Before & After Photos

In the before photo, a damp basement had a Rock Island, IL homeowner concerned about finishing the space. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems came in to address these challenges. Using our 35+ years of expertise, we installed a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring WaterGuard, CleanSpace, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. As shown in the after photo, the basement is now dry and ready for upgrades without the worry of water damage. Our solutions ensure the space remains clean and moisture-free, aligning perfectly with our dedication to customer satisfaction.  

This Clinton, IA homeowner was ready to remodel their entire basement, but knew they needed some essential waterproofing first. While the basement was previously finished there were a few areas that took on water, so they wanted a comprehensive waterproofing system installed before they continued on the remodel. We installed our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system along with a TripleSafe sump pump to shield the space. The durable design effectively channels water away from the basement walls to keep things dry and ready for a makeover. See the after photo for the results, our waterproofing leaves the room clean, dry, and perfectly setup for future projects.

In the "before" photo, you can see the daunting signs of a basement wall threatening to give up, making any homeowner uneasy about planning their dream retirement to Tennessee. Here in Rock Island, IL, we eased those worries completely.

The transformation began when our System Design Specialist, Andrew Sagar, thoroughly inspected the basement and designed the ultimate stabilization and waterproofing plan.

Fast-forward to installation day, and our powerhouse production team—led by Foreman Jacob Quinn alongside crew members Devin S., Caleb, and Val—went to work. To permanently tackle the failing wall and bowing foundation, Jacob and the crew installed our heavy-duty PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System for robust structural stability. To keep the space permanently dry, they put down our premier sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard®, paired with the reliable SuperSump® Sump Pump System. Finally, they wrapped the walls in a CleanSpace® Wall Vapor Barrier for a fresh, clean, and dry touch.

Notice how the "after" photo showcases a dramatic transformation? Thanks to Andrew’s precise design and the incredible craftsmanship of Jacob, Devin S., Caleb, and Val, getting from "What if the wall collapses?" to a worry-free future wasn't as far away as it seemed. We're thrilled to help secure these homeowners' aspirations and future plans!
