Before & After Photos

Sloping and cracked concrete can devalue the appearance of your home, especially if you are putting your house on the market. Having a concrete porch attached to your home is a great selling point, but only when the steps to the porch are safe to walk on. Sloping steps pose a high trip hazard for current and purchasing homeowners. A simple call to MidAmerica Basement Systems can have your sloping steps addressed in less than a day. PolyLevel injections allow for polymers to quickly and accurately lift and level the concrete, reducing tripping hazards and restoring property value. PolyLevel makes concrete leveling stress free.

A homeowner in Watkins, IA was concerned about his visitors safety when navigating the walkways around his home. To solve this common problem, we used our PolyLevel system, which involves injecting high-strength polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize the concrete slabs, as seen in the before photo. In the after photo, you can see the smooth, stable surface we achieved. Additionally, our NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to the cracks and joints, ensuring long-lasting protection against future damage. With over three decades of experience, we're redefining what you can expect from contracting services. 

After a family member took a fall on an uneven slab in this New Hampton, IA driveway, the homeowner knew it was time to take action. As you can see in the before photo, the concrete was significantly unlevel in some portions. To solve this, our team used the PolyLevel system to lift and level the slabs back to their proper positions, as shown in the after photo. To ensure longevity, we sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro. By sourcing these solutions, MidAmerica Basement Systems provided safety and durability for the homeowner's peace of mind. 

Parking lots are high trafficked areas not only with cars, but with people walking as well. Having uneven concrete can pose for high risks of unsafe walking grounds. Marty, the grounds keeper of the business, was concerned for his customers’ safety, and had it brought to attention. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the unlevel concrete and have PolyLevel injected. PolyLevel lifted the 2-inch-dropped slab, back to it’s original, level state. Now customers can walk in the parking lot, without the worry of tripping hazards.

Between Ken’s home and garage, there is a sidewalk that has shifted and sank over the years. He was concerned about how it could be lifted without causing damage to the foundation of the garage and home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems, since in the past they had helped him with his bowing wall and leaking basement issues. Ken was offered the PolyLevel solution, which is similar to the application of mudjacking. Small 3/8^th inch holes are drilled into the concrete so PolyLevel can be injected. Once the solution is injected, the voids are filled and the PolyLevel expands to lift and level the concrete. The lightweight material also does not put extra stress against the foundations, making ideal for the sidewalk. Ken now has a leveled sidewalk in between his garage and home.
