Photo Album: Increasing Basement Waterproofing System in Plainfield, IA
Irene was having concerns about her basement. Water was seeping in her cracks along the walls, leaving large messes when it rained. She already had two sump pumps, and couldn’t understand why she was still have water concerns. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her problem solved once and for all. During inspection, Wes had proposed installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe. CleanSpace was placed along the walls that had cracks, providing a moisture barrier and a way to direct water to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard collects the water that enters in the basement, preventing it from surfacing. With WaterGuard and CleanSpace in place, water is directed to the TripleSafe and existing sump pumps to be properly discharged out of Irene’s home.
