Before & After Photos

Water in the basement can be more than a minor inconvenience, it can also compromise your home's value and safety. In the before photo, you can see the old basement windows in this Davenport, IA home, which were the culprit behind persistent leaks. We addressed the issues by replacing the existing windows with our reliable Everlast basement windows. As the after photo shows, these new windows ensure a watertight seal, keeping the area safe and dry. With over 35 years of experience, our family-owned team is committed to putting the customer first, providing exceptional solutions every step of the way. 

Radon is essentially gas that seeps up from the earth and can find it's way into homes. If the Radon levels are high, it can pose a hazardous living environment for the homeowner. The most susceptible homes are those with crawl spaces and basements that are not properly ventilated. MidAmerica Basement Sytems has the solution: a Radon mitigation system that carries the harmful gas out of homes. 

The homeowner of the Davenport basement wanted to start finishing the basement. The homeowner noticed water intrusion in the space and knew they had to waterproof the space before completely finishing it so the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems was called. The team installed WaterGuard around the perimeter to drain wall leaks into the system and away from the foundation floor. ThermalDry flooring was installed on the cold, damp foundation foor. ThermalDry is made of all-inorganic materials making it resistant to water damage and mold growth. The small pegs on the bottom of the tiles allow for air flow to avoid trapped water vapor that can cause odors. The homeowner chose to go with the warm Parquet style ThermalDry flooring which gives the appearance of wood without the concerns that accompany wood floors in basements (water damage, mold, decay). 

The walls were insulated with Basement to Beautiful wall panels. The panels are a 2 1/2" thick graphite infused foam insulation that will not absorb moisture, allows for wall leaks to drain to WaterGuard and has built in chases for electrical wiring. Basement to Beautiful panels are a vapor barrier and provide excellent insulation. The EnergyStar rated dehumidifying and air filtration unit was also installed to keep the space fresh and healthy. 

The homeowner has a basement that has already made a huge improvement. The space is warmer, inviting and feels great!
