Challenge
Mary’s basement was finished, but before it was ever waterproofed, leading to a ruined basement. Her flooring and portions of her walls were destroyed, and her basement was still leaking. MidAmerica Basement Systems was contacted and a waterproofing system was installed to keep her basement dry, but still had a ruined basement.
Solution
It was offered to her to have ThermalDry Flooring installed in her basement. ThermalDry Flooring is a tile on a peg-raised system that allows for air and water movement to happen without damaging the flooring. The peg system is a special feature that prevents the porous, damp, cold concrete from collecting moisture under the floor tiles, and provides a thermal break. Each ThermalDry Floor tile uses an interlocking-snap system for easy installation, and quick tear-apart if needed. Using all inorganic materials, ThermalDry Flooring will never rot, mold, chip, bubble, or be ruined by water or moisture.
