Before & After Photos

Before our intervention in Mapleton, IL, the homeowner faced significant crawl space issues, with moisture threatening mold control and inviting pests. As shown in the photo, the conditions were concerning. The damp atmosphere speaks to the challenges commonly seen in many homes, where unsealed crawl spaces allow moisture to seep in, creating a breeding ground for wood rot and unwanted pests.

We addressed these issues with our reliable IceGuard® discharge line protection, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and Drainage Matting system. This thorough repair and waterproofing work was executed by our expert production team at MidAmerica Basement Systems, led by Foreman Jacob Quinn. The crew carefully sealed the crawl space with the durable vapor barrier liner to completely isolate the home from the damp earth, while the drainage matting was laid down to channel away any pooled moisture beneath the liner. Outside, the patented discharge system ensures that water continues to exit safely even if the outdoor lines freeze during severe winter weather.

In the after photo, you can see a spotless, dry area, reflecting our meticulous attention to detail. Our patented solutions demonstrated effectiveness incomparable to those used by others, ensuring a durable, clean environment under the home and providing the homeowner with ultimate peace of mind.

Having an untreated crawlspace can lead to a damp home, not to mention a mold problem if not treated properly. For Bill, he was having an issue with both. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help, and he was offered a total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick, pool-like liner that completely and permanently seals off the exposed ground from the rest of the crawlspace. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured in it to prevent future mold growth, making it ideal in a damp, moist situation. CleanSpace liner not only provides a permanent seal against moisture, but also provides the crawlspace with a bright and clean finish. Bill no longer worries of high moisture levels in his home. 

Ray and Lynn were noticing excessive amounts of moisture in their basement, but couldn’t figure out where the issue was coming from. They reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their mysterious issue resolved. During inspection, Chris addressed the source of the issue from the untreated crawlspace. Completely sealing off the exposed ground from the crawlspace will prevent moisture from entering the area and the basement. Using CleanSpace to encapsulate the area provides the proper seal necessary for the job. SilverGlo insulation was also installed to help keep the area insulated, and vent covers were placed along the vent openings to the outside. Moisture levels are back in control at Ray and Lynn’s home.
