Our recent project in Elkport, IA, addressed a common homeowner frustration: a persistent, leaking basement. To solve the problem, we installed a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring CleanSpace, TerraBlock, and Drainage Matting. As the "after" photo shows, these solutions work together to keep the space permanently dry and protected. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we’re proud to help homeowners reclaim their basements with confidence.
The owners of this damp, dank crawl space in Macomb had enough with the overall condition of their crawl space. The owners reached out to the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems and the team encapsulated the crawl space with the very strong and durable CleanSpace liner, sealing the space form the exposed earth. The home owners are thrilled to have a dryer, healthier and cleaner crawl space.
Open dirt floors crawlspaces can lead to a handful of problems: moisture in the home, mold growth, and energy deficiency to name a few. Encapsulated these crawlspaces can help prevent future home issues with the use of CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick liner that seals the ground from the home, providing a moisture barrier. If moisture cannot enter, mold has no “food” to grow. Another issue that comes about is heat loss. During the winter months, heating your home can become costly due to heat seeping out of the open crawlspace. Installing SilverGlo and a CleanSpace Liner help reflect heat and seal off the outside cold, helping reduce heading costs.
Water invaded this Alexis, IL basement faster than a toddler in a candy store. Since "indoor pool" wasn't exactly the homeowner’s aesthetic, we stepped in with WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Our WaterGuard system now expertly reroutes water to the sump pump—guiding it out like commuters rushing away from a pointless meeting. Combined with CleanSpace to seal and protect, this basement is officially bone-dry and ready for cozy living and safe storage.
The previous homeowner tried to keep water out of their crawl space by making a homemade sump pump which left the new homeowner with a damp, dirty and smelly crawl space. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems made the crawl space dryer, cleaner and healthier by installing CleanSpace liner and a SmartSump pump system. The new homeowner is very relieved for their new and improved crawl space!
