Before & After Photos

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!

Anne was having issue with her crawlspace becoming wet, which than in return made her basement damp. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her crawlspace waterproofed. When Chris inspected her situation, he offered her a total crawlspace encapsulation. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was placed along the dirt floor of the crawlspace, and CleanSpace was installed over top and up along the walls of the area, permanently sealing off the ground from the rest of the home. Once the crawlspace was completely sealed off, a SmartSump was installed to collect and discharge any water from the crawlspace. To help address the moisture issue in the basement, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. Anne no longer was a wet crawlspace or a damp basement thanks to help from MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Having an untreated crawlspace can lead to a damp home, not to mention a mold problem if not treated properly. For Bill, he was having an issue with both. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help, and he was offered a total crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a thick, pool-like liner that completely and permanently seals off the exposed ground from the rest of the crawlspace. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured in it to prevent future mold growth, making it ideal in a damp, moist situation. CleanSpace liner not only provides a permanent seal against moisture, but also provides the crawlspace with a bright and clean finish. Bill no longer worries of high moisture levels in his home. 

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.
