Before & After Photos

Over the years, Robert’s driveway had settled and sunk in some area, causing large tripping hazards. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have PolyLevel injected. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that has a lifting force of 2,000-4,000 pounds per square foot. When injected under the concrete, the polymers fill the voids, then expand to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction time of the PolyLevel allows for accurate and precise lifting and leveling. It also has a quick cure time that allows for the driveway to be accessed within minutes after application. Robert has a leveled and smooth driveway just like when it was first poured thanks to PolyLevel.

Notice in the before photo, the uneven, sunken concrete at this Eldridge, IA home presented an immediate safety hazard and a rising risk of structural deterioration. Concerned about worsening conditions and potential water damage, the homeowner turned to MidAmerica Basement Systems for a permanent solution. Following an initial assessment by System Design Specialist Rob Chismark to diagnose the subgrade settlement, Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Jaylen arrived on site to deliver an expert fix.

Our team restored stability to the property by applying high-density PolyLevel® geopolymer foam to fill subterranean voids, compact the underlying soil, and lift the affected slabs back to a flush alignment. The crew then applied NexusPro® joint sealant across all joints and cracks to lock out surface water, protecting the concrete against harsh UV rays and intense Midwest freeze-thaw cycles. As shown in the after photo, the concrete is now perfectly even, securely sealed, and aesthetically enhanced, demonstrating the true value of expert intervention.

In Zwingle, IA, a homeowner faced the issue of a settled sidewalk that allowed water to pool up in some areas. We at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in promptly. Using our advanced PolyLevel system, we injected high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the concrete, slighting lifting and leveling the path with precision. Once perfectly stabilized, our team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to shield the cracks, providing long lasting protection. 

In Zwingle, a homeowner faced an issue with their settling sidewalk, the more it settled, the higher the step to their entryway got. As you can see in the before image, this was a problem for both safety, accessibility, and aesthetics. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we addressed this through our reliable concrete repair services. We used the PolyLevel system to inject high-strength foam to stabilize and lift the concrete back into its proper place. To ensure long-lasting results, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to seal the cracks and joints, safeguarding the surface against future soil erosion and maintaining its appealing look. 

Sinking concrete slabs around the foundation of your home can provide openings for rain to seep into and pool around the foundation. If your foundation leaks, your basement becomes wet. Injecting PolyLevel under the slabs allows for the concrete to be lifted back to its original position. Polymers precisely lift and stabilize the concrete back against the foundation, helping prevent water from seeping between the concrete and foundation. Applying a NexusPro Joint Sealant, protects the space between the foundation and concrete even more. PolyLevel not only lifts and stabilizes sunken and cracked concrete, but can also help prevent water from leaking into your basement foundation.
