Before & After Photos

Homeowners have been at their home for years now and ever since they have been having water seeping into their basement through the wall & floor joints. They plan to live at their home for the long term and want to finish their basement so fixing their leaky basement is priority. Our design specialist, Chris DeVore had the privilege to assess the home and provide solutions for the homeowners. As a solution to help keep the water out the basement, Chris recommended WaterGuard. An effective waterproofing system, it captures groundwater before it leaks onto your basement floor. It does this by directing ground water to the sump pump where it can be pumped out the basement. Homeowners can now finish their basement with peace of mind.

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
