Finishing a basement before it is waterproofed is never a good choice. At some point the floors and walls will begin to leak, ruining the basement. As for Aj and Pat, this was just the case. The paneling that had be placed on the walls was hiding a leaking issue, slowly causing the finished walls to warp and rot. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their situation looked at. It was addressed that a foundation crack was causing the walls to leak and ruin the walls. A WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect any and all seeping water. A TripleSafe sump was also installed to discharge water out of the home.
Leaking pipes are very common, and when they are placed behind walls, leaks go unattended until it is too late. At Aj’s home in East Moline, leaking pipes in his basement went unnoticed due to wall paneling, causing mold growth, moisture damage, and musty smells. Installing a TripleSafe and WaterGuard system from MidAmerica Basement Systems helps prevent future mold growth and moisture/water damage, and prevents musty smells. To repair the damaged walls, installing EverLast Wall Panels not only offers insulation, but will not be damaged by mold or moisture. The high-density closed cell foam insulated walls will not absorb water or moisture, preventing warping and rotting. The EveryLast panels also give the basement a finished look that works with any basement environment.
