Before & After Photos

Julie decided that her basement needed a waterproofing system. She was tired of her cold, wet basement and turned to MidAmerica Basement Systems to help her create a space in her home that was safe and free of moisture. Julie and Design Specialist Mac McDaniel came to the conclusion that Julie needed a sup pump and after reviewing all of her options, went with the TripleSafe sump pump. Due to its three pump system, Julie could be guaranteed that her basement would be kept dry at all times. Along with the sump pump Julie had clean space walls installed which gave her a clean look along with protection from water and insects.

The homeowner of this crawl space wished for usable space that would be sealed from the earth, waterproofed, and healthier overall. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems cleaned debris from the space and fitted the space with CleansSpace. CleanSpace liner is 20 mil thick 7 ply material that is resistant to tear and punctures making it durable and long lasting. The CleanSpace fights mold growth with UltraFresh, which is an antimicrobial additive. The CleanSpace also acts as a vapor barrier making it difficult for Radon gas to enter the home. The space before is dark and cold but after the MidAmerica team seals it with CleanSpace, the homeowner has a space that cleaner, brighter, and available for use. 

Faced with water intrusion and mold in the crawlspace, a homeowner in Mapleton, IL turned to us for help. Notice in the before photo the signs of moisture damage creating a breeding ground for mold and musty odors. Our expert team addressed these issues with the CleanSpace system, SmartDrain, Drainage Matting, and the powerful Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Now, the after photo shows a clean, dry crawlspace, ensuring a healthy home environment and protecting the structure. 

Having an untreated crawlspace can lead to a damp home, not to mention a mold problem if not treated properly. For Bill, he was having an issue with both. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help, and he was offered a total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick, pool-like liner that completely and permanently seals off the exposed ground from the rest of the crawlspace. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured in it to prevent future mold growth, making it ideal in a damp, moist situation. CleanSpace liner not only provides a permanent seal against moisture, but also provides the crawlspace with a bright and clean finish. Bill no longer worries of high moisture levels in his home. 

Ray and Lynn were noticing excessive amounts of moisture in their basement, but couldn’t figure out where the issue was coming from. They reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their mysterious issue resolved. During inspection, Chris addressed the source of the issue from the untreated crawlspace. Completely sealing off the exposed ground from the crawlspace will prevent moisture from entering the area and the basement. Using CleanSpace to encapsulate the area provides the proper seal necessary for the job. SilverGlo insulation was also installed to help keep the area insulated, and vent covers were placed along the vent openings to the outside. Moisture levels are back in control at Ray and Lynn’s home.
