In Morrison, IL, a homeowner reached out to us at MidAmerica Basement Systems concerned about a sidewalk that had settled, posing a tripping hazard. As shown in the before photo, the concrete had sunk unevenly. We utilized our PolyLevel system, injecting high-strength foam to lift and level the slab back into place, as seen in the after photo. To prevent further issues, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant, keeping water from seeping underneath. With our expertise an careful attention, the path is not smoother and safer.
Mark and Sandy were furious when they went down in their basement to find that their sump pump had quit working, causing the area to flood. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their pump inspected. During the evaluation, it was noted that large amounts of water seepage would come into the home. This would make the pump over whelmed, causing it to fail and flood the basement. It was suggested that they installed a TripleSafe sump. A TripleSafe offers two primary pumps, making sure that the amount of water that seeps into the home is properly accommodated.
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.
Jeff was concerned about the large foundation crack on his garage slab. In the past couple of years, it had gotten bigger, and new cracks started appearing. He was unsure of how to have the issue addressed and contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Dan offered Jeff the solution of NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant to has been engineered for long-lasting flexibility. The sealant won’t crack, bubble or dry like typical sealants, allowing the sealant to move and shift with the natural movement of the ground. Because of the flexibility, Jeff will no longer worry about the cracks becoming bigger or longer.
