Before & After Photos

Susan and Paul G. of Sterling, IL had a damp, thin, limestone basement. To keep the basement dry, CleanSpace Drainage Matting, CleanSpace Wall and a new sump pump, the SuperSump, were installed to make the basement dry. Susuan and Paul are very happy with their now dry basement. 

When crawl spaces have exposed earth, it can lead to a handful of problems. One incident that Heather D. was having was excess water, causing the damp, cool area to become a hazardous health issue. Mold "feeds" off of the water and darkness, which than seeps into the livable spaces of the home, causing unhealthy breathing air. Calling the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems can help fix your home's air quality, with the installation of the CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick liner that seals the earth off from the crawl space, so moisture cannot seep through. The liner is infused with an antimicrobial material which is used in the prevention of mold growth, which in return makes for a healthy, breathable home for years to come.

The homeowner of this crawl space wished for usable space that would be sealed from the earth, waterproofed, and healthier overall. The team at MidAmerica Basement Systems cleaned debris from the space and fitted the space with CleansSpace. CleanSpace liner is 20 mil thick 7 ply material that is resistant to tear and punctures making it durable and long lasting. The CleanSpace fights mold growth with UltraFresh, which is an antimicrobial additive. The CleanSpace also acts as a vapor barrier making it difficult for Radon gas to enter the home. The space before is dark and cold but after the MidAmerica team seals it with CleanSpace, the homeowner has a space that cleaner, brighter, and available for use. 

There will never be a better before and after of a crawlspace encapsulated with CleanSpace in Galva, IL.

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!
