Homeowner William recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about his waterproofing options for his home. He was experiencing water coming through the walls and floors and was concerned about mold and the integrity of his home. He had a full perimeter waterproofing system installed into his home. The WaterGuard system installed around all of the exterior walls. The WaterGuard acts like a channeling system that moves water to the sump pump where the water is pumped out.
Steve was having issues with leaking basement walls. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a sump pump installed. When discussing his options with design specialist, Mike Banks, it was offered more than just a sump pump. Mike suggested having CleanSpace Liner installed on the wall to help reduce the moisture in the area and to help redirect seeping water to a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard helps collect the seeping water and direct it to a TripleSafe sump. Leaking foundation walls are now no longer an issue for Steve.
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.
