Before & After Photos

Jim S. of Davenport, IA had crawlspace work performed by another company at the beginning of the 2016, but he wasn't happy with the work that had been done. He called MidAmerica Basement Systems for another estimate, and a look into the problem. After meeting with design specialist Mike Banks, Jim S. was ready to get his damp, musty crawlspace encapsulated and dry.

Rob recently moved to a new home and was concerned about the untreated crawlspace. The previous owners had tried to make the area moisture proof by installed foam boards along the wooden joists flooring system. Rob reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to had the area properly sealed. He was offered a CleanSpace encapsulation. CleanSpace is a thick liner that permanently seals off exposed, damp dirt from the rest of the crawlspace. Sealing off the ground with a vapor barrier has significantly improved the efficiency in the home over the foam boards that were originally installed in the crawlspace.

After dealing with persistent water intrusion that left stubborn marks and stains on their foundation walls, a homeowner in Windsor, IL, knew they needed professional help. The sheer volume of water entering their basement made it clear that a DIY fix wouldn't work. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems, and we were ready to provide an expert solution. The CleanSpace water vapor barrier was installed directly onto the homeowner's foundation walls. This bright, clean, and durable barrier is held permanently in place with drilled-in fasteners. It is designed to stop any water that enters the walls from spreading throughout the space and actively drains any wall leaks. Its surface is washable, making it easy to keep clean if it ever gets dirty.  Thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team, this homeowner can finally stop worrying about their basement.

Damp, cold crawlspaces can dramatically damage your home. The wooden floor joists absorb the moisture, causing the floor systems to weaken and rot, while cold, musty air rises into your home, leaving a bad odor and hazardous health conditions. A total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace, allows for the ground to be permanently sealed off from the crawlspace, allowing for the floor systems to stay dry, and keep to cold, musty smells out of the home. CleanSpace is a thick liner, much like a pool liner, that provides durability against rips and tears, and is infused with an antimicrobial material that prevents mold growth.

Josh and Heather have an older home with a block foundation that constantly leaks through the walls. It was making it hard for them to use their basement a storage due to the damp and at times, wet, room. The reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a waterproofing system installed. WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump were installed to collect and discharge the water out of the basement. To address the leaking walls, CleanSpace Liner was installed to help guide the leaking water to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace Liner also creates a moisture barrier for the basement, helping reducing the damp atmosphere and allow for the area to became a storage area for Josh and Heather.
