Before & After Photos

Homeowner Sandy has lived in her home for the last 12 years. In the last two years, she has slowly noticed that her driveway and sidewalk started to sink and crack. She knew that this was a safety hazard and wanted to seek professional advice on how to advance on correcting the situation. She decided to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn about the PolyLevel technology that is offered. PolyLevel is a foam that is pumped under the concrete slabs to help bring them back up. The PolyLvell fills the void under the slab that is causing the slab.

Over time, the ground under a concrete patio will shift and settle, creating voids and leaving the concrete to shift and sink. Dennis was having just this issue, leaving his patio unusable for him and his guests. Some areas had shifted so bad that large gaps had become an issue. Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems, offered the solution of PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is a special polymer material that fills voids, and lifts and stabilizes the sunken slabs. NexusPro Joint Sealant provides a seal to reduce the appearance of the gaps, and most importantly, seals the ground from seeping water. Stopping water seepage prevents the ground from washing out, leaving the concrete level longer. Dennis and his guests can once again use his patio without worries.

Ever notice uneven concrete starting to look messier than laundry day? That’s what was happening on this Peoria, IL homeowner’s surface. Before things got worse, they reached out to us at MidAmerica Basement Systems for a solution.

Our system design specialist, Tim Rollet, stepped in to inspect the damage and map out the perfect repair plan. When it was time for production, foreman Justin Maddox and his crew member Devin took over the job. After a little cutting-edge wizardry with PolyLevel®, Justin and Devin lifted—and smiled—as the concrete returned to its proper position.

Between freeze-thaw cycles and sunshine, the crew sealed it up tight with NexusPro, ensuring long-lasting beauty with fewer worries. Take a look at the universe’s small holes yielding big peace of mind for this happy homeowner!

Uneven and sunken concrete slabs along a driveway in Peoria, Illinois, created hazardous tripping conditions and threatened long-term structural damage. Unsealed joints allowed rainwater to penetrate the subbase, eroding the underlying soil and creating voids beneath the driveway flatwork.

To eliminate the hazard without invasive concrete demolition, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet evaluated the site and designed a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. arrived on-site to execute the precision lift. The team drilled small injection ports through the sunken slabs and pumped high-density PolyLevel polyurethane foam directly beneath the concrete matrix. As the foam expanded, it filled subterranean voids, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the heavy slabs back to a level, stable plane.

Following the lift, Justin and Devin S. sealed all cracks and expansion joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant. This flexible, UV-resistant sealant creates a durable barrier that blocks future water infiltration and prevents subgrade soil erosion. The crew patched the injection holes, leaving behind a smooth, safe, and long-lasting driveway surface ready for immediate use.

Homeowner Dennis was concerned when over time his driveways started to crack and began sinking. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement System he was interested in learning more about the PolyLevel serv ice hat we offer. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the slab of concrete, the foam fills the void under the slab and then lifts the slab as the foam expands.
