Before & After Photos

Uneven sidewalks can pose serious tripping hazards. With a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems, sinking slabs can be fixed, restoring safety. PolyLevel is injected under the slabs, filling the voids that are causing the slabs to sink, and lifting them back to their original position. The quick reaction time of PolyLevel allow for precise and accurate lifts, so no under- or over-lifting occurs. PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken concrete with a lightweight material that will not put extra pressure on the soil under the slabs.

Rick and LuAnn were very upset. They had just built their home within the last 4 years and were already seeing and having issues with their driveway and sidewalk sinking, causing tripping hazards and unsightly views. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. They were offered the solution PolyLevel, which is a lightweight material that will significantly reduce the extra unnecessary weight on the weakened soil. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers that fill voids, and expand to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. PolyLevel instantly cures to provide a solid and stable surface for the slab, and when combined with NexusPro Joint Sealant, a flexible polyurethane bond diverts water away from the cracks, preventing washouts. 

Homeowner Brian has lived in his home since it was built in 1999. Ver the last few years, he started to notice that his driveway and sidewalks were failing and sinking. He contacted MidAmerica Basement System wanting to learn more about our PolyLevel technology. He was looking to sell his home and wanted to make sure the value and quality of his home was at its best. The PolyLevel can be used on any concrete slab. The PolyFoam fills the void under the slab and then while it is expanding it lifts the slab back to its previous place.

Jason has been having issues with water pooling on his sidewalk due to sinking areas of the concrete. He was unsure how it would be fixed because it was a special and unique pour that had been designed just for his home. He contacted many concrete lifting companies for suggestions on how to fix the issue. Each company had a solution, but all had a downfall of large, discolored solutions that would distract the eye to the injected area. When Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived to offer him PolyLevel, Jason was still hesitant. Cole continued to discuss the PolyLevel solution with small 5/8^th injection sites that are covered to match the rest of the concrete so the end result does not distract the eye. PolyLevel will also lift, level, and stabilize the sunken slab to prevent water from pooling in the area. The once 5-inch sunken concrete, no longer pools with water and is back to level.

Homeowner Kathy was not happy about the look of the sidewalk over the years. The concrete had shifted and settled, pulling away from her front stoop. She had heard of the new injection technology from MidAmerica Basement Systems, and proceeded to contact them for more information. During evaluation of the sidewalk, it was proposed that PolyLevel be injected under the concrete. PolyLevel uses polymers that accurately lift and raise sunken slabs in a quick process. The lightweight material allows for a more permanent solution than mudjacking, and allows for access of the injected area in as little as 15 minutes. Now Kathy has a sidewalk that is level and properly set against her stoop again.
