Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Cedar Rapids, IA

Waterproofing your basement prevents outside water from coming in but what if a pipe bursts or the water heater leaks inside the home. A newly finished basement done by your average contractor will mold and rot if there is an internal leak. You'll have to tear out your new basement! We fix this issue.

Our Products Include :
  • Waterproof, washable, insulated walls           
  • Mold-Resistant, No-Sag suspended ceiling
  • Modular carpet, tile & faux wood flooring

  • Energy-efficient, double-paned basement windows
  • Attractive Sunhouse basement window wells
  • French, bifold, louvre & six-paneled steel doors
Unlike the average Cedar Rapids contractor we use completely inorganic, waterproof materials. Even if the basement floods your walls and floors will not be damaged by the water. These waterproof products are patented and are built to create an attractive finished basement that lasts a lifetime.

Job Stories From Cedar Rapids, IA
Problematic Sidewalk Evened Out in Cedar Rapids, IA

A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, IA had a sidewalk that leads into the driveway. Over time the sidewalk started to sink down leaving the sidewalk and driveway not evened out. As time continued the sidewalk began to sink more leaving the sidewalk and driveway even more uneven. Now the area has become a tripping hazard and potential falling hazard at the homeowners home. They knew if they wanted to get it fixed they would need a concrete lifting and leveling expert to come to take a look at it. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems and we were more than happy to help this homeowner.

There is a solution to cracked, slopping, uneven concrete, and the solution is PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a concrete injection that is injected through the slab to raise it back up. A dime size hole is first drilled into the slab. Next, the lightweight foam is then injected through the hole to lift and expand the concrete back up in a controlled way. Once the concrete is lifted back up the hole is then sealed off and the concrete is once again useable. This will take less time than mud-jacking and involves no disturbance to the concrete and no mud is used at all! The foam is also environmentally friendly and made with recycled materials.

The sidewalk is now leveled back with the driveway and it is no longer a potential hazard in any way. The homeowner no longer worries about their sidewalk and is very pleased that it is back to normal! If you too are looking to have your sidewalks or driveways lifted and leveled, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to set you up with an appointment with a Design Specialist to come out to your home to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Call us today!

PolyLevel has the same idea as mud-jacking but will not create any disturbance to the concrete. PolyLevel also uses lightweight foam rather than mud.

Thirdly, the hole is sealed off like the concrete was never touched. After fifteen minutes the concrete is once again usable! A neat feature of PolyLevel is that the foam is environmentally friendly and is made with recycled materials.

The driveway of this homeowners home is once again usable and is completely leveled out. The homeowner no longer has to worry about the driveway being cracked or sloped thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team!

Complete Waterproofing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Homeowner Dylan and Melinda have been living in their home for 10 years, 8 of those years with a wet or damp basement. Heavy rain would cause water to flood into their home. They were concerned with the wet floor and how water came in through the window. They were worried that the water could potentially hurt the structural integrity of their home. When they called MidAmerica Basement Systems, they knew that they would be given the best options for them and their goals for their basement. Wes Glasglow suggested that they have a sump pump installed along with WaterGuard and a new window due to the water leaking in.  Dylan and Melinda decided that the TripleSump sump pump was the best option for their home. The TripleSump sump pump is a three-pump system that is guaranteed to keep your basement dry. It comes with a battery backup and a WaterWatch alarm to make sure you know that your system is always working and can be notified if the water in the sump pump is getting too high. WaterGuard is a system that keeps water out by channeling that water out. The WaterGuard perimeter catches water run off from the walls and then drains it out. Getting a new window was important so that the water could stop getting into their basement during a heavy rain. Everlast Windows are made for basements to make sure that your home stays waterproofed.

Sinking Concrete Causes Puddling in Driveway at Home in Cedar Rapids, IA

Concrete Leveling for Property in Cedar Rapids, IA

PolyLevel is a state of the art approach to repairing sunken concrete, with a twist of the old mud jacking ways. Using modern technology and knowledge, PolyLevel offers many more advantages. Holes, roughly 5/8 inch in size, are drilled into the concrete so the high-density polymers can fill the voids that have formed underneath the slabs. After all voids are filled, the PolyLevel expands, lifting and leveling to sunken slabs. The lightweight material weighs less than 4lbs per cubic foot compared to the 120lbs of mud jacking slurry, offering less stress weight on the soil. PolyLevel also has a quick drying time, allowing access to the injected area within 15 minutes of application. Mud jacking can take several days to cure, preventing the use of the area.

Waterproofed Old Basement in Cedar Rapids, IA

Ashley just purchased this home in Cedar Rapids. The home was built in the 1920's, so Ashley knew her new home may need some TLC. What Ashley didn't know until after it rained, was the substantial problem occurring in her basement. Ashley called MidAmerica Basement Systems about a massive leak that resembled more of a waterfall than a leak. Given that the home was built years ago, there was no way of knowing how long the problem has plagued this basement or how severe the damage was. Ashley called the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and an expert was sent out to the home for a free inspection and estimate.

