A homeowner in Peoria Heights, IL reached out to us because their crawl space had taken on extreme water, threatening the home's structure. You can see the issue in the before photo, moisture was becoming a serious concern. In the after photo, our CleanSpace vapor barrier and Drainage Matting transformed the space into a dry, clean environment, protecting the foundation. With over 35 years of family-owned experience, we turned this moisture-packed crawl space into a more secure and efficient part of their home.
Betsy was becoming very upset, every time it rained, her basement would become wet even though she had a sump pump. She began questioning if the pump was working and reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her issue looked at. It was addressed that there was large leak from the foundation wall that was causing seepage and a wet basement. She was offered a CleanSpace Liner to help reduce the moisture and redirect the water down the wall and into a WaterGuard system. Once the water collected in the WaterGuard, it would then be redirected to the sump pump where it would be discharged instead of collecting and surfacing on her floor.
In Bradford, Illinois, a homeowner faced a dangerous hazard from uneven, sinking concrete around their property. Unsealed joints had allowed surface water to wash away the soil beneath the slabs, creating empty voids and causing the heavy concrete to settle unevenly.
To resolve the hazard without tearing up the concrete, System Design Specialist Rob Chismark developed a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized holes into the sunken slabs and injected high-density PolyLevel foam. As the foam expanded, it filled the empty voids underneath, compacted the loose soil, and lifted the concrete back to its original, level position.
Once the slabs were aligned, Justin and Devin S. applied NexusPro Joint Sealant across all open seams and cracks. This durable, waterproof seal prevents future rainwater from washing away the subgrade soil. The crew then patched the small injection holes, leaving behind a smooth, safe, and fresh-looking concrete surface that protects the homeowner and their guests.
The owner of this Groveland home was troubled by the high levels of radon found in their house so they trusted the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems to make their home safe again. The team installed Premium Radon Mitigation System and now the home is healthier and safer!
Emily had an older home with a limestone foundation. During heavy rains, water would seep in through the walls. She didn’t think there was a way to fix her leaking walls until her friend recommended MidAmerica Basement Systems. She was offered a CleanSpace Wall system to create a vapor barrier from the leaking walls. Water would then properly trickle down the wall and into a WaterGuard system to be redirected to a TripleSafe sump. Emily no longer finds visible water after it rains, in her basement.
