Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Moline, IL was having water coming into their basement. The water was coming into their basement around the perimeter and would cause a mess throughout! It was time to call the experts in the industry, MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design Specialist, Joe was able to come out to take a look at the homeowner's home and give them the best recommendation to fix the wet, damp basement.

CleanSpace was one of the answers to cover up the wet mess! CleanSpace is a bright, durable vapor barrier for basement or crawlspace walls. It is a quick installation that is installed with permanent drilled in fasteners. It stops water vapor from spreading throughout the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks. It also has a washable surface if anything would find its way onto it. It can conform and be installed to any basement wall type, even stone.

Thanks to Joe, Bill, and The MidAmerica Basement Systems Team, the homeowner can now once again enjoy their basement without any worry in mind of water getting back in. If you too are looking to have your home waterproofed, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to send out a Design Specialist to come to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Contact us today!

When our customer from Moline, IL, discovered water creeping into her newly purchased home's crawl space, she knew immediate action was needed. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was far from ideal. Jump to the after photo, and marvel at the transformation — a fully encapsulated space courtesy of our CleanSpace system. This upgrade not only blocks water intrusion but also elevates air quality, thanks to the inclusion of a SaniDry Sedona system. Now, the crawlspace is a beacon of health and durability in her home.

Open dirt floors crawlspaces can lead to a handful of problems: moisture in the home, mold growth, and energy deficiency to name a few. Encapsulated these crawlspaces can help prevent future home issues with the use of CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick liner that seals the ground from the home, providing a moisture barrier. If moisture cannot enter, mold has no “food” to grow. Another issue that comes about is heat loss. During the winter months, heating your home can become costly due to heat seeping out of the open crawlspace. Installing SilverGlo and a CleanSpace Liner help reflect heat and seal off the outside cold, helping reduce heading costs.

Mary of Milan called MidAmerica Basement Systems because the floors above her crawlspace were starting to sink and and sag, and her crawlspace was damp. She met with design specialist Mike Banks who talked to her about stabilizing the crawlspace with Smart Jacks and encapsulating the space with CleanSpace. Now the crawlspace is dry and stable. The images show CleanSpace encapsulation.

Rick and Cindy were looking to create more storage in their home, but the only place that was left was the leaky, dark crawlspace. They heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems crawlspace encapsulations, and reached out. Joe inspected their situation, and offered them CleanSpace with a SmartDrain. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was installed across the dirt floor to help guide and direct any moisture to the SmartDrain. CleanSpace Liner was than installed over top and around the foundation walls to permanently seal off the ground from the rest of the home. Keeping the crawlspace completely dry, the SmartDrain discharges any water from the area, allowing for Rick and Cindy to effectively use the crawlspace as a storage area.
