Before & After Photos

In Polo, Illinois, uneven concrete slabs transformed a charming home courtyard into a dangerous tripping hazard. Unsealed joints had allowed rainwater to penetrate the subbase over time, washing away the underlying soil and causing the heavy concrete to sink unevenly.

To resolve the hazard without tearing up the flatwork, System Design Specialist Andrew Sagar evaluated the space and customized a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen arrived on-site to execute the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized injection ports through the sunken slabs and pumped high-density PolyLevel foam into the underlying subgrade. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled empty void spaces, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the heavy concrete slabs precisely back to a level, stable plane.

Once alignment was restored, Ricky and Jaylen sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro Joint Sealant. This durable, UV-resistant sealant prevents future rainwater from washing away the supporting soil beneath the courtyard. After patching the small injection ports, the crew left behind a smooth, safe, and beautifully restored space ready for foot traffic.

Homeowner Anthony contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when they noticed over time that their sidewalk and driveway were sinking and cracking. He wanted to learn more about the PolyLevel technology that we offer. PolyLeveling is a foam that is injected under the concrete slab and is used to lift and level the slab back to its previous place.

In Freeport, IL, a homeowner faced uneven, hazardous concrete around their property, making their outdoor space unsafe. As you can see in the before photo, the concrete had settled, creating problematic trip hazards. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to solve the issue. Using PolyLevel, we lifted and leveled the slabs, restoring them to their proper elevation. Then, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the joints and protect against further water damage. In the after photo, you'll see the transformed, smooth, and secure concrete, expertly treated to guard against the elements. 

This Dixon homeowner was prepping for the winter and decided their driveway needed to be leveled for the cars this winter. They immediately called MABS and Andrew went out to give a custom quote to solve their problem. Andrew decided the usual PolyLEVEL and NexusPro were the solution but added a compression guard to help with the long-term stabilization of the concrete. Sr and Jaylen went out and installed the system in one day and the homeowner was so pleased with the results!

Homeowner Richard has lived in his home for many years. Slowly over time, they noticed that the sidewalk leading to their front door was slowly starting to crack and sink and break away from the front steps. PolyLevel foam is injected under the slab and the foam then expands and hardens lifting and leveling the slab.
