Crawl Space Repair Companies in Illinois
The main problem with crawl spaces for many homeowners in Illinois is that they are "out-of-sight, out-of-mind."
Many homeowners know their crawl space is nasty, so they never go down there. What they don't know, however, is that too little attention given to crawl spaces can lead to poor crawl space performance, making them prone to moisture, mold and heat loss in the entire house.
Your house is one building. It operates as a system. You can't have one part of the building that is sick, and another part that is healthy. You can't rationalize that you never go in the crawl space so you aren't affected by it. Why? Simple. Air mixing.
The crawl space air is in your building envelope. It gets upstairs in one of two ways - the stack effect, or the HVAC system through your ducts. You are breathing it. In fact we know that 1/3 to 1/2 of the air that you breathe on the first floor of your house comes though your crawl space. A crawl space open to the outdoor air also costs more to heat and cool.
So, fixing your crawl space is one home repair you can't afford not to make.
Basement Systems is proud to offer their customers the patented CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System.
CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System The CleanSpace system with crawl space vapor barrier completely isolates your home from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level in the air. Lower humidity levels reduce or, in some cases, eliminate mold growth, rot, and critters from your crawl space, making the entire house healthier.
Contact us online or call 800-638-7048 and let us solve your crawl space moisture problem. One of our Illinois crawl space experts will contact you shortly. Find a Crawl Space Contractor in Quad Cities, Chicagoland, Greater Peoria to Greater Springfield, and cities throughout Illinois. Contact a Basement Systems CleanSpace dealer in your neighborhood.
Crawl spaces have a bad reputation —as cramped, damp, dirty spaces that harbor bad-smelling mold, insects and other pests. The CleanSpace system of crawl space repair is designed to turn this ugly area into an asset —a part of your house you can actually be proud of. Our trained technicians make this transformation possible by combining waterproofing techniques with high-performance insulation, durable moisture barriers and effective air-sealing strategies.

Jacob and Merci did an excellent job. I’m very happy to have met them and glad they did the work we had done today. They are efficient, clean, professional, and friendly. I suggest giving them a raise for their hard work and positive attitudes. They are good workers!

Everything is straight and level. Much better than it was.
Our children, Jason and Krista Priest put drain tile in their basement and were very happy that they didn't have water in their basement anymore. We also recommended you to Jim's cousin, Franklin Bartel in McPherson, Kansas.

"Thank you for your patience. You all were kind and easy to work with. The job was very well done." With more than 45 years of experience, Thrasher has a reputation for providing high-quality, long-lasting basement waterproofing solutions. We have access to more than 30 patented basement repair products designed to keep your basement clean, dry, and odor-free. Some may think that water intrusion issues are only experienced in residential properties. However, these are, in fact, problems that don't discriminate on what type of construction they burden and can have a detrimental effect on any structure. This brings us to The Burlingame Federated Church. This beautiful traditional brick church structure is nestled in Burlingame, KS. This structure was built in 1908, at which time it was the home of the Methodist Church. In 1948, the Burlingame Federated Church was formed by uniting the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterians. Rev. Sam McCain Jr., the pastor of the Federated Church, said in a 1951 Kansas City Star article, "The idea of one church is scripturally sound. Without a united church, we can hardly hope to proclaim the gospel in a powerful way to a divided world". When you're talking about a structure that is this rich in history, inevitably, Thrasher knew we had to help out when The Burlingame Federate Church contacted us in 2015 in deep distress. The Church had been dealing with a hefty amount of water intrusion and were at a loss of what to do. Thrasher was able to arrange a time for one of our award-winning system design specialists to go out and meet with the members of The Burlingame Federate Church. As no two construction jobs require the same work scope, this is a necessary step to ensure that we can provide our customers with a top-notch experience. After a thorough inspection, the Thrasher System Design Specialist and the Church members could determine the best solution. A total of 265' of our non-clogging Water Guard interior drainage system and two of our Triple Safe Sump Pump Systems was the most fitting solution. This will ensure protection from the three most common causes of pump failure and guaranteed to keep their church basement dry year-round. In addition to the selected products used for The Burlingame Federate Church, Thrasher has multiple other solutions to customize every waterproofing need. Including the SaniDry™ Basement Dehumidifier and Air Filtration System can eliminate the leading cause of basement odors – high humidity and other indoor air allergens. Our approach controls the relative humidity of your basement to prevent mold from growing. Also, if you plan to finish your basement, we can restrict moisture and water vapors from entering the structure by adding a layer of basement sealer to protect from the mold at the same time with our CleanSpace® Basement Wall Vapor Barrier. Our highly trained specialists can install a complete basement waterproofing system with speed and accuracy. Besides, we never use subcontractors, and our crews are trained to minimize any mess and disruption. We will work hard to keep your home, business or Church clean, protect the floors and the walls, hang plastic to isolate the work area, and add ventilation fans to remove most of the dust so that you can have peace of mind while we complete your project – and protect your property for years to come. At Thrasher, we prioritize our customers' satisfaction above all else and want to make sure you are delighted with our basement repair services. That's why we offer a 25-year transferable warranty as well as a satisfaction guarantee, and efficiency guarantee, and a property protection guarantee. We understand that you may want to have another contractor bid on your project. Our goal is to have the best work done at a price that works for you, which is why we offer a price assurance guarantee when you choose to work with us. If another Better Business Bureau registered contractor provides you the same scope of work at a lesser price within 30 days, we'll match their proposal. If we can't match or beat another company's proposal for the same quality of work, we'll return any deposits you may have paid. Thrasher prides itself on being the right solution for any customer. We offer free basement repair inspections and custom repair solutions to solve your leaky basement problems permanently. To learn more about our price assurance guarantee and book your free no-obligation estimate, please call or book online. Thrasher believes we are only as strong as our customer's impression of us. This is why we depend on the feedback from the previous customer we've worked with. Below is the review from Burlingame Federal Church.

