Before & After Photos

This Galesburg, IL homeowner was tired of her damp, rusting crawlspace. Water was seeping into the crawl space, creating the musty smell. The homeowner decided to act to get rid of the stench and health hazards the wet crawlspace brought to her home. The newly encapsulated crawlspace is not only effectively meeting the homeowner's needs, but it looks great!

Rodger and Kathleen of Galesburg, IL hated the musty smell in their home. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to talk about encapsulating their crawlspace. They met with design specialist Fred Romane. Fred designed a system that would waterproof and encapsulate the crawlspace, and foreman Kyle McCarty and his team installed the solution. Products in the solution included CleanSpace Drainage Matting, SmartSump, and CleanSpace. It looks great!

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.

Jim recently bought a home that was built in the 1900’s. The home had a large crawl space that needed to be repaired. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when he learned about crawlspace encapsulation. CleanSpace encapsulation is great for crawl spaces that get water or are prone to animals and insects. A dirt crawl space under your home is a very bad idea. The earth has a very high humidity level in the soil. A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives in places that are prone to war.

This crawlspace used to be a nightmare – filled with cold drafts, moisture problems, and unwelcome critters. But thanks to crawlspace encapsulation, it's undergone a complete transformation!

Encapsulation is a process that seals the entire crawlspace with a vapor barrier. This keeps out:

• Moisture: By blocking rising dampness, encapsulation prevents mold growth, protects your foundation, and creates a healthier environment in your home.
• Drafts: Sealing air leaks improves energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling bills.
• Pests: Rodents and insects lose their damp haven, keeping your home critter-free.

The benefits extend far beyond the crawlspace itself. Encapsulation can:

• Improve indoor air quality: Reduced moisture and dust mites mean cleaner air for you and your family.
• Increase home comfort: Consistent temperatures throughout your home thanks to reduced drafts.
• Protect your floors: Less moisture means less risk of warped wood or damaged flooring materials.
• Boost your home's value: A dry, healthy crawlspace is a valuable selling point.

So, if your crawlspace is a source of problems, consider encapsulation! It's an investment that pays off for the health and comfort of your entire home.
