MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners of this wet Andover basement already had two sump pumps in their basement but it still wasn't enough to keep their basement dry so they reached out to the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team installed what is referred to as "sump pump royalty", the TripleSafe sump pump system. Finally the homeowners have a dry basement!

These homeowners wanted to insulate and further waterproof their basement so they contacted the MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team insulated the basement by installing Basement to Beautiful panels. Now the basement is dry and toasty!

Rick was having issues with his garage puddling and pooling during having rains. When he reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems, design specialist Chris, provided him with an option to keep the garage dry. A WaterGuard drainage system was offered to help collect the seeping water, and redirect it to a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard is a patented drainage system that uses special flanges to help collect seeping water floors and even leaking foundation walls. The TripleSafe sump also offers a three pump system to ensure all water is discharged, even during power outages.

This Princeton, IA homeowner was concerned about the stability of their basement walls due to inward bowing. To permanently address this issue and prevent further movement, we installed GeoLock wall anchors.

GeoLock is a foundation repair system specifically designed to stabilize bowing basement walls. Here's how it works:

• Earth Anchors: Heavy-duty anchors are placed deep in stable soil outside the foundation.
• Steel Rods: These anchors are connected to the bowing wall with long, galvanized steel rods that resist corrosion.
• Wall Plate: A steel plate is attached to the inside of the basement wall, distributing the pressure from the rod.
• Tightening Mechanism: The rods can be tightened over time, straightening the wall back to its original position in some cases.

By anchoring the wall to stable soil, GeoLock counteracts the pressure causing the bowing and reinforces the foundation. This minimally disruptive solution can be hidden behind finished basement walls and provides peace of mind for homeowners

Radon is the decay of the element radium, and is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and radioactive. This gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is found everywhere, and when it seeps into our homes, it continues to accumulate. One case in a home in Woodhull, IL, Radon levels were between 19 and 29 pCi/L. A mitigation system was installed into the concrete basement slab to draw the gas out from under the home. The specialists at MidAmerica Basement Systems have now helped provide the home with a safer breathing environment.
