WaterGuard Installed in Dubuque, IA Home

Wendy and Jacqueline of Dubuque had a sump pump installed so they could finish their basement. After a couple of years, with their basement finished, they started noticing that along the bottom of the walls, they were warping and growing mold. The experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems had informed Wendy and Jacqueline that when their basement leaked, there was no direction for the water to run to the sump pump. They suggested installing WaterGuard, so next time the basement leaked, it would be directed to the sump pump, instead of pooling and being absorbed by the drywall.
