This Thomson, IL homeowner had water leaking in through some old basement windows, so she decided to call MidAmerica Basement Systems. With new windows keeping the water out, the homeowner is happy to come home to a dry basement.
Faced with an unstable foundation, these homeowners in Thompson, IL, wanted to ensure their property's stability before selling. As you can see in the before photo, the foundation walls showed signs of failure, a critical issue for their peace of mind and market value. We installed our PowerBrace system, a proven solution, which is evident in the after photo. This system involves zinc-plated steel beams that are custom-fit and anchored securely. With this durable installation, the foundation is stable, making a safe transformation possible without any invasive work.
Vernon was concerned about the mold smell in his basement and contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his home evaluated. Behind the drywall there was a leaking issue that has caused mold and warping to the walls. A WaterGuard and TripleSafe system was installed to address the leaking basement. As for the walls, EverLast Wall Panels were installed along the areas of drywall that have been affected with moisture and mold damage. The EverLast Wall Panels offer a waterproof solution to prevent future water and mold growth. Vernon now has a proper waterproofing system for his finished basement.
Faced with water intrusion and mold in the crawlspace, a homeowner in Mapleton, IL turned to us for help. Notice in the before photo the signs of moisture damage creating a breeding ground for mold and musty odors. Our expert team addressed these issues with the CleanSpace system, SmartDrain, Drainage Matting, and the powerful Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Now, the after photo shows a clean, dry crawlspace, ensuring a healthy home environment and protecting the structure.
Before our intervention in Mapleton, IL, the homeowner faced significant crawl space issues, with moisture threatening mold control and inviting pests. As shown in the photo, the conditions were concerning. The damp atmosphere speaks to the challenges commonly seen in many homes, where unsealed crawl spaces allow moisture to seep in, creating a breeding ground for wood rot and unwanted pests.
We addressed these issues with our reliable IceGuard® discharge line protection, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and Drainage Matting system. This thorough repair and waterproofing work was executed by our expert production team at MidAmerica Basement Systems, led by Foreman Jacob Quinn. The crew carefully sealed the crawl space with the durable vapor barrier liner to completely isolate the home from the damp earth, while the drainage matting was laid down to channel away any pooled moisture beneath the liner. Outside, the patented discharge system ensures that water continues to exit safely even if the outdoor lines freeze during severe winter weather.
In the after photo, you can see a spotless, dry area, reflecting our meticulous attention to detail. Our patented solutions demonstrated effectiveness incomparable to those used by others, ensuring a durable, clean environment under the home and providing the homeowner with ultimate peace of mind.
