I was very pleased with the experience I had with MidAmerica Basement Systems when they waterproofed my basement. The crew of 3 (Jacob, Colby, and Jerry) were professional and kept me updated on the progress of the project. They showed up on time every day and cleaned up when they had finished the job. I highly recommend them for any basement issues!

I am extremely happy with the quality and results encapsulating my crawl space. Jake and his team Colby, Antonio, and Jose were great to work with. It can be a hard, dirty job (they even encountered a snake which they released in the wild). They seemed to enjoy working together and kept a sense of humor which is a testament to their leadership.
