Reducing Moisture Levels in Basement in Tampico, IL
Tuesday, November 28th, 2017 by Abigail Kludt
Challenge
While the existing sump pump addressed floor-level flooding, Jennifer faced three distinct problems that threatened the integrity of her home:
- Window Seepage: Traditional basement windows were failing, allowing exterior runoff to enter the living space.
- External Water Pooling: Lack of proper drainage at the window openings meant water sat directly against the foundation.
- Excessive Humidity: Persistent moisture was driving up humidity levels, creating an environment prone to musty odors and potential mold growth.
Solution
By addressing the "above-ground" vulnerabilities and the air quality simultaneously, MidAmerica Basement Systems provided Jennifer with a holistic waterproofing solution. Her basement is now protected from both rising groundwater and surface runoff, while the SaniDry Sedona ensures the space remains dry, smelling fresh, and comfortable year-round.
