Before & After Photos

John and Dorothy were noticing high levels of moisture in their home and decided to purchase a dehumidifier from the hardware store. It didn’t seem to help considering the had to dump the unit 3 times a day. They decided it was time for help, and reached out to the experts of MidAmerica Basement Systems. It was discovered that the main source of the moisture levels was coming from the untreated crawlspace. Water was seeping under the home, and making its way into the rest of the house. CleanSpace was offered to totally encapsulate and permanently seal off the moisture. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was placed along the exposed ground to collect and move the moisture the a SmartDrain. CleanSpace Liner was installed over top the matting and along the walls to permanently seal off the crawlspace from the exposed ground. Any water that entered under the crawlspace was pumped back out through the SmartDrain, keeping the crawlspace dry. John and Dorothy no longer have issues with moisture levels in their home.

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.

Before our intervention in Mapleton, IL, the homeowner faced significant crawl space issues, with moisture threatening mold control and inviting pests. As shown in the photo, the conditions were concerning. The damp atmosphere speaks to the challenges commonly seen in many homes, where unsealed crawl spaces allow moisture to seep in, creating a breeding ground for wood rot and unwanted pests.

We addressed these issues with our reliable IceGuard® discharge line protection, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and Drainage Matting system. This thorough repair and waterproofing work was executed by our expert production team at MidAmerica Basement Systems, led by Foreman Jacob Quinn. The crew carefully sealed the crawl space with the durable vapor barrier liner to completely isolate the home from the damp earth, while the drainage matting was laid down to channel away any pooled moisture beneath the liner. Outside, the patented discharge system ensures that water continues to exit safely even if the outdoor lines freeze during severe winter weather.

In the after photo, you can see a spotless, dry area, reflecting our meticulous attention to detail. Our patented solutions demonstrated effectiveness incomparable to those used by others, ensuring a durable, clean environment under the home and providing the homeowner with ultimate peace of mind.
