Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Ashton IL

When the folks over in Ashton, IL reached out to us, they were grappling with a homeowner’s nightmare: water in their beautifully finished basement. The thought of rain or melting snow was enough to keep them up at night, anxious about the potential damage to their cozy space. They needed a solution that would put their worries to bed, permanently. After reaching out to our customer care team, they were quickly set up with an appointment. Our System Design Specialist paid a visit, fully inspecting the basement and diagnosing the issue. The prescription? WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and CleanSpace. We were poised to turn their wet basement fears into a waterproofed haven of dry and comfort. Our production crew arrived with a clear plan and a keen readiness. Slicing precisely alongside the perimeter of the basement, they laid down the WaterGuard, a piping system ingeniously designed to catch any intruding water and redirect it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This isn’t your average sump pump, by any stretch. Equipped with not one, not two, but three pumps, it guarantees a dry basement even in the toughest conditions — power outage, primary pump failure, or an unusually heavy rain event? No problem. And as for CleanSpace? This carefully installed liner added that extra protective barrier on the walls, scrapping any chances of moisture or creepers turning the walls into their new home. By the end of our time there, the basement was transformed into the water-free oasis the homeowners dreamed of. Peace of mind was fully restored with the knowledge that their living space was secured against future water menaces. No more restless nights worrying about incoming storms. Just a comfortable, dry basement ready to be enjoyed year-round,

Bill and Susan were noticing that their basement carpet was being to smell musty and moldy, but didn’t know why. When the pulled up the carpet they noticed that the entire underside had become black. The damp, cold concrete was causing the carpet to absorb the moisture leading to the mold growth. They were afraid to install new carpet with the fear that the same thing will happen until they heard of the solution from MidAmerica Basement Systems. ThermalDry Flooring is a peg-raised flooring tile that allows for air movement under the flooring, drying up the moisture and preventing the flooring from becoming wet. ThermalDry Flooring is also made out of inorganic materials which prevent the growth of mold if they were to become completely wet. The interlocking tiles can easily be removed to dry the area under the tiles and offer a thermal break from the cold, damp ground. Bill and Susan no longer worry about replacing their flooring in the basement thanks to the ThermalDry Flooring tiles.

Ryan's basement was flooding a lot. His house is at the bottom of a hill and water was running into the driveway. Since his curbs are level with the street, so every time it would rain,  the water would go into his basement. Ryan asked his friend, a former customer of MidAmerica Basement Systems, who to call.

Our system design specialist, Mike Banks was able to reccommend a reasonably priced system that would help solve Ryan's problem once and for all.

Our team, lead by foreman Robbie Stoltenberg, installed a new CleanSpace wall, and a full perimeter waterproofing system.  

For Ryan, a damp basement is a thing of the past!
