Before & After Photos

Water getting into a basement is not an ideal situation for any homeowner! A homeowner in Stanwood, IA was tired of putting up with the watery mess that she kept finding in her basement. It would happen quite often when it would rain and they were tired of finding more rain in their home than outside. The water was coming in around a certain spot in their basement. They knew it was time to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out and take a look at their basement. Since the water was coming in around the perimeter, he knew what the best solution was to fix their water problem, WaterGuard!

The WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of the homeowner's basement. It is a very effective and reliable system to have installed within your home. It is a piping system that will intercept water as it comes into the home. After the water is collected it will drain the water safely and unseen to the sump pump system to pump the water out of the basement. It is even designed with a special WaterGuard port that works well as an inspection port and also as a continuous dehumidifier drain. The best part about WaterGuard is that since it's installed around the perimeter it still allows you to use your basement for recreational or storage purposes.

Now the homeowner is able to rest easy again knowing that their basement will once again be clean and dry. They will no longer have any worries in mind the next time it rains thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team. If you too are looking to have your basement fully waterproofed, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Call us today!

New waterproofing system helps a home with water issue in Hopkinton, IA 

Leaking basements can cause a number of issues to your home. A home in Monticello had an issue with water leaking in the basement, causing dampness, even though there was a sump pump. A quick call to MidAmerica Basement Systems, crew members were able to fix the issue. They installed CleanSpace and WaterGuard to help direct any water to the sump pump. A SaniDry XP was also installed to help keep any extra moisture out of the air. Now water is properly discharged from the home, and air is dry.

Homeowners Alan and Amy have lived in their home for the last few years. They were interested in expanding their living space into their basement that included making sure that the rooms in their basement were fire safe. By adding an egress window into your home you can be sure that the rooms are safe and legally able to be classified as a bedroom by fire safety codes.
