Before & After Photos

This Elmwood crawlspace needed the assistance of the local experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Prior to the installation of CleanSpace liner and CleanSpace drainage matting, the crawlspace was dingy and suffered water intrusion. Following the encapsulation, the crawlspace is now dry, and clean!

John and Dorothy were noticing high levels of moisture in their home and decided to purchase a dehumidifier from the hardware store. It didn’t seem to help considering the had to dump the unit 3 times a day. They decided it was time for help, and reached out to the experts of MidAmerica Basement Systems. It was discovered that the main source of the moisture levels was coming from the untreated crawlspace. Water was seeping under the home, and making its way into the rest of the house. CleanSpace was offered to totally encapsulate and permanently seal off the moisture. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was placed along the exposed ground to collect and move the moisture the a SmartDrain. CleanSpace Liner was installed over top the matting and along the walls to permanently seal off the crawlspace from the exposed ground. Any water that entered under the crawlspace was pumped back out through the SmartDrain, keeping the crawlspace dry. John and Dorothy no longer have issues with moisture levels in their home.

Julie decided that her basement needed a waterproofing system. She was tired of her cold, wet basement and turned to MidAmerica Basement Systems to help her create a space in her home that was safe and free of moisture. Julie and Design Specialist Mac McDaniel came to the conclusion that Julie needed a sup pump and after reviewing all of her options, went with the TripleSafe sump pump. Due to its three pump system, Julie could be guaranteed that her basement would be kept dry at all times. Along with the sump pump Julie had clean space walls installed which gave her a clean look along with protection from water and insects.

The homeowner of this crawl space wished for usable space that would be sealed from the earth, waterproofed, and healthier overall. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems cleaned debris from the space and fitted the space with CleansSpace. CleanSpace liner is 20 mil thick 7 ply material that is resistant to tear and punctures making it durable and long lasting. The CleanSpace fights mold growth with UltraFresh, which is an antimicrobial additive. The CleanSpace also acts as a vapor barrier making it difficult for Radon gas to enter the home. The space before is dark and cold but after the MidAmerica team seals it with CleanSpace, the homeowner has a space that cleaner, brighter, and available for use.
