Before & After Photos

Homeowner Edith is a returning customer to MidAmeria Basement Systems. She previously had a TripleSafe Sump installed to help discharge water that was entering the basement, but because her home is old and settled, there are many cracks along the floor of the foundation. Every time it rained hard, water would seep through the cracks with no way to get to the sump pump. The Crew returned to install a WaterGuard system so that water would properly flow to the sump pump instead of sitting in puddles on the concrete floor.

Andrew was noticing small puddles of water appearing in his basement when it would rain. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his situation addressed. During evaluation, Dan had proposed the installation of a SuperSump. Water will no longer seep and surface to the floor, instead the SuperSump will be able to discharge any and all water that enters the basement, keeping it dry for Andrew.

Before, this Peoria, IL crawl space was draft and energy inefficient. The unnecessary chill added discomfort to the whole home. The homeowner reach out to us to enhance the space for better energy usage. We installed Drainage Matting and a CleanSpace liner, Notice the transformation: smooth, reliable materials now cover the area, preventing drafts and enhancing energy efficiency. We are proud to add them to our list of happy Peoria homeowners!

If water has taken over your basement like it did for one of our Peoria, IL homeowners, we get the panic. In the "before" photo, you can see the familiar foe: moisture creep—a sight that immediately sparks a need for a professional solution.

To tackle this moisture mayhem, our specialist Scott Mohr stepped onto the scene. Scott played a dual role in this transformation, serving as both the Salesman who designed the custom solution and the Foreman who led the installation. Having the same expert guide the project from the initial brainstorm to the final bolt ensured that no detail was lost in translation.

Our team deployed the trusty CleanSpace drainage duo to reclaim the space:

CleanSpace Wall System: To stop moisture vapor from permeating the walls.

Drainage Matting: To ensure any trapped water is directed exactly where it needs to go.

In the "after" snap, behold how Scott and his crew transformed that clammy space into a dry oasis! We’re here to make your basement the reliable sidekick you’ve always needed by turning potential worries into dust.

In Peoria, IL, a homeowner was facing a growing safety concern: a failing egress well. The existing structure was crumbling and visually compromised, creating significant anxiety for the family. An egress well is a critical safety feature, but when the foundation around it begins to fail, it shifts from a life-saving exit to a structural liability. Staring out of a basement window at a collapsing well is never a reassuring sight for any property owner.

Mike Chezum, our System Design Specialist, arrived on-site to perform a comprehensive evaluation. Mike identified the specific points of failure in the old well and designed a replacement plan that prioritized both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. His goal was to move the homeowner from a state of worry to a state of total security.

Once the plan was green-lit, Foreman Jacob Quinn and his production crew took over the transformation. The team focused on a clean, robust installation process:

Removal & Excavation: The crew carefully extracted the old, vulnerable structure without disturbing the surrounding foundation.

System Reinforcement: Jacob ensured the new egress well was seated on a robust foundation feature, meeting all modern safety requirements and local building codes.

Final Grading: The area was meticulously finished to ensure proper drainage away from the new unit.

The results, as seen in the project photos, are night and day. What was once a crumbling, compromised structure is now a robust, high-quality egress well that enhances the home’s value and safety.

By replacing the "vulnerable" with the "sturdy," Mike and Jacob provided the homeowner with more than just a new window well—they provided peace of mind for years to come. Peeking outside is now a pleasant experience, and the basement is once again a secure, code-compliant living space.
