Other Services Before & After Photos

When rain hits Morrison, Illinois, the last thing any homeowner wants is a basement that doubles as a collection pool. The "before" photo tells a familiar story: moisture seeping through the foundation and creating a persistent headache for the folks living above it. Dealing with a damp subterranean space is a drain on both your peace of mind and your property value, but these are exactly the kinds of challenges we’ve built our reputation on solving throughout the Midwest.

We stepped in to overhaul the area by installing a SunHouse Enclosure, a specialized solution designed to seal out the elements while adding a much-needed layer of protection to the home's exterior access points. As you can see in the "after" shot, the transformation is about more than just aesthetics; it is about creating a bone-dry environment that stays that way regardless of the forecast. It’s another successful project in the books, proving once again that the right foundation expertise can turn a compromised basement back into a functional, reliable part of the home.

The homeowner wanted to make an improvement on the old window system in the basement. The old window was made of metal and with time rusted. If the system rusts than the basic function of the window is compromised. The new Egress system are made of vinyl so no rusting. The window is also double paneled argon filled which will help to prevent air in or out of the basement, saving the homeowner money on their energy bills. The windows can actually be removed from inside (to allow for cleaning or allow for an easier exit if need be). These homeowners are happy to have made the change for a window system that is safer, better looking, and will save them some money!

Jamie wanted to replace her basement windows, but she also had a bigger goal: bringing more natural light into the space. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in and replaced the old windows, then upgraded the area with a Egress Window Enclosure. This unique system maximizes daylight, completely brightening up her basement. Jamie is absolutely thrilled with her new Egress Window enclosure and couldn't be happier with her overall experience with MidAmerica.

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a family wanted to transform part of their basement into a safe and inviting bedroom for their kids. Before we stepped in, the space lacked proper emergency access. As you can see in the before photo, the house awaited enhancement. We solved this by expertly installing a Rockwell Egress Window, ensuring safety and adherence to legal requirements. Notice in the after photo how the space now provides a secure access and exit point, aligning perfectly with their vision. With 35_ years under our belt, we put the homeowner first, delivering peace of mind and craftmanship. 

In Robins, IA a homeowner was faced with a leaking egress window. The water water was pooling in the well causing the homeowner to have to cover it with a tarp during rainy weather. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we knew just what to do. We addressed this by installing a brand new Rockwell Egress Window. To assure safe drainage and avoid water pooling in the well, we connected it with a sump pump. The after photo illustrates the transformation. This homeowner now has a secure and leak free egress window.
