Before & After Photos

Look at this serious Sterling trip hazard. Jennifer immediately called in our team to provide a permanent fix. Our System Design Specialist, Andrew, decided to use the high-performance duo of PolyLevel® for lifting and NexusPro® for joint sealing. Justin Maddox and Jaylen restored this driveway to its original height and protected it against future erosion so she could use it for a workout space. The result? A safe walkway that looks as good as new. Good choice going with MABS, Jennifer!

Over time the ground underneath concrete begins to settle, causing voids between the ground and concrete. This can than cause the concrete to sink into the void, leaving large spaces between concrete slabs. Mudjacking is a temporary solution, and over time, it causes the same issue. Injecting PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken slabs. The lightweight material offers less weight to the failing soil, preventing future soil settlements. PolyLevel uses an accurate injection that fills the voids, and then lifts, levels, and stabilizes the concrete.

Homeowner Jim contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when he learned that they offered concrete lifting and leveling. The PolyLevel that we offer is a foam that is injected under the concrete slab the foam fills the void under the slab that was the cause of the sinking. The foam expands and hardens to lift the concrete back to its former position. 

In Chillicothe, IL, a homeowner recognized the potential liability of uneven concrete as a trip hazard. This risk, as seen in the before photo, was discouraging for any welcoming space. Using our PolyLevel® system, we expertly lifted and leveled the concrete surfaces. NexusPro® Joint Sealant, which seals joints and prevents water intrusion, was the finishing touch to this sustainable solution and keeps the integrity of the slabs intact. As you can see in the after photo, MidAmerica Basement Systems redefined this customer’s space, adding safety and appearance with precision and industry-leading products.

In Lena, IL, homeowners noticed that their sunken concrete was becoming an eyesore and risk if left unattended. As you can see in the before photo, the uneven slabs were beginning to crack. To address this, we used our PolyLevel system, which precisely lifted and leveled the slabs, stabilizing their surface. Next, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water from causing future shifting. The after photo showcases the restored concrete's sturdy, level surface, ensuring it stays in excellent condition thanks to a precise solution from MidAmerica Basement Systems.
