Before & After

Curtis was tired of the ugly crack that run up and down his driveway. It had caused the sidewalk to become uneven, and it had sunk around the garage. He had heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems’ new injection technology, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that fills voids and lifts and raises sunk slabs to their original state. After the voids were filled and the concrete was back to level, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to the large crack along the driveway. The once ugly crack and unlevel driveway Curtis had is now level, and a crack that is unnoticeable.
Foundation cracks are common due to the curing process of concrete over the years, but when the cause groundwater to leak in, it is best to have the issue address sooner rather than later. Injecting a FlexiSpan sealant not only waterproofs the foundation crack, but permanently seals the crack. The high-viscosity polyurethane polymer sealant sets deep into the crack, with a durable, flexible strength. This allows for the FlexiSpan to expand and shrink with the cold and warm, frost and thaw cycles that are commonly found in Illinois. Without the flexibility, the cracks would reopen and become larger over time.
Terri came home from work one day to find that her sump pump had quit working during a large rain storm, leaving a mess everywhere in her basement. She quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her sump replaced. Adao had proposed installing a SuperSump with an UltraSump Battery Back-up and WaterWatch. With a new sump pump, Terri will not have to worry about her pump going out, especially during a power outage. The UltraSump Battery Back-up allows for the pump to continue discharging water from the home when there is not electricity. The WaterWatch will also alerts when the pump has not turned on, helping prevent any floods from happening.
Damp, cold crawlspaces can dramatically damage your home. The wooden floor joists absorb the moisture, causing the floor systems to weaken and rot, while cold, musty air rises into your home, leaving a bad odor and hazardous health conditions. A total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace, allows for the ground to be permanently sealed off from the crawlspace, allowing for the floor systems to stay dry, and keep to cold, musty smells out of the home. CleanSpace is a thick liner, much like a pool liner, that provides durability against rips and tears, and is infused with an antimicrobial material that prevents mold growth.
The storage room at All Makes Office Furniture has leaked for many years, and was left unattended, leaving the area “just-right” for mold to grow. When MidAmerica Basement Systems crew members arrived, Mold X was applied to all the affected walls before they could go any further with the process. Trenches were dug around the perimeter of the foundation so WaterGuard could be installed. CleanSpace was applied to all the walls, preventing moisture from entering, and to help prevent future mold growth. Two TripleSafe sumps were installed with the original sump, to properly accommodate the amounts of water the enter the building. The waterproofing systems have dramatically changed the environment of the storage room, allowing from a dry and usable space.
