Before & After Photos

Having an untreated crawlspace can lead to a damp home, not to mention a mold problem if not treated properly. For Bill, he was having an issue with both. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help, and he was offered a total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick, pool-like liner that completely and permanently seals off the exposed ground from the rest of the crawlspace. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured in it to prevent future mold growth, making it ideal in a damp, moist situation. CleanSpace liner not only provides a permanent seal against moisture, but also provides the crawlspace with a bright and clean finish. Bill no longer worries of high moisture levels in his home. 

A couple years ago, Oneida, IL homeowners, Stanley and Becky, had some issues with water getting into their basement. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems for a free estimate, and got their basement waterproofed with the local experts in All Things Basementy. When they were having their system serviced, service technician Gary Housenga recommended controlling moisture in the home by encapsulating the crawlspace. The basement is drier than it has ever been, and now the homeowners will not have to worry about the crawlspace in the future either. 

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.

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!
