In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner intended to use the basement of their newly purchased home for storage but was shocked to discover the basement flooded with heavy rains. We stepped in to help, using our WaterGuard system to address the leak and installed a CleanSpace liner for protection. We also introduced the TripleSafe sump pump to ensure long-term dryness, and reinforced the walls with our PowerBrace's. In the after photo, the basement reflects our mission with a clean, stable environment ready for storage.
Despite having a sump pump, this Cedar Rapids, IA basement still faced persistent water issues, leaving belongings vulnerable to damage. In the before photo you can see the current system they had in place. We stepped in with a comprehensive solution featuring our WaterGuard system, CleanSpace liner, and TripleSafe sump pump. Notice in the after photo that the basement waterproofing system is now entirely upgraded to keep the basement completely dry and safeguarded. Our reliable products and precise installation ensured a watertight finish, illustrating our commitment to delivering a cleaner, safer home environment.
Got a sinking feeling about your concrete? As you can see in the Cedar Rapids before photo, this homeowner’s walkway had a serious case of the droops. Thankfully, uneven steps aren't our style.
Our System Design Specialist, Shawn Conaway, assessed the site and mapped out the perfect restoration plan. Then, Foreman Justin Maddox and his crew member, Tanner, brought in the heavy lifters: PolyLevel and NexusPro.
The team used PolyLevel to gently lift the slabs back into perfect alignment, while NexusPro joined forces to seal and protect, keeping those pesky cracks from reopening all year round. We take pride in turning those stressed-out sighs into satisfied smiles, making your concrete woes a thing of the past!
A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, faced a tilted front sidewalk that was actively directing surface water runoff straight beneath their porch deck, putting both the porch structure and home foundation at risk of severe water damage. Left unchecked, the pooling water threatened to wash away the supporting subgrade soil and compromise the long-term structural integrity of the home.
To eliminate the hazard without invasive concrete demolition, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet evaluated the site and designed a targeted repair strategy using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration with precision. The team strategically drilled pea-sized injection ports through the tilted sidewalk slabs and injected high-strength PolyLevel polyurethane foam into the underlying subbase. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled subterranean voids, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the sunken concrete back to a stable, level plane, properly redirecting water flow away from the porch and foundation. The crew patched the injection holes, leaving behind a safe, fully stabilized sidewalk engineered to protect the property for years to come.
In her rental property, Iowa City landlord had a water system installed by a different company. When the drainage tile tore, she decided to call the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist Mike Darnell came out to custom design a solution. Now, the basement is nice and dry and will stay that way!
