crew carefully extracted the old, vulnerable structure without disturbing the surrounding foundation.

System Reinforcement: Jacob ensured the new egress well was seated on a robust foundation feature, meeting all modern safety requirements and local building codes.

Final Grading: The area was meticulously finished to ensure proper drainage away from the new unit.

The results, as seen in the project photos, are night and day. What was once a crumbling, compromised structure is now a robust, high-quality egress well that enhances the home’s value and safety.

By replacing the "vulnerable" with the "sturdy," Mike and Jacob provided the homeowner with more than just a new window well—they provided peace of mind for years to come. Peeking outside is now a pleasant experience, and the basement is once again a secure, code-compliant living space.

Tom and Jacqueline H. of Peoria, IL contacted design specialist Dan Garner at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their drafty crawl space insulated. They were looking to increase the temperature of the house, decrease the cost of the energy bill, and trap unpleasant odors. Dan devised a system to help Tom and Jacqueline accomplish their goals using CleanSpace and SilverGlo. The project looks great!

We jumped into action with our WaterGuard system to channel water effectively, a TripleSafe Sump Pump for unmatched pumping reliability, and a CleanSpace liner for added protection.
