Why CleanSpace and the TripleSafe Saves Your Home

A customer in Cedar Rapids, IA, was having water coming in left and right from the recent Iowa rain and was so sick of it flooding his basement. He wanted a cleaner, brighter solution that would also create healthier air for the rest of the home and remove the mold issue. He called MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free, in-home solution and quote. 

The expert inspector, Daniel, observed the basement and created the custom quote. He noticed a lot of water, water within the walls and humidity. He sat down with the customer after his assessment and recommended he get the CleanSpace Encapsulation System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump installed in his basement in order to mitigate these issues. The homeowner was quickly scheduled for an install date to get the work done! 

On the day of the project, Foreman Jose and his crew member, Scott, prepped the basement by removing any debris and the old sump. This included breaking out part of the floor to create space for the WaterGuard to go in. Then, they installed the CleanSpace drainage matting onto the walls. This dimpled polyethylene membrane allows water to flow to the TripleSafe sump pump or perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard. Next, the installers rolled out the 20-millimeter-thick, polyester-cord-reinforced CleanSpace onto the walls and floors of the crawl space. CleanSpace has multiple layers of plastics with puncture-free, tear-resistant and antimicrobial qualities. Most importantly, CleanSpace will keep moisture and mold out due to being a durable vapor barrier. 

This happy customer can now breathe in cleaner air and have peace of mind that their basement is protected against water damage, permanently.
