Before, the basement had repeated water intrusion because there was not an efficient sump pump or waterproofing systems in place to protect it.
A long view of the perimeter before waterproofing.
Cracks were allowing water to come in and run down the basement walls and onto the foundation floor.
The cracks allowed water to drip down the walls, leaving unsightly trails of water intrusion/damage.
The team often faces a series of obstructions on any given project, such as electrical power boxes that would inhibit an effective waterproofing system.
The area of the space designated for the installation of the new and improved sump pump, SuperSump!
An effective waterproofing system should be able to cover the entire wall, to drain all wall leaks away from the basement.
CleanSpace liners are an innovative product that is durable and yet flexible, providing excellent coverage from the top to the bottom.
The perimeter is waterproofed with CleanSpace liners that are secured into WaterGuard which will drain leaks to the SuperSump.
The professionals are specially trained and are able to waterproof the space despite obstruction. CleanSpace liners are expertly secured around the electrical box to effectively waterproof the space.
The team constructs discharge lines to carry pumped water out of the space.
The SuperSump, WaterGuard and CleanSpace work great to provide a dryer basement for these homeowners!
Project Info

When Edward and Bonnie C. from Eldridge noticed water in their basement, they were referred to the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. When the coupled called, they explained that water comes in on the side and down the basement walls. The team installed a CleanSpace liner to the foundation walls to drain wall leaks to the perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard. WaterGuard will then drain rising water and wall leaks to the newly installed, SuperSump sump pump system. The homeowners also utilized a discount MidAmerica Basement Systems offers veterans and active duty officials through Military Cost Cutters which saved them money on the project. Edward and Bonnie are happy to have the help of the team in creating a dryer basement!
