After living in their home for a year and a half, these Dunlap, IA homeowners were dismayed to discover water intrusion in their crawl space. The water was leading to mold growth and they were rightly concerned about the potential long-term structural damage. To protect their investment and health, they contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. We transformed the space utilizing our encapsulation system. This system fully sealed the space with a thick, pool-liner-like material called CleanSpace. CleanSpace eliminates moisture and prevents mold growth in the space. By eliminating these dark, wet conditions, the system also keeps out insects and pests that thrive there. Most importantly, since air from the crawl space rises into the main living area, encapsulation significantly improves the overall air quality of their home by reducing mold spores, musty odors, and humidity. Thanks to the full encapsulation, they now enjoy a healthier, protected home.

Jeff didn’t mind rain, unless there were large amounts of rainfall. His sump pump worked fine, but during large amounts, his basement seemed to still become wet in some areas. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his pump looked at. He was offered a WaterGuard system to help prevent water from surfacing during heavy rainfalls. Water collects in WaterGuard and is than redirected to the sump pump where it is properly discharged out of his basement. Thanks to the additional help of WaterGuard, no amount of rain bothers Jeff.
