Before & After Photos

Homeowner Mike has noticed overtime that his driveway and sidewalk were sinking and cracking. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems he wanted to learn more about the PolyLevel technology that we offer. The PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the concrete slab. The foam fills the void under the slap that is causing it to sink and crack. The foam then expands and hardens lifting the concrete to its former place.

PolyLevel injections can help lift sunken concrete slabs, leveling them back to their original state. Small dime-sized holes are drilled into the concrete, poly ports are then placed along the holes. Polymers are injected into the ports, mixing with a reactive resin, to expand and fill the voids. After all voids are filled, PolyLevel lifts the concrete, precisely leveling the slabs. The lightweight material offers less stress on the ground underneath the slabs, preventing future sinking. PolyLevel can help repair all types of sinking concrete: driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks, stoops, porches, concrete steps, interior floor slabs, and additions.

Carl was concerned for his neighbors who take their daily walks around the block because of the uneven sidewalk in front of his home. He thought about having the concrete re-poured but realized it could take weeks on end to tear it up and repour the sidewalk. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to see what kind of solution they had to offer. Cole introduced Carl to PolyLevel. PolyLevel is made of high-density polymers that are injected under the slabs to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction times allows for the slabs to be level once again in minutes, providing the permanent stabilization they need. PolyLevel also has a quick cure time that allows for the sidewalk to be accessed within minutes after application, so Carl’s neighbors can continue their walks without the worry of tripping hazards. 

Homeowners Jim and Kitty have lied in their 1950's home for the last 13 years. Over time they slowly started to notice that the concrete slabs outside of their home were cracking and breaking. The shifting slabs were a trip hazard and an eyesore.  The decision to seek professional advice came when they heard about the PolyLevel foam that we offer. The foam is injected under the concrete slab. The foam then expands and then hardens to lift and level the slab.
