Melissa was having issue with high moisture levels in her basement. When she contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems in thought that she needed a waterproofing system, she was told otherwise. The large amounts of moisture were coming from her untreated crawlspace. The dirt ground was allowing for moisture to seep into her basement, leaving the area damp and musty smelling. It was offered that she have CleanSpace installed to permanently seal off the ground from the rest of the home. The thick liner has dramatically reduced the moisture levels in Melissa’s basement, putting her at ease.
Richard was having issues with his finished walls in his basement. They had begun to warp and swell due to a moisture issue. When he removed the portions of the wall, large water stains were very prominent. He quickly reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed before the rest of the finished walls became ruined. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the walls to provide a moisture barrier from the leaks, and helped redirect the water to a drainage system called WaterGuard. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the foundation to collect the seeping water and forward it to the TripleSafe sump.
Richard was looking to install flooring in his basement, but didn’t know where to start. He had heard of vinyl and laminate becoming ruined due to damp floors, and the for carpet, mold would tend to grow. MidAmerica Basement Systems offered him the perfect solution for flooring in his basement. ThermalDry Floor Matting not only offers a waterproof floor tile, but also a thermal break from the cold, damp concrete floor. ThermalDry Flooring offers a laminate or carpeting finishing that will not be ruined or damaged by water or moisture. The peg-raised system allows for air movement under the flooring tiles so moisture can flow and dry properly. The easy snap-together system also allows for the tiles to be popped out in any place to change the flooring. With ThermalDry Floor Matting being completely waterproofed, Richard can rest assure that his basement flooring will continue to last for years and years.
Bowing walls can lead to water leakage and unstable foundation for your home. With help from MidAmerica Basement Systems, we offer permanent solutions to stop bowing walls all together, while providing a stable foundation. To address the leaking, CleanSpace is often applied against the wall. This provides a moisture barrier between the wall and basement, and is directed towards a drainage system. One option for stabilizing the walls is a PowerBrace system. The patented tightening, I-Beam system not only permanently stops the wall from worsening, but can offer the opportunity to straighten the wall back to its original state over time.
Homeowner Kelly and Justin recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when they were interested in learning more about the PolyLevel services that we offer. PolyLevel is a foam that fills the void under the concrete slab. The foam expands and hardens under the slab, as the foam expands the slab is lifted and then it is sealed. they had PolyFoam injected under the labs around their pool.