When a little water in the basement turned into flooding, Ben knew that a fan and dehumidifier wasn't going to do the job this time. When the Lueders family needed to reclaim their basement (and peace of mind), they called Thrasher Foundation Repair.

When Denise first purchased her home, she knew that she would want to someday finish her basement. After a few years of living in her home, she began to notice water seepages, putting her basement finishing project on hold. She knew that she couldn’t afford both basement waterproofing and basement finishing, so instead she left the basement unattended.
When Denise heard of the WQAD Dry Basement Giveaway by MidAmerica Basement Systems, she thought she would give it a shot. Design specialist Joe Sarb, had inspected her situation and informed her on what she would need to do to fix her leaking basement. The day finally came when the winner was announced and Denise couldn’t believe it. She received a full perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump. Denise also added CleanSpace Wall and a spray foam installation to help decrease humidity levels and increase the efficiency of the basement. She now has a dry basement that she can either leave the way it is, or finish it the way she would like.
Mary called into the MABS office to let the team know about the great experience she had with her service technician, Kyle, and how much she is placing on the system that we installed, and are maintaining for her. Watch the video to hear the actual call!
Zach and Lindsey tried to sell their house last year, and during their inspection an issue with their foundation was discovered and the sale fell through. They knew they would have to get the problem fixed if they ever had any hope of selling their house.
Luckily, that was the same time MidAmerica Basement Systems was running a foundation repair giveaway contest. As the lucky winners, Zach and Lindsey got the repair work they needed.
They were able to sell their home this Spring!
Just wanted to be sure that people would feel safe coming to my home.

Rene was great in her calls and email to me. She was always very attentive and careful to provide just the right amount of guidance and support.
Cole Tatge was very very good. He spent much time with me, going over every detail and all of the rationale for the process and procedures. The presentation materials were excellent and the video was helpful.
David Ezelle is an exceptional co-foreman. Together with Richard, the foreman, they made a cohesive pair. I was especially pleased that, in spite of some difficulty with the graph they were given, David and Richard went the extra mile to resolve the issue rather than merely going back to Davenport. David was especially professional in the way he approached the job and the way that he communicated with me. He was very careful regarding the preparation of the materials and equipment and the way that he completed the work. My driveway, sidewalk, and steps are now safe and neat. in spite of some difficulty with the graph they were given, David and Richard went the extra mile to resolve the issue rather than merely considering going back to Davenport.
David and Richard were very careful to provide a thorough cleanup. They are especially meticulous, given the kinds of materials that they work with.
I had tried to secure a local company for slablifting. I used Thumbtack. I only received a call back from one large company that is located in Missouri. Of my three inquiries, I made an assumption that they did not necessarily want to deal with senior citizens. That is my personal assumption. I subsequently used Home Advisor and found MidAmerica Basement Systems. I couldn't believe the exceptional professionalism and gracious care of each person with whom I was in contact
