Before & After Photos

Marengo homeowners were noticing a lot of repeated water intrusion in their basement so they reached out the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team addressed key concerns the homeowners had such as water seeping through where the walls meet the floor by installing WaterGuard subfloor drainage system and SuperSump pump system. The homeowners now have a basement that will stay dry!

Terry and Joyce of Vinton, IA contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems because they had water coming into their basement. After meeting with design specialist Mac McDaniel, a solution was designed to keep their basement dry. The solution includes patented sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard, two TripleSafe Sump Pumps, and BrightWall, to name a few. BrightWall and WaterGuard are featured here, keeping the basement dry and inviting.

Teana has always had a drainage and sump pump system to address the leaking area in her basement, that was before she had issues with other areas leaking. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the leaking areas address. She was offered a whole new perimeter system called WaterGuard. WaterGuard is installed under the concrete floor to prevent water from surfacing, and helped redirect the water to the sump pump. Her current system was installed on top of the floor, which allows for more moisture to enter the air, increasing the humidity levels, and some areas even grew mold due to improper water flow to the sump pump.

A homeowner in Fayette, IA was having water coming into their basement around the perimeter of the basement. This was a problem that would happen quite often when it would rain. It was time to call the experts in the industry, MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out to take a look at their basement and give them the best recommendation possible to meet their goal of keeping water out of their home.

WaterGuard was the answer to the problem! WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement walls. It is one of the most effective and reliable ways to keep your basement clean and dry permanently. It is a piping system that will intercept water as it comes in and drain it safely, unseen to the Sump Pump System to be pumped out of the basement. It is designed to sit above the dirt so it will not collect dirt or sediment. This is a great installation to consider because it will still allow you to use your basement for storage or recreational purposes.

Now the homeowner will once again be able to enjoy their basement with no worry in mind of water coming in thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team!

Warren F. of Oelwein, IA decided he wanted to get his basement finished. He called MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate, and met with design specialist Joe Sarb. Joe and Warren worked together and designed a finished basement system, and Warren picked from many beautiful flooring options and other materials. In order to get the finishes added to the basement, though, the basement first needed to be waterproofed with a full perimeter WaterGuard. These pictures show before and after the WaterGuard is installed. Once the concrete dries, you'll never even know WaterGuard was installed!
