Before & After Photos

The residential structure in East Moline, IL was suffering from chronic hydrostatic pressure, resulting in active groundwater seepage and elevated relative humidity that rendered the basement unusable. System Design Specialist Jamie Cox diagnosed the structural breach points and engineered a comprehensive sub-grade management solution to stabilize the environment for future storage and bathroom installation.

Foreman Jacob Oetzman and technician Antonio executed the technical remediation, installing the WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system along the perimeter footing to intercept water table migration. This flow was directed into a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, utilizing a three-pump configuration to guarantee continuous discharge even during peak flow or power failures. Finally, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier was mechanically fastened to the foundation walls to block vapor transmission and redirect wall seepage into the drainage channel. This multi-tiered intervention successfully mitigated the moisture dynamics, transforming a compromised, high-humidity space into a dry, structurally stabilized environment ready for build-out.

Tom lives in an older home and has never had too many issues with a leaking basement. He mentioned how that maybe once, twice at the most, there was small seepage during the year. After the last heavy rainfall, with accumulations reaching more than 5 inches, his basement became a swimming pool. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement inspected. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the foundation walls to help reduce humidity levels, and prevent water from seeping in through the walls. WaterGuard was then installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any seeping wall and floor water, preventing it from surfacing. Once water is collected, and is then redirected to a SuperSump and UltraSump systems to be properly discharged from the basement.

LeClaire homeowner, Linda, was dismayed by the water getting into her basement. She wanted to do something about it, so she contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. Shortly thereafter, she met with design specialist Bryan Christopherson and had her basement waterproofing solution designed. 

Pat Z. of LeClaire, IA had water coming in through the walls in the basement. Pat met with design specialist Joe Sarb, who recommended WaterGuard and a SuperSump Sump Pump. Now, the water intrusions are no longer an issue. 

Debbie & Dan’s Basement had water seeping in through corner in the foundation between the wall & floor joints. With our WaterGuard System the water seeping in now gets channeled into one of our top of the line sump pumps and discharged outside away from the house. Our WaterGuard System flange spacers make a nice, neat finished look and keep dirt and debris from the floor out of the gap.
