Photo Album: Basement with Water Intrusion is Waterproofed in Cedar Rapids, IA
James P. from Cedar Rapids was noticing repeated a lot of water intrusion in their basement whenever it would rain. James called the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems and explained to the team that he had several cracks in his basement walls that tend to leak during heavy rain events and that he would like would like a quote on what it will cost to waterproof his basement. MidAmerica offers free inspection and same day quotes to all of our customers and James was happy about the proposal.
The team installed a CleanSpace liner to the foundation walls to drain water intrusion through the cracks to the perimeter drainage system. The patented WaterGuard was installed as the perimeter drainage system to drain wall leaks and rising ground water to the local sump pump, in this case the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump.
Now James feels great about his newly waterproofed basement and no longer worries when it rains!

This is the perimeter before WaterGuard.
Inefficient Sump Pump
This basement was vulnerable to repeated water intrusion partly because the sump pump was not efficient.

WaterGuard Protects Perimeter

The Dream Team
TripleSafe, the ultimate sump pump with the patented WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and CleanSpace liners on the foundation walls work in perfect harmony to keep this basement dry all the time!
