Tyler has been living in his home for the last 6 years, two of those years he has spent with water in his basement. Tyler was concerned with the water that came in during rain storms and how this could potentially cause mold in his home. He decided to take on this project for the future value of his home if he ever decided to sell the property.

Tyler has been living in his home for the last 6 years, two of those years he has spent with water in his basement. Tyler was concerned with the water that came in during rain storm and how this could potentially cause mold in his home. He deicded to take on this project for the future value of his home if he ever decided to sell the property. Tyler had a TripleSafe sump pump system and WaterGuard system installed in his home.

Helical Piers are designed to attempt to lift the home back to its original position. It is a solution that causes minimal disturbance and yet is more effective than other solutions. The experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems install the pier system from the exterior or interior of the home. Helical Piers are effective at closing cracks caused by settlement which improves the operation of doors and windows.

First, soil is removed from the area where the Helical Piers will be installed, and then sections are advanced into the soil. Once proper depth is achieved, heavy-duty foundation brackets are positioned below the footing. The weight of the home is then transferred through the Helical Piers to deep, competent soils, lifting the home back to its proper place.

Dennis had built his home over 23 years ago and had properly installed a successful drainage and sump system. One day he noticed a leak on his finished carpeted basement floor. He invested to find a foundation crack behind the drywall. He quickly searched for a repair company and found MidAmerica Basement Systems. Adao Natario, project engineer, was sent out to service Dennis’ home. The installation of Flexispan provided a waterproof sealant to prevent further water leakage in the crack. Flexispan is a polyurethane sealant that seeps deep into the crack, forming a durable, flexible seal. Thanks to the help of Adao and MidAmerica Basement Systems, Dennis can continue enjoying his finished basement.
