Before & After Photos

A Galesburg family was prepping to sell their home, but an "indoor pond" in the basement was standing in the way. Michael Chezum inspected the site and found foundation seepage and high humidity fueling mold growth. The space was damp, risky, and definitely not market-ready.

Michael designed a custom plan, and Foreman Jacob Quinn led the production team to bring it to life. Jacob’s crew installed:

• WaterGuard & TripleSafe Sump Pump: To catch and kick out intruding water.
• CleanSpace & SaniDry Sedona: To seal the walls and crush humidity.
• GeoLock Wall Anchors: To stabilize the foundation for good.

A once-soggy basement is now a bright, dry, and healthy space.

Harry and Christine A. of Coal Valley, IL decided they wanted to add value to their home so they called MidAmerica Basement Systems, the local experts in All Things Basementy. Design specialist Clayton Spinler came out to their home to evaluate the situation, and designed a solution to replace two existing egress windows. The egress windows would be installed in such a way that improved energy efficiency. The new windows look great, and the energy bill is a little nicer too!

Marilyn C. had been experiencing problems with frequent water intrusion. After meeting with MidAmerica Basement Systems' design specialist, Mike Banks, she had her basement waterproofed with patented, sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Her basement is now dry, and she is very pleased. 

Gerald was looking to turn his basement into a man cave, but couldn’t seem to keep his basement warm. The drywall he had installed wasn’t working like he had hoped. MidAmerica Basement Systems suggested that installing a ThermalDry Wall System would help keep his basement warm, efficiently. SilverGlo is a rigid foam insulation that will never absorb moisture or lose R-value. SilverGlo provides the ultimate energy saver.

Ed is a previous customer who has had work provided by MidAmerica Basement Systems in his previous home. After moving into his new home, he was worried about the sump that was in his basement. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a TripleSafe sump to replace the current one. A TripleSafe sump offers a three sump system: primary- , secondary- , and battery backup-pump. An airtight sump lid prevents odors and humidity from entering the basement, while protecting any debris from entering the pit, which can cause harm to the pumps. “MidAmerica Basement Systems has a reputation as a professional company that provides the best solution for wet basement problems. I wanted to go with the best and did.” - Ed
