Jim’s basement is home to his children’s playroom, but because it’s completely made of concrete, it is a very cold playroom. He was unsure of placing insulation along the wall because he knew that the cold, damp concrete would ruin the insulation, defeating the purpose of the insulation. MidAmerica Basement Systems had the perfect insulation solution for Jim’s basement. ThermalDry Wall is a moisture and vapor barrier that will not be effected by the damp concrete. Its unique design is heat-reflective, allowing 97% of your home’s heat to stay inside rather than escaping. Jim’s children now have a playroom that stays room, making it an enjoyable place.

Homeowner Jennie has lived in her home for the last year. She was displeased with the way her crawlspace looked so she called MidAmerica Basement Systems. She decided that encapsulating her crawlspace was the best option for her home. Encapsulation included using CleanSPace technology to keep the space clean and dry and also free of mold. The CleanSpace is a thick layer similar to a poll liner that keeps your crawlspace free of moisture. The liner also can keep out rodents and insects.
In the cold winter months, it is common for pipes to freeze, causing sump systems to back-up and flood into your basement. With the proper discharge line and IceGuard, MidAmerica Basement Systems can provide the ease during the freezing months. IceGuard allows for water to be discharge from the home while preventing water from freezing during discharge.
Bill was having issues with a foundation leak repair, leaking once again only months after it was applied. He reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his repair checked and properly fixed. Due to the common sealant that was originally injected in the crack, it had dried and shrank, leaving the sealant to crack and break. The old sealant was replaced with FlexiSpan injections to properly adhere and seal the crack. FlexiSpan is a high-density polyurethane sealant that flexes and expands with the natural movement of the earth and foundation of the home, giving the permanent bond necessary for crack. FlexiSpan prevents the crack from worsening and seals the area from moisture and water seepage, leaving the basement dry.
