Newer Home Has Issues with Sinking Driveway Four Years After it is Poured in Farley, IA

Rick and LuAnn were very upset. They had just built their home within the last 4 years and were already seeing and having issues with their driveway and sidewalk sinking, causing tripping hazards and unsightly views. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. They were offered the solution PolyLevel, which is a lightweight material that will significantly reduce the extra unnecessary weight on the weakened soil. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers that fill voids, and expand to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. PolyLevel instantly cures to provide a solid and stable surface for the slab, and when combined with NexusPro Joint Sealant, a flexible polyurethane bond diverts water away from the cracks, preventing washouts.

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.

Tom and Sonja were noticing some uneven areas on their driveway and sidewalk, making it dangerous for them and their guests to walk. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their concrete lifted and leveled. During their evaluation, they were introduced to the new PolyLevel solution. PolyLevel uses a lightweight foam that stabilizes sunken slabs by filling the voids, adhering to the soil, and lifting the concrete back to its desired state. Because the material adheres to the ground, it provides a longer lasting solution than typical mudjacking. Now Tom and Sonja have a leveled driveway and sidewalk once again.

Lifting and Leveling Sunken Slab for Shelter Pavilion in Epworth, IA

In the camping grounds, there is a sheltered pavilion on a concrete slab. Over the years, the ground had settled, causing voids underneath the slab. Due to the weight of the pavilion, the slab started cracking and sinking into the voids, leaving for a hazardous area to use. Grounds keeper Mike reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems in hopes that PolyLevel would be able to fix the sunken and cracked slab. PolyLevel was injected under the slab to fill the voids. Once the voids were filled, the PolyLevel expanded to lift the sunken areas, and provide a stable solution for the slab. NexusPro Joint Sealant was then applied to all cracks around the slab to help create a longer lasting slab for the pavilion. 

Large Sunken Slab is Lifted with PolyLevel in Cameron, IL

Gary was having issues with his sidewalk sinking and exposing the from underneath his front porch. It was very frustrating trying to sell his home with a very ugly entrance to the home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the sidewalk lifted and leveled once again. PolyLevel was injected under the concrete and properly lifted the sunken slab, stabilizing the area. Once the area was lifted, the from for the porch was no longer visible, making the entrance to Gary’s home appealing once again.
