A foundation crack had become present in Marty’s basement and quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was beginning to notice a small amount of water seepage and didn’t want it to become a larger problem. A WaterGuard and TripleSafe systems were offered to address the issue. The special wall flag that is offered with the WaterGuard system allows for water to be collected from the seeping wall, and redirected to the TripleSafe. Marty no longer has to worry about water seeping in his basement and ruining his belonging.
Finishing a basement before it is waterproofed is never a good choice. At some point the floors and walls will begin to leak, ruining the basement. As for Aj and Pat, this was just the case. The paneling that had be placed on the walls was hiding a leaking issue, slowly causing the finished walls to warp and rot. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their situation looked at. It was addressed that a foundation crack was causing the walls to leak and ruin the walls. A WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any and all seeping water. A TripleSafe sump was also installed to discharge water out of the home.
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.
Tom lives in an older home and has never had too many issues with a leaking basement. He mentioned how that maybe once, twice at the most, there was small seepage during the year. After the last heavy rainfall, with accumulations reaching more than 5 inches, his basement became a swimming pool. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement inspected. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the foundation walls to help reduce humidity levels, and prevent water from seeping in through the walls. WaterGuard was then installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any seeping wall and floor water, preventing it from surfacing. Once water is collected, and is then redirected to a SuperSump and UltraSump systems to be properly discharged from the basement.
