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.

Before encountering our team, the homeowner was faced with a driveway that had noticeably settled and cracked, turning a simple drive home into a bumpy ordeal. As you can see in the "before" photo, the challenge was daunting. But here at MidAmerica Basement Systems, where we thrive on turning home woes into wins, we seamlessly brought the driveway back to its prime. By employing our PolyLevel and NexusPro technologies, as shown in the "after" photo, not only were the unsettling gaps and cracks a thing of the past, but we also ensured a more stable and visually appealing entry to their home. Located right in Cedar Rapids, IA, this home is another testament to our commitment to delivering not just solutions, but also peace of mind through a reliable, remarkable, and lasting enhancement to your home's value and functionality.

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.

In Cedar Rapids, IA, this homeowner reached out to us because their concrete had severely settled, posing safety concerns. Notice in the before photo how the sunken slabs created a slanted and uneven surface full of potential hazards. Our solution was our PolyLevel system which was able to stabilize, lift, and level the concrete, restoring it to a safer position. Then, with the installation of NexusPro Joint Sealant, we sealed the cracks to ward off future water damage. In the after photo, see how the concrete is now level and secure, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
