MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Waterproofing a leaky basement in Mendota, IL. 

Homeowner Robert was concerned about the water issues in his home. He thought he needed a new sump pump. When he made an appointment with MidAmerica Basement Systems he was eager to learn what kinds of problems he was really having. After meeting with Design Specialist Troy Hamilton and learning about the problems he was having and why he knew it was a good idea to have a ne sump pump and a full perimeter WaterGuard system.  The new TripleSafe sump pump is a three-pump system that comes fully equipped with a battery back up and a WaterWatch Alarm. The batter back up is used to keep the sump pup working just in case you experience the loss of power during a storm. The WaterWatch Alarm is a small alarm placed in the top of the pump that will alert you incase the pump ever has a chance of flowing over the top of the pump.

Lifting and leveling a driveway and walkway in Mackinaw, IL 

Byron was not happy that his sidewalk had sunken to his porch, causing a large step up, making it difficult for his family to enter his home. He was unsure of how to fix his problem and called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist, Dan, offered the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that fills the voids under concrete, creating a stable solution. Once the PolyLevel reacts, it lifts to sunken slabs to the original height. With the sidewalk being back to its original height, Byron’s family can now easily access his porch to his home.

Byron was having issues with sunken areas in his driveway, leaving it unsafe and decreasing the value of his home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway mudjacked. Once Dan arrived at Byron’s home, he offered him a better solution than mudjacking. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that fills the voids under concrete, and reacts to lift, level and stabilize the slab. The martial is waterproof, preventing it from washing out much like mudjacking, offering a more permanent solution to concrete leveling. The fast reaction time also allows for a precise and accurate lift and level.
