Before & After Photos

A Newhall, IA homeowner realized he had a bad radon problem when his test kit came back more than 5x higher than the EPA's recommended safe level. Concerned for his safety, Lyle called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate. He met with design specialist Joe Sarb, and now is breathing clean, safe air.

Every time it would rain, Jen’s garage would become wet, leaving water pooling and puddling. With no place for the water to go, mold started to grow, causing damp and unhealthy conditions. An inspection with Bryan from MidAmerica Basement Systems allowed for the issue to be properly addressed. A TrenchDrain system was installed to collect the water that would enter that garage. There it was properly directed away from the garage, helping keep the garage dry, and preventing the growth of more mold.

The homeowner of this basement in Urbana, IA called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems because she was concerned about water coming into her basement. The team came out to her residence and installed our patented products SuperSump pump, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace. Now the homeowner has a cleaner, dryer and brighter basement!

Randy’s children spend a lot of their time in the basement because of their playroom. He had begun noticing that they would bring their toys upstairs, rather than playing down there. They told Randy that it was because it was cold and damp in the basement, making it unpleasant to be down there. Randy reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have an insulation system installed. ThermalDry Wall panels were suggested to insulate the basement. ThermalDry offers a heat-reflective surface that bounces 97% of the home’s heat back into the area, while providing a moisture barrier between the cold, damp concrete walls, reducing the moisture levels. Randy’s children now continue to play in the basement, no longer worrying of being cold.

A SuperSump pump was installed in the middle of the floor because it was the lowest point of the basement. This is odd as usually it is in the corner of the basement but it's important that a sump pump be at the lowest point. It is also connected to a lateral so that the water from the WaterGuard can still reach the SuperSump.