Once Ashley understood what was happening and what could be done, the MidAmerica team began the plan to restore Ashely's basement. To address the problem of flooding from the amount of water coming in, the TripleSage Sump Pump was installed. With the ability to pump out massive amount of water with its 3 in 1 advanced pumping system, the "waterfall" Ashley described met its match. The basement was then installed with the WaterGuard waterproofing system, which redirects wall leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. The walls were then fitted with BrightWall. BrightWall is not only designed to brighten dark basements by giving it a "finished" look, but also is made of inorganic materials making it resistant to mold.

Now when Ashley goes down to her basement, she no longer worries about leaks or "waterfalls". MidAmerica is proud to have helped to restore this older basement for its newest homeowner!

BrightWall is not only designed to brighten dark basements by giving it a "finished" look, but also is made of inorganic materials making it resistant to mold.

Now when Ashley goes down to her basement, she no longer worries about leaks or "waterfalls". MidAmerica is proud to have helped to restore this older basement for its newest homeowner!

Window of Opportunity in Cedar Rapids

Tony and Dawn, homeowners of this Cedar Rapids home, really wanted to have a warm, bright and inviting basement. Starting with the windows. They called the team at MidAmerica Basement Systems and the expert, Joe Sarb, had the perfect solution that would not only provide Tony and Dawn with everything they wanted (like brightness and warmth) but also the things they needed (like durability and waterproof). Tony and Dawn were excited at the possibilities and soon the MidAmerica got to work.

With Mike Keck leading the team, they began by digging a hole around the exterior ground level window. Then they began enlarging the original window size to fit the new, larger energy efficient StakWel Egress window. To encapsulate the StakWel Egress window, the team installed the SunHouse. A durable window dressing that keeps weed, leaves and rain at bay. The SunHouse has a sturdy, clear lid that allows plenty of natural light in. The SunHouse is also a bright white color which allows light to bounce off and illuminate dark spaces. 

Tony and Dawn are pleased that they have such an aesthetically pleasing, energy efficient, durable window/window dressing and MidAmerica is thrilled to have fulfilled another families basement needs!

Basement is Waterproofed in Cedar Rapids

This basement in Cedar Rapids is owned by Graig, who noticed the deterioration of his basement and wanted a solution that he could trust to be efficient and reliable. Graig called on the MidAmerica Basement Systems team and requested to have one of our experts come out to his home and assess the problem.

With a greater understanding of what was happening and what can be done (including cost) to remedy Graig's basement troubles, Graig agreed. With Bill Wilcox as Primary Foreman, the team began working on Graig's basement. First, the team installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to alleviate the basement of further flood damage. The TripleSafe sump pump system is powerful enough to pump out at least 12,000 gallons of water (the average size of basements from floor to ceiling) and smart enough to alert Graig if there is ever a problem.

Next, the team addressed water leaks from the foundation walls by installing the WaterGuard system, which is able to re-direct leaks to the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the team lined the most evidently damaged foundation walls with none other than the CleanSpace liner wall system. A revolutionary product that is resistant to tears and punctures (so it's long lasting) and is also made with an anti-microbial additive that wards off mold and bacteria growth.

Graig included other exclusive Basement Systems products, such as the IceGuard, which comes to action in the case of a pipe freezing during winter. And the LawnScape well outlet, which is extremely popular for discharge lines on sump pumps to direct water away from the home. Graig can now rest easy knowing that his basement will be dry and healthy.

MidAmerica appreciates Graig's business. The team is happy that they were able to not only help Graig waterproof his basement, but was also able to ensure that Graig got everything he wanted...and nothing he didn't!

Waterproofing and Crawlspace Encapsulation in Cedar Rapids

Jessica was tired of dealing with water in her basement and having to look at a dreary crawlspace. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems by a past customer to have a free estimate done.

After giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Joe Sarb to come diagnose the basement and crawlspace. Joe decided the best solution for the water issue was to install a TripleSafe pumping system to pump the water out and away from the home. Also, a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system to make sure the water has a way to travel to the pumping system. Finally, BrightWall strips to protect form the water coming in through the walls of the basement. For the crawlspace, Joe proposed encapsulating the entire area with CleanSpace, this will fully encapsulate the crawlspace making it cleaner and nearly impossible for animals to get in. Jessica is very happy with the work MidAmerica Basement Systems did and now has a care free basement.

Dry Basement in Cedar Rapids

Jamie was afraid her drain tile would become clogged like it had in the past and she really wanted to finish her basement. She was referred to MidAmerica Basement Systems to get a free estimate.

Soon after giving them a call, an appointment was set up for Mike Banks to come evaluate the basement. Mike decided the best solution for the water problem was to install a TripleSafe pumping system and a full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system around the basement. The TripleSafe pumping system will keep the basement dry and be able to keep up with any rain storm. The full perimeter of WaterGuard drainage system will make sure the water is directed to the pumping system throughout the entire business. Since Jamie also wanted to finish her basement, Mike proposed the Basement to Beautiful panels. These panels are a good look and will keep the water out.

Jamie could not be happier with her decision to have her basement waterproofed by MidAmerica Basement Systems. She no longer has to worry about water coming in her home when it rains.
