In the cold winter months, it is common for pipes to freeze, causing sump systems to back-up and flood into your basement. With the proper discharge line and IceGuard, MidAmerica Basement Systems can provide the ease during the freezing months. IceGuard allows for water to be discharge from the home while preventing water from freezing during discharge.
Large settlement cracks had become an issue for Wynn’s driveway, stretching from one side to the other. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue addressed. PolyLevel was injected under the slabs to lift and level them back to their original position, stabilizing the area and filling the voids. After PolyLevel, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to all areas of the cracks. NexusPro helps prevent future cracking and seals off the area from seeping water. When water enters the area, it allows for ground washouts and settlement, which cause the slabs to sink and cracks. NexusPro also has a strong, flexible bond that allows for movement between the cold and hot seasons.
Bill was having issues with a foundation leak repair, leaking once again only months after it was applied. He reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his repair checked and properly fixed. Due to the common sealant that was originally injected in the crack, it had dried and shrank, leaving the sealant to crack and break. The old sealant was replaced with FlexiSpan injections to properly adhere and seal the crack. FlexiSpan is a high-density polyurethane sealant that flexes and expands with the natural movement of the earth and foundation of the home, giving the permanent bond necessary for crack. FlexiSpan prevents the crack from worsening and seals the area from moisture and water seepage, leaving the basement dry.
Scott was concerned about his unlevel driveway. Some areas had sunk leaving tripping hazards, making it unsafe for his children to play basketball in the driveway. He needed to level the area and when he saw his neighbors installing PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems, he quickly contacted them. Cole evaluated the driveway and talked about the advantages of PolyLevel. The high-density polymers quickly react to fill voids and lift the concrete with accurate results. The quick reactions prevent under- and over-lifting of the slabs, and allowing for the injected area to be accessed within minutes of application. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied to all the cracks to seal them from future rainfall. Diverting the water away from the ground under the concrete, helps creates a longer-lasting level and stable driveway.
Mark and Shawn recently purchased a home with a finished basement and were told not to worry about it becoming damaged because a sump pump had been installed. One day after a heavy rain, they began to notice water seeping in around the corner of the basement, making the floors and walls wet. When they looked deeper into the issue, large damage was found behind the drywall. Mark and Shawn quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the issue. CleanSpace Liner was installed along the concrete foundation to help control the moisture issues and WaterGuard was installed along the floor and wall joint to collect the seeping water and help redirect it to the existing sump pump. Now Mark and Shawn have a proper waterproofing system that will prevent future damage to the finished basement.
