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.

A homeowner in Oelwein, IA was working on having their basement finished after having their basement waterproofed. They wanted a subflooring to create a space that they could use for recreational or storage purposes.

TheremalDry Basement Flooring Systems is the answer. It comes in four great styles: carpet, parquet wood, tile, and unfinished. It transforms your cold, damp flooring into a beautiful, comfortable space. It is designed with pegs at the bottom of each tile. This allows the flooring to sit above the concrete allowing it to breathe. Since it creates a subfloor the flooring cannot rot, grow mold, or get damaged from a water leak. If anything would happen to a tile it can be easily removed to be replaced.

Now the homeowner will not only enjoy their new waterproofing system, but also the great new, stylish flooring they had installed. If you too are looking to have your home waterproofed or have your basement finished, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!
