Before & After Photos

This Coralville, IA homeowner recently purchased their place and sought peace of mind before renovating their basement. Notice in the before photo that the space wasn't prepared for the rigors of wet weather. We stepped in to protect his investment, installing our trusty WaterGuard System combined with CleanSpace and a TripleSafe sump pump. The after photo beautifully displays a clean, dry basement ready for years of stability. Thanks to our 35+ years of experience, we ensured this home will remain dry and secure for future memories. 

Tom noticed a large drop between his garage and driveway, making it a rough transition from the driveway into his garage. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to get an estimate on how to lift and level his sunken driveway. During evaluation, Bryan suggested injecting PolyLevel to fix his issue. Small holes were drilled into the concrete, and injected with PolyLevel to fill the voids that had caused the driveway to originally sink. Once the voids were filled, the PolyLevel expanded to lift to concrete to its original height. Tom now has a smooth transition to his garage, rather than a 2inch bump.

During heavy rains in Hiawatha, IA, this homeowner noticed water infiltration in their crawl space, leading to concerns about mold and mildew. Our team stepped in, installing SmartPipe for efficient drainage and a SmartSump to manage water exit. We then encapsulated the area with a CleanSpace liner and added drainage matting to assist with water management and prevent future issues. To top it off, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the space, enhancing a dry, healthy environment. In the after photo, you can see the transformatively cleaner and safer crawl space, demonstrating our commitment to putting customers first.

In the before photo, notice the constant water leakage in this Hiawatha, IA basement whenever the old pump ran. The failing unit flooded the basin area, posing an immediate threat of moisture damage, elevated humidity, and mold growth. Following a thorough site evaluation by System Design Specialist Jeff Kelchen, Foreman Jacob and crew members Nathan and Caleb arrived on site to deliver a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team restored total flood protection to the basement by removing the obsolete unit and installing the high-capacity TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. Featuring three independent pumps housed in a single sealed basin—including a secondary backup pump for heavy inflows and a battery-powered backup pump for power outages—the TripleSafe guarantees continuous water evacuation during severe Midwest storms. As seen in the after photo, the new system offers clean, airtight protection, keeping the living space completely dry and safeguarding the home's structural integrity for years to come.

Ashley was tired of water in her basement and wanted not to worry about it any longer. MidAmerica Basement Systems came in and installed the patented TripleSafe sump pump, which eliminates worry even if the power goes out because it includes a battery backup. Ashley no longer has to worry about getting water in her basement!
