Before & After Photos

Barb was having issues with her driveway sinking, and some areas even cracking under the weight. Water would begin to puddle in areas of the driveway after rainfalls. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have mudjacking, but provided her with a longer-lasting solution. PolyLevel uses the same techniques as mudjacking, but with greater results. Small 5/8^th inch holes are drilled into the concrete to inject the PolyLevel. PolyLevel then fills the voids and expands to lift and level the concrete. The material stabilizes the concrete, offering a longer lasting solution. Appling a NexusPro Joint Sealant to all the cracks seals off the area, diverting the water away from the driveway and ground underneath the slabs. The sealant also helps reduce the appearance of the cracks that have been created, making the driveway look new.

In Janesville, IA, a homeowner faced the common but troublesome issue of a settling front step, which had left an unsightly gap between the stoop and the step. This not only affected the home's curb appeal but also posed a potential tripping hazard. As you can see in the before photo, the mismatch was quite significant. By employing our innovative PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions, we were able to lift the settled step back to its original position and seal the gap, effectively eliminating the hazard and restoring the aesthetic appeal of the home's entrance. The after photo showcases a seamless and safe transition between the stoop and the step, demonstrating our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience through reliable and long-lasting repairs.

Cracks are created over time and will just continue to get worse if they are not fixed. This was an issue at this homeowner's home in Waterloo, IA. Over time the cracks in the sidewalk started to grow and create a hazardous walkway for the homeowners. It was time to have the cracks looked at and get fixed! The MidAmerica Basement Systems Team was happy to help this homeowner get their sidewalk back to the way they wanted it. 

NexusPro is a long-lasting based sealant. It is fifty percent more flexible than other sealants and can stretch up to twice its size. It will not crack as the concrete moves over time. It is applicable in extreme temperatures and is resistant to ultra rays from the sun. It is applied by first cleaning out the cracks, a bead of NexusPro is applied, the second application of NexusPro, and then a third application. Leaving your cracks filled and no longer a hazardous to you.

Mike and Sharon began to notice water seeping into a small portion of their basement wall and quickly reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist, Wes, inspected their situation and pointed out the main issue. The driveway had sunken, and pulled away from the home’s foundation, allowing water to seep in between and into the basement. He offered PolyLevel to help lift and level the concrete back against the foundation to prevent future water seepage. After the concrete was leveled, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to the crack, helping direct water away from the foundation, and a new waterproof system was installed to prevent any future leaks. Mike and Sharon not only have a waterproofed basement but a newly leveled driveway.
