Before & After Photos

The concrete slabs under Jack’s stairs to his porch had sunken and shifted so much, it made the stairs unsafe to walk on, making it necessary for him to remove the stairs to prevent anyone from walking on them. His main concern was how much it was going to cost him to have it torn up and replaced. He was than introduced to the alternative solution of PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers to lift, level, and stable sunken concrete slabs. Smaller than dime-sized holes are drilled into the slabs, and PolyLevel is injected, filling the voids that initially caused the slabs to sink. After the voids are filled, the polyurethane expands, lifting the concrete back to its level, stable state.

Sunken slabs can produce unsafe walking areas, and can be simply fixed with PolyLevel. MidAmerica Basement Systems uses a polyurethane based material that fills in voids under concrete, that accurately lifts and levels the slabs. PolyLevel reacts to precisely lift the slabs without under- or over-lifting, offering the best solution. It also provides a permanent stable solution, preventing the concrete from sinking again.

Homeowner Heather contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems after learning that we offer concrete lifting and leveling services. She wanted to learn more about how these service work. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under a concrete slab the foam then expands and hards lifting the slab back to where it was previously. PolyLeveling is a great way to lift an level driveway, sidewalks and garage floors along with patios. 

Mike was having issues with his driveway sinking and pulling away from his home. Voids had become apparent under the concrete slabs, causing them to sink and pull away from the home, leaving 2 inch gaps between the driveway and home’s foundation. Injecting PolyLevel under the concrete slabs allows for the void to fill and lift the concrete back up against the home. PolyLevel provides an accurate lift with a permanent solution for stable concrete.

Homeowner Shelly has lived in her early 2000’s home since it was a new build in the neighborhood. She contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the PolyLevel service that we offer. PolyLevel is foam that is injected under your concrete slabs. The foam fills the void under the slab that then lifts and levels it back into place. Shelly had her garage and driveway lifted with PolyLevel.
