Before & After Photos

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.

Lori has a 600 square foot home, with limited storage space. She would like to be able to store things in her crawlspace, but because of the dirt floor, the area is always full of moisture. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her crawlspace encapsulated so she could use the area as storage. Lori was offered CleanSpace encapsulation with a SmartSump, SilverGlo, and a SaniDry Sedona. The CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that permanently seals off the ground from the crawlspace, while the SmartSump discharges any moisture or water that enters under the home. SilverGlo is a foam board insulation that will make the crawlspace more energy efficient for the home. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to help keep moisture levels under control, making it ideal and safe to use the crawlspace as extra storage.

Before our team stepped in, this Clinton home faced the common issue of water intrusion in its crawl space, turning the area beneath their feet into unwanted muddy terrain, as you can see on the left. We transformed their concerns into peace of mind by installing CleanSpace - a durable, waterproof lining that revitalizes even the dampest of spaces into a dry, usable part of the home. Notice in the after photo, the difference is unquestionable; a clean, water-free space that speaks volumes about our commitment to exceptional home protection and customer satisfaction.
