Before & After Photos

In the "before" photo, you can see the culprit: a sinking concrete slab that had turned into a "sneaky hill," practically begging for a trip or tumble.

Our dream team stepped in to save the day. Salesman Ryan Nolen first assessed the damage and mapped out the perfect fix, then Foreman Justin Maddox and his crew took to the field to bring the plan to life.

The Lift: Using our PolyLevel system, Justin injected high-density polyurethane foam to give that slab a precise lift and fill the underlying voids.

The Shield: To ensure the fix lasts, the team applied NexusPro Sealant to the joints, locking out water and preventing future erosion.

The result? A flawlessly level, sturdy walkway that’s officially retired from the "trip hazard" business. Great work by Ryan and Justin on this one!

In Hennepin, IL the front steps of a home had significantly settled, leaving a large space between the top step and the entryway which can be seen in the before image. This not only affected the curb appeal but also posed a safety hazard for the homeowners. As depicted in the after photo, our team expertly installed PolyLevel and NexusPro, raising and sealing the steps to perfectly align with the entryway again. The result? A safer, more appealing entrance and another home problem reliably solved by MidAmerica Basement Systems. 

This homeowner was tired of having to deal with the tripping hazards caused by uneven concrete around their home. Both the driveway and front patio had some significant cracks along with settling. With the use of PolyLevel, we were able to lift and level the concrete eliminating all trip hazards. The best part: PolyLevel only takes 15 minutes to cure!

Homeowners Jed and Anita love spending time outdoors at their private pool however they slowly noticed over the years they noticed that the concrete around their pool started to sink and cack. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems o learn more about the PolyLevel options we offer. PolyLevel is a foam that is pumped under the concrete slab, the foam fills the void under the slab. The foam expands and hardens that lifts and levels the slab.  

Our recent project in Muscatine, IA helped a homeowner tackle street creep from the driveway. Continuous pressure from the concrete expansion was a concern. To protect against long-term damage, we installed our trusted Compression Guard system. Notice in the after photo how this engineered expansion joint stands firm, allowing essential movement during seasonal shifts, unlike insufficient original joints. Thanks to our reliable team and proven solutions, concrete now expands safely, safeguarding the driveway, garage slab, and foundation walls.
