Before & After Photos

Homeowner Ed contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when he learned that they offer a concrete lifting and leveling services. He was having issues with his driveway. The driveway was cracked in many places and was also sinking. Having an uneven driveway or sidewalk can be a huge problem. If and when it rains the water can pool and can damage your home. The PolyFoam is injected under the concrete slab to fill the void that has been created that is causing the sinking. The foam beings to rise and expand filling the void and setting the slab back to its former setting.

Homeowner Charles and Elaine have lived in their home since it was built in 1976. For several years they have noticed that the concrete around their pool has been cracking and sinking and has been getting progressively worse every year. 

Small ports are inserted into the concrete slabs where the foam will be pumped under the concrete. The foam is injected under the slab and fills the void under the slab that is causing the sinking and cracking. The foam expands into the void and hardens, causing the concrete slab to lift and level.

This is a great before and after of a concrete slab that has settled significantly. As you can see in the after photo, it took quite a bit of foam to bring the slab back to its original position.
