Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mark and Lenora G., La Moille, IL homeowners, were suffering from frequent water intrusion at the base of their basement walls. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems, and met with design specialist Dan Garner who helped them determine the problem, and the solution. Now, their basement is very dry, and they are very happy! Part of their solution included the addition of the TripleSafe Sump Pump, pictured here. 

Homeowner was experiencing water intrusion where the foundation walls meet the floor and through cracks in the floor. She called the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team sent an expert out to inspect the home and provide a free estimate within the same day. Excited about having these problems fixed, the team began the project.

To address water coming in from the perimeter, the team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is designed to drain wall leaks and rising ground water from the perimeter into the new SuperSump, which comes with special features that make it stand out among other sump pump systems such as a perforated and durable liner that allows ground water to drain into the unit, an airtight lid that allows water to drain into the unit but prevents water vapor to rise, and a WaterWatch alarm that will alert Amy if there are any problems.

The team constructed a discharge line that allowed water to be pumped to the LawnScape away from the home. To further protect Amy's basement during the cold winter months, the team installed IceGuard which is designed to eject water away from the foundation walls if a pipe freezes, preventing flooding.

MidAmerica has provided a better equipped basement for the rainy and cold season!

Barbara was tired of dealing with water in her basement. MidAmerica Basement Systems came and installed the patented WaterGuard drainage system to channel the water out of her home. Barbara is happy with the work that was done and not having to deal with it herself is a huge relief.

The homeowner wanted to waterproof and restore the basement walls. There had been signs of mold growth along the bottom half of the wall so the homeowner knew that they needed a solution that would not only be effective at waterproofing, but looked great as well. The homeowners gave MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. 

The first image, is the basement wall before being replaced with EverLast Wall Restoration Panels or the perimeter being waterproofed with WaterGuard XL. 

WaterGuard XL perimeter drainage system directs wall leaks as well as leaks coming from ground water surrounding the foundation to flow to the local sump pump. The EverLast Wall Restoraton panels are made of materials that are inorganic which is important when trying to minimize mold growth. Drainage matting is installed to help foundation wall leaks to drain to the WaterGuard XL. The CleanSpace is installed with the EverLast Wall Restoration panels to help keep water and vapor behind the liners for a dryer and healthier wall system. 

The homeowner now has basement walls that are not only efficient but gives the basement a cleaner, and warmer tone. 

This Wyoming, IL basement was experiencing some serious leaks anytime it rained. While it was already equipped with a sump pump, it just wasn't enough to keep the water out. We installed a full perimeter Waterguard System, with CleanSpace to seal the walls, and a brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The result is a clean, bright, and dry basement!
