Before & After Photos

Dave H. has been wanting to finish his basement to add more living space. He noticed that water was entering in multiple areas, and it was affecting the project. Looking to continue with finishing the basement, he called Midwest to learn more about waterproofing his basement.

System Design Specialist Tyler Dopheide went out to Dave’s home. He was able to identify the areas that water was coming in and come up with a water proofing solution for the basement. The crew started with installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and then installing a Triple Safe Sump Pump, so then the water would have a place to go and not collect in the basement. Then to keep the walls dry, we encapsulated the space with CleanSpace. Dave was very happy with how the project turned out and gave us a 10/10.

Gary H. was tired of having a musty odor in his basement each time it rained. He spends a lot of time in his basement, and it is very cold and drafty and a lot of excess moisture. Looking for a solution, he decided to call Midwest.

System Design Specialist Frank Lindsey went out to his home. Frank was able to see that the crawl space is attached to the basement and was creating a draft and musty odor. The crew installed drainage matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, so the walls would remain dry. We also removed existing insulation from the floor joists and ceiling. To keep the rest of the basement dry, WaterGuard was also put in, to direct the water out of the basement into the sump pump.

This customer recognized the importance of prioritizing the resolution of any issues within the crawlspace before proceeding with the installation of a new bathroom directly above it. Over the years, the crawlspace had been neglected, necessitating the implementation of CleanSpace and Smartjacks to enhance its structural integrity.

Upon clearing the debris within the crawlspace, our team promptly installed Smartjacks and implemented CleanSpace to address the identified concerns. The customer expressed gratitude for our swift response, as it enabled him to seamlessly progress with the planned bathroom repairs directly above the crawlspace.

By proactively addressing the crawlspace issues, the customer can now move forward confidently, knowing that the integrity of the crawlspace has been reinforced, setting the foundation for successful bathroom renovations.

This homeowner was looking to sell her house, however it would not sell because the basement was having water problems. Her realtor suggested that she get these fixed before she tries to sell her house again, so she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Ryan Allen to inspect the basement water problems and come up with a solution that buyers would like. Ryan noticed that not only was there water coming in through the walls, but there was also mold on the construction materials, and the walls started bowing in. The walls were a fairly new problem, so Ryan knew just how to fix all of the basement issues. Our team removed the mold, then installed a CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier and PowerBraces to secure the wall and ensure that water could not get in, and that mold would not grow again.

The homeowner was glad to have these projects done and she was able to sell her house right away. Check out her basement solution!

The customer prioritized ensuring the structural stability of her house, having already addressed all other necessary repairs. One of the pressing issues she encountered was a bowing wall with noticeable deflection, which had worsened since the previous year. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, we employed power braces as an effective solution to rectify the problem. Through the gradual application of power braces, we can safely and steadily restore the wall to its proper alignment.
