Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this home in Abingdon reached out to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team in regards to his failing perimeter drainage system. The team went out and replace the system with our patented WaterGuard drainage system. The homeowner now has an efficient system to help keep his basement dry!

We were recently called to Sherrard, IL to tackle a cold, drafty crawl space that led to elevated electric bills for the homeowner. As you can see in the before photo, the space was bare and allowed for cold air to enter. Using our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, we effectively addressed these issues. The specifically designed matting improved water drainage and enhanced floor durability, while the CleanSpace barrier protected against moisture, ensuring a warmer, more energy-efficient home.

In New Windsor, IL, one homeowner faced potential obstacles to maintaining their homes value due to water and bowing wall issues in the basement. The before photo clearly shows how vulnerable the space was between ground level, placing future sales prospects at risk. We addressed this challenge by installing our robust combination of PowerBraces, WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and CleanSpace. As seen in the after photo, these solutions deliver lasting foundation stability, efficient water management, and an clean atmosphere, ensuring the basement remains a safe, reliable asset for years down the line. 

FlexiSpan crack repair is actually a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. Unlike sealant or mortar-based crack repair, the FlexiSpan system is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. It works under all conditions.
