Radon Mitigation System installed in Washington, IL home.
Waterproofed basement and new foundation in Washington, IL
In Washington, IL, settled concrete slabs were causing a potentially costly problem as water began seeping directly toward a home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the initial unevenness created a dangerous slope that funneled rainwater straight toward the structure instead of away from it.
MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a precise strategy to eliminate the risk of water damage and restore the concrete to its optimal condition. Our team first addressed the uneven slope by utilizing PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam. By injecting this high-strength foam beneath the sunken concrete, we gently lifted and permanently stabilized the slabs, successfully restoring a proper pitch that directs water safely away from the home.
To ensure long-term protection, our crew then applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out future moisture, preventing water from washing away the soil below and stopping the sinking cycle in its tracks. As shown in the after photo, the property now boasts a smooth, safe, and fully protected surface.

In the before photo, you can see a Wyanet, IL basement that we had recently waterproofed. The homeowner wanted to enhance the space further, so we helped by adding our Elite Plank flooring. This finishing touch not only elevated the aesthetic but also offered a durable, water-resistant solution perfect for a basement environment.
Darrell was having issues with water seeping and pooling in his basement and didn’t know what to do. When he heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems he quickly contacted them to have his issue fixed. During his inspection, it was offered that a waterproofing system that included CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump, be installed. The CleanSpace helps address the leaking foundation walls by placing a vapor barrier to help stop moisture from entering. It also helps direct water to the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a drainage system that collects water from under the foundation floor and water that seeps in from the walls. After water is collected in the WaterGuard, it is redirected to the SuperSump to be discharged from the home. Darrell now longer worries of a wet basement.
