"I had a wonderful experience with MidAmerica Basement Systems & highly recommend them if your having any waterproofing needs. My project: I purchased my home 3.5 years ago & it started getting water in the basement last year after the outside drainage & tiling system put in my previous owners failed miserably. It would literally be full days of pumping water out of multiple locations in my basement. There were issues of moisture even with two dehumidifiers running & subfloors the crew took out & cleaned up after as well. Scheduling: They will schedule a ways out for appointments but only because it's a high demand working system. Others may be able to offer services quicker but there is likely a reason they are not busy. I got several bids in the time I waited for my MidAmerica Basement Systems appointment & encourage you to as well but definitely wait until after your appointment to make a decision. They were not the cheapest but had the best guarantee (100%), best working system, and a few things I've learned in my 20 years of homeownership is if you go cheap & need to redo it your typically spending more than if you did it right the first time & your home is not something to skimp on or take chances. MidAmerica Basement Systems will send you detailed emails as to what you can expect for each appointment. They will mail you a packet of information regarding different systems that work vs fail & throughly explain the dangers & hazards water/moisture in your home will cause. Our basement got so bad from the Derecho the only dry place was in our basement was the shower & my celing developed black mold quickly from the moisture. Not only did they offer a system to waterproof my basement but a whole house dehumidifier & air purifier which would have saved my ceiling if I had earlier. Sales: I had Justin A for sales & he was very thorough in listening to my problems & needs as well as took his time in explaining & showing me how they could fix my issues, how the system works, as well as answering all of my questions with detail & no hurry. He was absolutely great about changes I made in adding work later on (before my appointment) as well. He doesn't make it feel like a sales pitch, is not pushy at all, & really works to get you the most work in your budget (prep & finish work offered), as well as taking his time with you through the entire process. The office crew: The office staff was very polite & helpful. I mostly worked with Desiree S & Kim B who are extremely responsive in working with me. The Crew: My crew consisted of Brandon T, Sam G, & Ethan T who I highly recommend! These young men are the exact type you want on your project! They are polite, respectful, hard working, efficient, trust worthy & have a great work ethic! They not only got the job done in the time allotted but left my basement incredibly clean which I didn't expect. They thoroughly go over the work before & after as well as answer any questions you have along the way & explain in detail any changes if something isn't to plan before just doing something differently. They called before heading to my house as well which I thought was very courteous. I imagine they have a lot of great workers but anyone I know that I send their way, I'll have them ask for these men as the crew on their home. Overall: Overall I give them 5 stars & they earned it all the way. I will say it's winter so not when one typically gets water in their basement so I am unable to review how the system works fairly. I do, however, plan to leave another review after we get some lovely wet Iowa spring weather or melting of our snow mountains to test it out. I don't expect my review to change & feel confident in the upcoming months & years. Thank you MidAmerica Base..."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

A common mistake in Waterloo is using harsh chemical cleaners on older plumbing, which can damage the cast iron or clay pipes found in many homes built in the 1940s-1960s. Homeowners also frequently attempt DIY repairs on main sewer lines or ignore basement floor drains, which are critical for handling runoff from heavy spring rains in the Cedar River valley.

Helpful?

In Waterloo, signs you need drain cleaning include slow drains in older neighborhoods like Highland, gurgling sounds from basement drains, and foul odors during humid summers. If multiple drains are affected or you notice issues after heavy Cedar Valley rainfall, it’s time to call a professional. Scheduling preventive cleaning in late fall before winter is also a smart move for any Waterloo home.

Helpful?

After a professional drain cleaning, you should see significantly improved water flow that can handle heavy usage. A reputable Waterloo service will often provide a video inspection to show the cleared pipe and may offer a warranty. The work area should be clean, and the drains should be tested to ensure they can manage the heavy water flow common during Iowa storm seasons.

Helpful?

For basic drain cleaning maintenance in your Waterloo home, keep a 25-foot drain snake, both cup and flange plungers, and a wet/dry shop vacuum for basement issues. It's also wise to have enzyme-based cleaners for monthly use, along with baking soda and vinegar for a safer alternative to harsh chemicals. Always have the contact information for a licensed plumber on hand.

Helpful?

All plumbing materials must comply with the state code adopted by IA. For potable water supply lines, copper, CPVC, and PEX are excellent choices. PVC and ABS work perfectly for drain systems. Because local water from the Cedar River is hard, mineral scale builds up quickly inside older galvanized pipes. You must also select freeze-resistant materials for unheated spaces to protect your home during harsh winter temperature drops.
