Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bettendorf homeowners know this struggle: the "before" photo shows exactly where water and drafts were trying to move into Nana’s basement for good. Wanting a dry, cozy space for a future remodel, she called in the pros.

Salesman Jason Feldmann designed a custom waterproof strategy, and Foreman Jacob Schultz led the crew to execute the mission. Using our powerhouse trio—WaterGuard, SuperSump, and CleanSpace—they transformed a damp liability into a protected sanctuary.

Check out the "after" photo! Thanks to Jason and Jacob, the moisture is gone, the drafts are sealed, and this basement is finally ready to reach its full potential.

As you can see in the ‘before’ photo, this Bettendorf, IA home's basement wasn't winning any awards for comfort. Cold drafts and water had a little too much freedom to make themselves at home.

But take a look at the "after" picture! Our expert salesman, Jason Feldmann, met with the homeowners to design a custom solution, and then Jacob Schultz and his crew took over as foreman to bring the vision to life.

We got this basement runway-ready with our trio of main acts:

WaterGuard: To catch seepage at the source.

SuperSump: The heart of the system, pumping water out and away.

CleanSpace: A durable vapor barrier that brightens the room and blocks moisture.

The combined power of these stars created a warm, dry, and comfortable area. Now, this room is waiting to become whatever her imagination desires. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we're all about turning less-than-ideal spaces into homeowner dreams.

When our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems received a call from a homeowner in Bettendorf, IA, we knew exactly how to help her reclaim her basement space. Her vision was to finish the basement into a cozy, livable area—free from cold drafts and pesky water leaks.

Jason Feldmann headed out to the property armed with a pack full of tools and years of knowledge. Jason performed a thorough inspection, keeping his eyes peeled for every clue this "mildly devious" basement environment had to offer. He concluded that a powerhouse combination of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage, the SuperSump pump system, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier would be the ultimate defense against future wet mishaps.

Once the plan was set, it was time for the heavy lifting. Jacob Schultz and his highly skilled production crew descended onto the task like geese on breadcrumbs. Under Jacob’s watchful eye, the team executed a flawless installation:

WaterGuard: Discreetly installed along the inner perimeter to intercept seepage.

SuperSump: The heart of the operation, ready to dispatch unwanted water at top speed.

CleanSpace: The final touch, enveloping the area to reinforce the defense and radiate cleanliness.

The end result? A basement reclaimed from its unruly water inclinations and buzzing with potential. Whether it becomes a spot for game nights, a guest bedroom, or just a quiet escape from the chaos, she can now venture below ground level with a bounce in her step.

No more unwanted chills, no more leaks, and definitely no more "aquatic drama." Thanks to the expertise of Jason Feldmann and the hard work of Jacob Schultz, this space finally lives up to its snug, newfangled purpose!
