Before & After Photos

This is a great before and after of a concrete slab that has settled significantly. As you can see in the after photo, it took quite a bit of foam to bring the slab back to its original position.

Homeowners Norman recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the concrete repair options offered. His pool deck was sinking and cracking and it was a trip hazard. He decided that it was time to have the concrete looked at. The polyurethane is pumped under the concrete and lifts and levels the slab. After the slab is lifted the joints of the slabs are sealed with Sealant Pro. 

Overtime, ground under your concrete can wash out and settle, causing it to become uneven. Having MidAmerica Basement Systems inject PolyLevel, will restore your concrete back to level, without the worry of it washing out or settling again. PolyLevel is made of high-density polymers that are environmentally friendly, and won’t rot or deteriorate underground. For a long-lasting, stable concrete slab, PolyLevel is the way to go!

Steve was concerned about the large drop between his driveway and walkway to his porch. The walkway had roughly dropped 2-inches, leading to potential tripping issues for him and his family. He had heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems injection technology, PolyLevel. Chad had explained to Steve that injecting the PolyLevel will allow for the voids under the concrete to be filled. Once they are filled, the PolyLevel will expand to lift and level the concrete, leaving a smooth transition between the walkway and driveway. Steve also wouldn’t need to worry of avoiding the area due to quick cure time. His family and himself would be able to use that area within minutes of application. The lightweight material allows for a powerful lift, that is accurate and precise, so it will never be over lifted. No more tripping hazards are present for Steve and his family.

In Delmar, IA, a homeowner called us with concerns about the city sidewalk in front of their home. Over time, the concrete had begun to settle, creating an uneven surface which became a tripping hazard. Using our PolyLevel system, we addressed the issue by carefully injecting a high-strength polyurethane foam through pea-sized holes, stabilizing and raising the slab to its original position. To protect against future complications, we sealed all cracks and joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Notice in the after photo how everything looks smooth and secure, providing a safe walkway once again.
