Before & After Photos

Grant was noticing sloping in his driveway but didn’t realize how much it had sunk until the step up to his sidewalk. The step up to the sidewalk entrance had become higher on one side, making it an unsafe step for him and his guests to access. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway lifted and level. Bryan assessed his situation and offered him the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that is injected to fill voids and stabilize the area, and then expands to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction and cure time of the PolyLevel allows for the concrete to be lifted precisely and allows for the injected area to be accessed within minutes. The driveway is once again level, and the step is no longer a tripping threat to Grant and his guests.

 Homeowner Steve has lived in his home for many years.  He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the concrete repair options that we offer. Concrete Lifting leveling comes in the form of Polyurethane foam. The foam is injected under the slab the foam expands and hardens lifting and leveling the concrete slabs.

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner grew concerned about how their severely uneven concrete slabs would impact their home's resale value and future inspection reports. To address these stark safety and structural concerns before they escalated, System Design Specialist Daniel Kelchen evaluated the site and designed a rapid stabilization strategy. Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration using advanced soil-stabilization and leveling techniques.

The team began by injecting high-density PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the sunken slabs. This lightweight, commercial-grade polymer expanded rapidly to fill underground voids, consolidate the loose subgrade, and lift the heavy concrete plates back to a perfectly flush position.

To safeguard the repair and extend the lifespan of the driveway, Justin and Devin sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro® Joint Sealant, preventing future water infiltration and soil erosion. Thanks to the meticulous workmanship of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the property was left with a safe, level surface, protecting both the homeowner's peace of mind and their financial investment.

Dennis was noticing grass growing between his sidewalk and front porch, and realized that the sidewalk had “pulled” away, creating a large gap. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems about the issue, Cole was gladly to help find the permanent solution. He offered the solution of PolyLevel to lift and level the sidewalk, closing the gap that had appeared. PolyLevel is a special reactive resin that precisely lifts concrete back to a level state. The lightweight material offers less stress on the weakened soil, filling the voids, and providing a permanent solution. A NexusPro Joint Sealant is than applied to the cracks to prevent future washouts, leaving the sidewalk to the stairs in their original, stable positions.
