This homeowner was tired of getting water in their basement. They had us out right before the big storm and wanted their basement waterproofed. The System Design Specialists told them the crew would install WaterGuard. 

Encapsulated Crawl Space in Des Moines, IA

The homeowners wanted to start storing things in their crawl space. There crawl space was so dirty they thought there could be snakes or mice in there. They called us and wanted us to come out and fix them problem. We encapsulated the crawl space so they could store boxes of things in the crawl space. The encapsulation also will help with mold and mildew. 

Wet and Moldy Basement Waterproofed in Des Moines, IA

Homeowner Tiffany T. started to notice mold and water issues in the basement. She had major concerns about how this would not only impact her home but the foundation as well. Having had Midwest come out to her home before, she decided to give us another call.

Service Technician Brandon Rost went out to Tiffany’s home. He was able to identify that mold was forming on the interior walls and a section of foundation wall was failing.  To stabilize the failing foundation wall the crew installed a PowerBraces. We encapsulated and waterproofed the entire basement with CleanSpace and WaterGaurd. To help keep the humidity levels down we also installed a Sedona SaniDry Dehumidifier.

Basement Mold Prevention in Des Moines, IA

Mold can be one of the worst things to happen to a home, and, it doesn't need much to grow. In a dark damp environment, mold can grow after 24 hours. This is why it's important to ensure that your home is able to keep water out of your basement.

For this home, we were able to install CleanSpace, which involves the installation of a durable vapor barrier that completely seals off the crawl space from outside elements. This multi-layered liner, made of heavy-duty material, acts as a moisture barrier, preventing the intrusion of water vapor, mold, mildew, and pests into the crawl space. CleanSpace encapsulation helps to maintain a clean and dry environment, improving indoor air quality, reducing the risk of mold growth, and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the home. 

Poorly Installed Sump Pump Replaces in Ankeny, IA

For this couple, realizing the low-quality sump pump they had recently paid for was no longer working was extremely stressful. This time around, they called Midwest. 

 

We were able to remove the old pump and backup system and install a new pump with a backup pump to ensure they wouldn't regret choosing Midwest for their waterproofing needs.
