Basement Waterproofing System Keeps Homeowner Happy in Depue, IL

Challenge
Michael was initially thrilled with his recent home addition, but the excitement quickly turned to frustration. Within months of completion, he discovered water seeping through the new foundation. Faced with the risk of property damage and mold, Michael needed a permanent solution that would protect his investment.
Solution
Michael reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the moisture intrusion. Our team designed a multi-layered approach to ensure the basement remained dry and energy-efficient:
- WaterGuard® Sub-Floor Drainage: Installed along the perimeter to intercept hydrostatic pressure and seepage before it reaches the floor.
- SuperSump® System: A high-volume sump pump was integrated to efficiently discharge collected water away from the foundation.
- SilverGlo™ Wall Insulation: To provide an extra layer of protection, we installed SilverGlo™ panels, which combine high-performance insulation with a built-in radiant barrier to improve thermal retention.
