Before & After Photos

Homeowner, David was having water leaking into his basement from every side. This was not an ideal situation for David, he wanted his basement back to its original state, clean and dry. MidAmerica Basement Systems was able to help him with just that! 

One of the waterproofing systems installed in David's basement was CleanSpace. This is a fast, economical, permanent installation. It stops water vapor from permeating the walls and will drain wall leaks. The durable, thicker, white barrier is washable and can form to any type of basement foundation walls you have. 

If you are experiencing the same problem as David, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be happy to help you!

The dirt and brick flooring of this 125 year old basement was damp and soggy from erosion over time. To capitalize on the space and keep the interior dry, design specialist Fred Romane recommended full encapsulation. It looks amazing!

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. 

This Rapid City homeowner said goodbye to a damp, drafty crawlspace and hello to a healthier, more comfortable home thanks to crawlspace encapsulation!

Crawlspaces can become neglected areas under a house, prone to moisture problems, mold growth, and attracting pests. Encapsulation is a process that can significantly improve your crawlspace and your home as a whole.

Here's what crawlspace encapsulation typically involves:

• Sealing the crawlspace: A heavy-duty vapor barrier is installed on the crawlspace floor and walls. This creates a moisture barrier that helps prevent dampness from entering the living space above.
• Closing foundation vents (in some cases): Crawlspaces are often vented to allow for air circulation. However, in an encapsulated crawlspace, these vents are typically closed and sealed to further control moisture and maintain a consistent temperature.
• Dehumidification: A dehumidifier may be installed in the crawlspace to help regulate moisture levels and prevent mold growth.
• Insulation: Insulating the crawlspace walls can improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer between the crawlspace and the living area.

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.
