Water was getting into a homeowner's home in Independence, IA and was ruining the basement foundation walls. The water was damaging the stone and left marks throughout. It was not a pretty sight to see and the homeowner was not very happy. They knew the only way it would get fixed is if they contacted the experts in the industry to come to take a look at it. He searched online to find MidAmerica Basement Systems and contacted us right away. A Design Specialist was able to come out to inspect the homeowner's home and give them the best recommendation that would meet their needs and goals of the home.

There is a fast and economical way to cover up damaged walls from water, CleanSpace! It is a bright white, clean, durable vapor barrier for basement walls. It is a quick, but permanent installation. It is installed with permanent drilled-in fasteners. Once installed it will not allow water to flow throughout the foundation wall. Once water gets in it will drain it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump to get pumped out of the basement. You will not see the water at all! It has a washable surface that can be cleaned and wiped off if needed. The best part is that it can be installed on bumpy foundation walls such as stone.

The dirt and brick flooring of this 125 year old basement was damp and soggy from erosion over time. To capitalize on the space and keep the interior dry, design specialist Fred Romane recommended full encapsulation. It looks amazing!

A couple years ago, Oneida, IL homeowners, Stanley and Becky, had some issues with water getting into their basement. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate, and got their basement waterproofed with the local experts in All Things Basementy. When they were having their system serviced, service technician Gary Housenga recommended controlling moisture in the home by encapsulating the crawlspace. The basement is drier than it has ever been, and now the homeowners will not have to worry about the crawlspace in the future either. 

This Rapid City homeowner said goodbye to a damp, drafty crawlspace and hello to a healthier, more comfortable home thanks to crawlspace encapsulation!

Crawlspaces can become neglected areas under a house, prone to moisture problems, mold growth, and attracting pests. Encapsulation is a process that can significantly improve your crawlspace and your home as a whole.

Here's what crawlspace encapsulation typically involves:

• Sealing the crawlspace: A heavy-duty vapor barrier is installed on the crawlspace floor and walls. This creates a moisture barrier that helps prevent dampness from entering the living space above.
• Closing foundation vents (in some cases): Crawlspaces are often vented to allow for air circulation. However, in an encapsulated crawlspace, these vents are typically closed and sealed to further control moisture and maintain a consistent temperature.
• Dehumidification: A dehumidifier may be installed in the crawlspace to help regulate moisture levels and prevent mold growth.
• Insulation: Insulating the crawlspace walls can improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer between the crawlspace and the living area.
