Byron was having issues with sunken areas in his driveway, leaving it unsafe and decreasing the value of his home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway mudjacked. Once Dan arrived at Byron’s home, he offered him a better solution than mudjacking. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that fills the voids under concrete, and reacts to lift, level and stabilize the slab. The martial is waterproof, preventing it from washing out much like mudjacking, offering a more permanent solution to concrete leveling. The fast reaction time also allows for a precise and accurate lift and level.
Homeowner Scott has lived in his home for the last 25 years. Over time he slowly started to notice that concrete slabs that were apart of his driveway and patio were starting to crack and sink. This was a trip hazard and also was an eyesore to his outdoor area. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Sytems he wanted to learn more about the PolyLevel options that we offer. Polyevel is a foam that is injected under concrete slabs that then expands and harden to lift the concrete.
Morton, IL homeowners contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems because their front walkway was several inches below the easement. Fred Romane came out and took a look, evaluating the needs of the Morton residence.
Before PolyLevel and Concrete Protection System were installed by foreman Levi Freund, the walkway left a lot to be desired. Now, the Morton homeowners come home to a beautiful and functional walkway - that will stay that way for quite a long time.
Jim has had a couple of different companies come and level his driveway, all having the same result, unsolved problem. He had heard of the new injection technology offered by MidAmerica Basement Systems and was ready to try the system before resorting to new poured concrete. Due to the previous mudjacking attempts from other companies, the soil under the concrete kept compressing from the heavy weight of the slurry. PolyLevel is a lightweight polyurethane product that lifts and levels concrete, without the stress that slurry places on the soil. PolyLevel has not only restored Jim’s driveway, but provided him a more permanent solution to his initial problem.
Marty was starting to notice large stress cracks in his driveway. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems about his issue, it was explained to him that it was due to small voids under the concrete. The weight of the concrete itself began sinking into the voids causing the concrete to crack. Dan, design specialist, offered Marty a concrete protection plan that uses a NexusPro Crack Repair and Joint Sealant. The sealant allows for a flexible, durable bond, keeping the cracks from becoming larger and sealing the ground off from water intrusion. Majority of voids come from water washouts, and providing a permanent seal from future washouts. NexusPro sealants also make concrete cracks unnoticeable as if there are no cracks at all.
