A homeowner in Moline, Illinois, struggled with a deteriorating foundation wall and a wet basement that threatened both the structural stability and safety of their home. Uncontrolled hydrostatic pressure in the surrounding soil caused the foundation walls to bow inward, while moisture constantly seeped into the living space, creating a damp, unusable environment.
To resolve both structural and water intrusion issues without invasive excavation, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet evaluated the site and designed a comprehensive repair strategy using the PowerBrace™ System, WaterGuard® Interior Drainage, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, and the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. arrived on-site to execute the dual-phase restoration. The team stabilized the failing foundation walls by securing heavy-duty steel PowerBrace beams along the interior wall plane to stop inward movement and allow for potential future tightening. Next, the crew installed the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage channel along the footing, connecting it directly to a TripleSafe sump pump system to reliably capture and discharge intruding groundwater far away from the foundation.
Finally, Justin and Devin S. lined the walls with the durable CleanSpace vapor barrier, preventing moisture vapor from entering the basement air and directing wall seepage down into the drainage system. The crew finished the installation and cleaned the site, leaving behind a fully stabilized, dry, and usable basement environment built to last.
Pam from Galesburg, IL was sick of her basement being damaged by water intrusion. She reached out to the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems and they installed the SuperSump to address the water intrusion. They installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace to the damaged walls. The team installed EverLast Finished Wall Restoration System to give the space a finished look that will not be damaged by water and mold because it is made with inorganic materials. Before the space was damp and dank with mold growth. Now Pam has a basement that is clean, great looking and dry!

The team installed the patented Powerbrace system to permanently stabilize the walls and potentially improve the condition of the walls over time.
