Before & After Photos

A homeowner in East Peoria, IL recently had her basement waterproofed with MidAmerica Basement Systems. As time went on the homeowner wanted to finish off their basement as well. They were not too sure what was the best flooring to put down that would correlate to the waterproofing system. Design Specialist, Troy was happy to come back out to give the homeowner the best recommendation to meet the homeowner's needs.

The answer was Elite Plank Flooring. This gives off the fabulous look of real wood without the hassle of it. Having wood installed within a basement is a no go, it can be damaged within seconds if water reaches it. Elite Plank Flooring contains no wood at all just the look of it. It will not be affected by moisture or water in any way possible. It comes in two stylish colors, Light Pecan, and Dark Walnut. It is designed in long modular planks that lock together. They are built with raised pegs on the bottom that keep them above the concrete flooring. This also allows the new flooring to breathe. The water cannot get caught underneath the flooring. If a leak would happen the flooring can be removed to be dried out and then be replaced like nothing ever happened!

Now the homeowner is able to enjoy their new, stylish flooring thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team. If you too are looking to have your basement flooring finished off, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to take a look at your basement and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!

In Center Point, IA, notice in the before photo how this charming old farmhouse with a limestone foundation was struggling. Over time, deterioration allowed water to seep in, compromising structural integrity. In the after photo, see how we've restored the foundation using our EverBrace Wall Restoration system. Our experienced team installed steel corrugated panels between sturdy I-beams, equipped the structure for long-term durability, and utilized precision-injected rigid foam to fill voids and transfer loads effectively. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, our solution ensures that the foundation is not only stabilized but also stands strong against future damage.

When this homeowner in Monmouth, IL, noticed the block wall in their basement was visibly bowing, they knew it was time to call us for help. As you can see in the before photo, the concern was clear. But no challenge is too big or too small for us! After applying our Carbon Armor solution, a cutting edge fix designed for this very problem, the walls are now stable and will not bow any further. The homeowner was thrilled with the result and was provided peace of mind knowing the structural integrity of the wall was no longer a problem
