By Sandra
Would recommend this company
By Walter
The installation crew was courteous, talkative and fast. Great pains were taken to keep the work area clean. Robbie Stoutenberg is obviously respected. I could see that he is taking care to teach his crew craftsmanship and customer relation. They are a very well organized trio.
By Frank
Good job so far...proof will be in the pudding as they say...first big rain has yet to fall so I will refrain from WOW until the work is tested.
By Mike
Great experience
By James
Pete and Zack couldn't have been more helpful and informative.
By Staci
Just wanted to give the crew who worked on our home a shout out. Dillon, Louis, and Levi were very courteous and respectful. We have a 2 1/2 year old who was very interested in everything going on and they were very patient with him and let him kind of see the process everyday. Thanks again!
By Nancy
I was so impressed by Bill and his crew. I have worked in residential construction and with many different sub contractors and have never met a more professional, organized, considerate team than Bill's. He and his crew are definitely a great asset to your company. The system is being put to the test right away as it is raining now as I type.
By LARRY
The guys were very professional. The sales guy was very good explaining all aspects of the job. The two man crew was very good explaining things as they went along. I was at first surprised that only two guys were here, but I saw later that anybody else would have been in the way.
By Karen
Your sales rep. and your labor crew seemed very knowledgable and easy to talk to. No pressure and the work was done exactly when they said. Very thorough in explaining everything and the clean up was great.
By Karen
Its been a week since my system was installed in my crawl space and I already notice a positive difference in the air quality in my house. Great job.
By Michael
We truly appreciate the fine, thorough work provided by your company. We feel we made an excellent decision to make this investment in our home. We hope anyone who needs these types of renovations to their basement or crawlspace will contact you. They will be very happy with the results!

All above is better than bestThank YouThe Weselohs
By Janet
The installation crew, Bill and Blue, were the best. They were very courteous and professional, explained everything and asked permission before starting anything. They were very hard workers, and made the installation much more quickly than I would have thought possible. They took great care to minimize the mess and dust, and were very neat and tidy at each step, cleaning up as they went. The installation looked great - very neat - and there was absolutely no mess left anywhere in my house. They even swept the driveway. I cannot recommend this crew too highly.
By Carol
If anyone else in our area needs their basement walls worked on, we'll send them your way!

MidAmerica Basement Systems is professional all the way. I am very impressed with the personals representing your company. Every company should have a "Kim." She was awesome. The crew was top notch.

I am very happy with the outcome of the work, the employees, and the company.

Job went very well! The crew was done earlier than expected. Crew picked up garage when they were done and even swept it. I can already smell the difference and I don't notice the damp smell anymore. Well worth the money I spent! Everything went smoothly. We even found a problem under the house that I didn't even know that I had.

I heard about you guys on TV then your representative came out and did a nice presentation. That sold us on your system. The crew of men were great guys. They were more than courteous.

We saw your company name at a home show in the Quad Cities and were pretty impressed. MidAmerica Basement Systems was neat in appearance, polite, worked fast, and finished in the time that they had promised. The estimate your company offered was more reasonable than any other company and the method used seemed more efficient. The installation crew did a great job as well. They were on time as well as the representative. The men cleaned up when they were done and made sure everything was put back to normal.
B D.

    Jim and Dorothy wanted the discharge line from their sump pump extended further away from the house.

Jim and Dorothy are very happy with the finished product, as they do not need to worry about it any longer.

    WaterGuard Guarding Damp Basement in Abingdon, IL

    Homeowner, Leah in Abingdon, IL was experiencing water in her basement. It was a continuing issue that she knew she could no longer just put the issue to the side, she needed professional help! She contacted the local experts in her area, MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design Specialist, Troy was able to give her the best recommendation for her home possible.

    Installer, Dillion was able to come out to Leah's home to install it. WaterGuard was one of the systems installed within Leah's home.

    The homeowner of this basement in Normal, IL were concerned about the condition of their basement. They were experiencing water intrusion.

To stabilize the bowing wall, the team installed the PowerBrace foundation wall system with patented tightening system that potentially straightens the wall over time.

    Vicki was having issues with water seeping into her basement after heavy rains. She also had issues with her basement drain backing up, preventing water from flowing out of her basement. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the problem resolved and finally have a dry basement. Mike has proposed installing a TripleSafe sump to account for the large amounts of water that would enter the basement during rains. LateralDrains were than installed from the basemen drain to the pump to prevent future back-ups. For the rest of the basement, WaterGuard was installed to collect and redirect the seeping water to the TripleSafe to be discharged back out of the home. Vicki now has a dry, and reliable waterproofing system in her basement.

    Crack Injection in Marseilles, IL

    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.
