Before & After Photos

New full perimeter waterproofing system in Silvis, IL. 

The before photo shows a basement plagued with moisture and the potential for mold in Silvis, IL. The homeowner wanted to eliminate the mess and make the basement a dry, usable space. To tackle this, we at MidAmerica Basement Systems installed a reliable waterproofing system featuring WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. As seen in the after photo, these installations transformed the basement into a dry and healthy area ready to be transformed for use. Our more than 35 years in the business means effective, enduring solutions you can trust from a family owned company that always puts homeowners first. 

In Silvis, IL, our customer had grand aspirations for a backyard waterfall, but they certainly didn’t want one inside their home! As you can see in the soggy "before" photo, water kept crashing the party, putting their dreams of a finished basement on hold.

Salesman Jason Feldmann and Foreman Jacob Oetzman led the charge to turn this damp dungeon into a dry delight. Our team sprang into action with a trio of reliable solutions:

WaterGuard: To expertly route incoming water away from the living space.

CleanSpace: To seal out moisture and keep the walls vapor-free.

TripleSafe Sump Pump: To give water its final marching orders and send it packing.

Thanks to the hard work of Jason, Jacob, and the crew, this surprisingly stylish subterranean sanctuary is finally ready for movie nights—no "Ghostbusters" gear required! It’s just another policy-protected, bone-dry success story from the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Terry wanted his space to be cleared of debris and he wanted the space to be insulated. The MidAmerica Basement Systems team did all the above and more!

The crawl space before is cold, dark, uncomfortable, and layered with debris. The team cleaned the space by removing all of the debris and then they insulated the walls with SilverGlo. SilverGlo is a foil backed foam insulation that is infused with graphite. The SilverGlo is specially designed to keep heat from escaping the space, and outside air from entering making the space warm and saving the homeowner a bundle on utility bills.

We then installed drainage matting. The drainage matting has dimples allowing rising ground water to flow underneath the CleanSpace liner. The space is then fitted with CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace finishes the sealing process with a thick, durable, flexible plastic that has an antimicrobial additive making it mold resistant. All of the materials used are inorganic meaning that it is least likely to deteriorate and/or become a yummy meal for mold.

The homeowner now has a space that is clean, healthy, and comfortable while saving him money and headaches!

These homeowners in East Moline were noticing repeated water in their basement. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems waterproofed the basement with SuperSump pump system and a perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard. The homeowners also wanted the team to address the issue of a bowing foundation wall so the team installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall. The homeowners now have a safe, stable and dry basement!
