Before our intervention in Mapleton, IL, the homeowner faced significant crawl space issues, with moisture threatening mold control and inviting pests. As shown in the photo, the conditions were concerning. The damp atmosphere speaks to the challenges commonly seen in many homes, where unsealed crawl spaces allow moisture to seep in, creating a breeding ground for wood rot and unwanted pests.
We addressed these issues with our reliable IceGuard® discharge line protection, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and Drainage Matting system. This thorough repair and waterproofing work was executed by our expert production team at MidAmerica Basement Systems, led by Foreman Jacob Quinn. The crew carefully sealed the crawl space with the durable vapor barrier liner to completely isolate the home from the damp earth, while the drainage matting was laid down to channel away any pooled moisture beneath the liner. Outside, the patented discharge system ensures that water continues to exit safely even if the outdoor lines freeze during severe winter weather.

Replacing Failing Pump with a TripleSafe Sump in Mapleton, IL
One night during many days of rain, Gary’s pump had quit working, leaving his basement flooded. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a new sump installed. While his situation was being inspected, it was noted that the pump was too small to accompany the amount of water that was entering his basement. Gary was offered a new TripleSafe sump to accommodate the entering water, and prevent over working of the pump and reducing over-use of the new pump. The TripleSafe sump also offers a battery back-up to ensure the water will still be pumped out of the basement during pump failures and power outages.
