Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The before photo shows a basement plagued with moisture and the potential for mold in Silvis, IL. The homeowner wanted to eliminate the mess and make the basement a dry, usable space. To tackle this, we at MidAmerica Basement Systems installed a reliable waterproofing system featuring WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. As seen in the after photo, these installations transformed the basement into a dry and healthy area ready to be transformed for use. Our more than 35 years in the business means effective, enduring solutions you can trust from a family owned company that always puts homeowners first. 

In Silvis, IL, our customer had grand aspirations for a backyard waterfall, but they certainly didn’t want one inside their home! As you can see in the soggy "before" photo, water kept crashing the party, putting their dreams of a finished basement on hold.

Salesman Jason Feldmann and Foreman Jacob Oetzman led the charge to turn this damp dungeon into a dry delight. Our team sprang into action with a trio of reliable solutions:

WaterGuard: To expertly route incoming water away from the living space.

CleanSpace: To seal out moisture and keep the walls vapor-free.

TripleSafe Sump Pump: To give water its final marching orders and send it packing.

Thanks to the hard work of Jason, Jacob, and the crew, this surprisingly stylish subterranean sanctuary is finally ready for movie nights—no "Ghostbusters" gear required! It’s just another policy-protected, bone-dry success story from the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.

In East Moline, IL, a homeowner was battling a persistent, damp nightmare. Every rainstorm turned their basement into an accidental aquarium as water seeped through the walls and floors. The space was unusable, the air was heavy, and the concrete was beginning to show its age.

The MidAmerica Basement Systems team arrived to reclaim the space. We installed a heavy-duty defense system designed to keep the basement bone-dry forever:

• WaterGuard: Our sub-floor drainage system was tucked in to catch seepage before it ever hits the floor.
• TripleSafe Sump Pump: The "superhero" of pumps was installed to ensure that even during a power outage, the water stays out.
• PolyLevel & NexusPro: We didn't just stop at the water—we lifted the sunken concrete and sealed the cracks, making the surfaces look brand new.

The Result? A high-and-dry retreat that adds real value to the home. No more damp smells, no more stress—just a beautiful, solid foundation.

The homeowners now have a safe, stable and dry basement!
