Before & After Photos

Leaks in concrete structures are a problem that homeowners have struggled with for decades. Frustrated homeowners and professionals have tried to stop the water and leaking with sealers and patches of various kinds however they have had no luck. MidAmerica Basement Systems now proudly offer Chemical Injection. Chemical injection is a process in which a special polyurethane resin is injected into a crack hole, joint or another opening in concrete.

First holes are drilled in the wall at a 45-degree angle to cross the crack halfway through the wall. Then, special high-pressure injection ports are securely installed into the wall. Next. the poly resin is pumped into the cracks or joints. The appearance of the sealant on the inside is a positive indication of its migration all the way through the crack. After the resin is pumped into the wall the ports are removed and the holes are filled. For a nice appearance, a cement coating is then applied. 

Full basement waterproofing in Marseilles, IL. 

The homeowner of this basement in Normal, IL were concerned about the condition of their basement. They were experiencing water intrusion. They were also worried about cracks in the foundation walls and about one of the walls beginning to show signs of bowing. The experts from MidAmerica Basement Systems installed the SuperSump pump to keep the basement dry all the time, along with WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. The team further waterproofed the space by installing the CleanSpace liner to the damaged walls. To stabilize the bowing wall, the team installed the PowerBrace foundation wall system with patented tightening system that potentially straightens the wall over time.
