Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Gerlaw, IL

Waterproofing your basement prevents outside water from coming in, but what if a pipe bursts or the water heater leaks inside the home? A newly finished basement done by your average contractor will mold and rot if there is an internal leak. You'll have to tear out your new basement! We fix this issue.

Our Products Include :
  • Waterproof, washable, insulated walls           
  • Mold-Resistant, No-Sag suspended ceiling
  • Modular carpet, tile & faux wood flooring

  • Energy-efficient, double-paned basement windows
  • Attractive Sunhouse basement window wells
  • French, bifold, louvre & six-paneled steel doors
Unlike the average Gerlaw contractor, we use completely inorganic, waterproof materials. Even if the basement floods, your walls and floors will not be damaged by the water. These waterproof products are patented and are built to create an attractive finished basement that lasts a lifetime.

Bowing Walls Become Stabilized in Gerlaw, IL

Betty was having concerns with the foundation crack she found in her basement. She quickly reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her issues resolved. During inspection it was noted that her wall was bowing and could be permanently stabilized. A GeoLock Wall Anchor system was installed to stop the wall from worsening. The large GeoLock Anchors were placed on the outside of her home deep in the ground to provide the proper counter act on the inward bowing wall. Once the plates were installed on the inside of the wall, the system was tightened to ensure the wall would not bow anymore inward. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system also offers the potential to tighten and straighten the wall over time, reducing the bow completely.
