Before & After

In the first photo, you see a familiar foe. This East Peoria home was slowly losing its struggle against foundation settlement, resulting in visible stress, shifting walls, and a loss of structural integrity. Without intervention, the damage—and the homeowner's stress—was only going to sink deeper.
Notice the difference? That’s the "magic" of a customer-first approach. To restore this home, our team didn't just apply a bandage; we engineered a permanent fix:
The result is a home that looks upright, proper, and—most importantly—permanent. We didn't just restore the house's value; we restored the homeowner's comfort. It’s like the settlement never even happened.
Rich H. of Tremont, IL called MidAmerica Basement Systems with interest in getting both of his crawlspaces encapsulated in a home he recently purchased. The home was built in 1978 with two crawlspaces on opposite ends of the basement. Rich met with design specialist Dan Garner. Dan recommended SilverGlo Insulation Panels, CleanSpace Drainage Matting and CleanSpace. The crawlspaces both look great! Here's one before and after!
David was having issues with water seeping in through the wall and floor joints of his basement and decided to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was offered a waterproofing system that used WaterGuard and CleanSpace Liner. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement to collect the seeping water along the joints. Due to the walls and floor being poured as a whole, weep holes were drilled into the walls to allow for water to come in, and CleanSpace Liner was installed over top the holes. CleanSpace acts a moisture barrier, aiding in the collecting of water to redirect the water to the WaterGuard. Water now properly flows towards the sump pump to be discharged out to the basement, leaking the area dry.
Before: A homeowner in Tremont, IL, was facing every homeowner’s nightmare: foundation walls starting to cave inward. The structural integrity of their home was at risk, and the stress was mounting.
After: Harmony restored. Our team reinforced the foundation using GeoLock Wall Anchors and CleanSpace vapor barriers. As you can see, those walls are now snug, secure, and permanently stabilized. We don’t just patch cracks; we deliver long-term peace of mind.
Rock Falls homeowners, Catherine and Mike, called MidAmerica Basement Systems after finding water was coming in through their floor and wall joints in their basement. They met with design specialist Mac McDaniel, who proposed a custom solution for them. With WaterGuard, CleanSpace Wall, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump, their basement will be dry for many years to come!
