Before & After Photos

Mark and Lenora G., La Moille, IL homeowners, were suffering from frequent water intrusion at the base of their basement walls. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems, and met with design specialist Dan Garner who helped them determine the problem, and the solution. Now, their basement is very dry, and they are very happy! Part of their solution included the addition of the TripleSafe Sump Pump, pictured here. 

Bowing walls can cause foundation cracks and shifts, weakening the support to the rest of your home. GeoLock Wall Anchors from MidAmerica Basement Systems help stop the wall(s) from worsening, and provide the option of straightening your foundation walls back to their original state. Rather the foundation wall is leaning or sliding in at the base of the wall, the GeoLock system secures a strong hold in the ground creating the pull on the wall, stopping the inward bow, while potentially straightening it out. The sleek design of the system prevents it from interfering with the rest of your home.

Prior to waterproofing, this Wenona, IL basement showed obvious signs of water issues. From stained floors to efflorescence on the walls, it was clear that it was time for the homeowner to take action. In just two days our crews were able to take this basement from wet and musty to dry and beautiful. If you are experiencing water issues in your basement, we have solutions for you!

For many years Richard and Sharleen let water enter their basement, never fixing the issue. Over time, the walls began to bow, causing an unsafe foundation to live in. They finally reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their issues addressed once and for all. Due to the years of untreated leaking water, mold had grown in large sections throughout the basement, and MoldX was applied to help reduce the mold. EverLast Windows replaced the old leaking windows, and CleanSpace was placed over the walls. CleanSpace helps reduce the moisture levels and helps protect from future mold growth. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed in the basement to help redirect and discharge the water the entered the basement. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to help control humidity levels, keeping the process of mold growth from succeeding. A PowerBrace system was then installed to permanently stabilize the foundation. The unique tightening feature also allows for the wall to be straightened over time to increase the appearance of the walls.

Barbara was tired of dealing with water in her basement. MidAmerica Basement Systems came and installed the patented WaterGuard drainage system to channel the water out of her home. Barbara is happy with the work that was done and not having to deal with it herself is a huge relief.
