Before & After Photos

After a family member took a fall on an uneven slab in this New Hampton, IA driveway, the homeowner knew it was time to take action. As you can see in the before photo, the concrete was significantly unlevel in some portions. To solve this, our team used the PolyLevel system to lift and level the slabs back to their proper positions, as shown in the after photo. To ensure longevity, we sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro. By sourcing these solutions, MidAmerica Basement Systems provided safety and durability for the homeowner's peace of mind. 

Parking lots are high trafficked areas not only with cars, but with people walking as well. Having uneven concrete can pose for high risks of unsafe walking grounds. Marty, the grounds keeper of the business, was concerned for his customers’ safety, and had it brought to attention. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to address the unlevel concrete and have PolyLevel injected. PolyLevel lifted the 2-inch-dropped slab, back to it’s original, level state. Now customers can walk in the parking lot, without the worry of tripping hazards.

Between Ken’s home and garage, there is a sidewalk that has shifted and sank over the years. He was concerned about how it could be lifted without causing damage to the foundation of the garage and home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems, since in the past they had helped him with his bowing wall and leaking basement issues. Ken was offered the PolyLevel solution, which is similar to the application of mudjacking. Small 3/8^th inch holes are drilled into the concrete so PolyLevel can be injected. Once the solution is injected, the voids are filled and the PolyLevel expands to lift and level the concrete. The lightweight material also does not put extra stress against the foundations, making ideal for the sidewalk. Ken now has a leveled sidewalk in between his garage and home.

The PolyLevel system brought the settled slabs back to their original position while the NexusPro Joint Sealant sealed all cracks and joints to ensure it was protected from the elements.
