Before & After Photos

Homeowner, Leah in Abingdon, IL was experiencing water in her basement. It was a continuing issue that she knew she could no longer just put the issue to the side, she needed professional help! She contacted the local experts in her area, MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design Specialist, Troy was able to give her the best recommendation for her home possible.

Installer, Dillion was able to come out to Leah's home to install it. WaterGuard was one of the systems installed within Leah's home. It is a great waterproofing system that will permanently solve wet basement problems. WaterGuard intercepts the incoming water around the perimeter of the basement walls and carries it unseen, away to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, keeping Leah's home dry and water free!

Vicki was having issues with water seeping into her basement after heavy rains. She also had issues with her basement drain backing up, preventing water from flowing out of her basement. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the problem resolved and finally have a dry basement. Mike has proposed installing a TripleSafe sump to account for the large amounts of water that would enter the basement during rains. LateralDrains were than installed from the basemen drain to the pump to prevent future back-ups. For the rest of the basement, WaterGuard was installed to collect and redirect the seeping water to the TripleSafe to be discharged back out of the home. Vicki now has a dry, and reliable waterproofing system in her basement.

Leaks in concrete structures are a problem that homeowners have struggled with for decades. Frustrated homeowners and professionals have tried to stop the water and leaking with sealers and patches of various kinds however they have had no luck. MidAmerica Basement Systems now proudly offer Chemical Injection. Chemical injection is a process in which a special polyurethane resin is injected into a crack hole, joint or another opening in concrete.

First holes are drilled in the wall at a 45-degree angle to cross the crack halfway through the wall. Then, special high-pressure injection ports are securely installed into the wall. Next. the poly resin is pumped into the cracks or joints. The appearance of the sealant on the inside is a positive indication of its migration all the way through the crack. After the resin is pumped into the wall the ports are removed and the holes are filled. For a nice appearance, a cement coating is then applied. 

The homeowner of this basement in Normal, IL were concerned about the condition of their basement. They were experiencing water intrusion. They were also worried about cracks in the foundation walls and about one of the walls beginning to show signs of bowing. The experts from MidAmerica Basement Systems installed the SuperSump pump to keep the basement dry all the time, along with WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. The team further waterproofed the space by installing the CleanSpace liner to the damaged walls. To stabilize the bowing wall, the team installed the PowerBrace foundation wall system with patented tightening system that potentially straightens the wall over time.
