Before & After Photos

Ever had that sinking feeling about your home's concrete? In Pekin, IL, one homeowner noticed past water sneaking in, causing uneven concrete slabs. So, they gave us a call.

As seen in our before photo, their concrete was folding more than a deck of cards at a poker game. System Design Specialist Steve Maguire stepped in to assess the damage and map out the perfect solution. Soon after, Foreman Justin Maddox and his crew member, Devin, took over the site to get to work.

With PolyLevel, the team lifted and leveled those slabs, while NexusPro was used to seal any pesky joints. Notice the neat, orderly alignment in the after photo? That’s Justin and Devin working their magic in the neighborhood, making sure no water sneaks in again. Always customer-first, always reliable.

Large settlement cracks had become an issue for Wynn’s driveway, stretching from one side to the other. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue addressed. PolyLevel was injected under the slabs to lift and level them back to their original position, stabilizing the area and filling the voids. After PolyLevel, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to all areas of the cracks. NexusPro helps prevent future cracking and seals off the area from seeping water. When water enters the area, it allows for ground washouts and settlement, which cause the slabs to sink and cracks. NexusPro also has a strong, flexible bond that allows for movement between the cold and hot seasons.

Scott was concerned about his unlevel driveway. Some areas had sunk leaving tripping hazards, making it unsafe for his children to play basketball in the driveway. He needed to level the area and when he saw his neighbors installing PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems, he quickly contacted them. Cole evaluated the driveway and talked about the advantages of PolyLevel. The high-density polymers quickly react to fill voids and lift the concrete with accurate results. The quick reactions prevent under- and over-lifting of the slabs, and allowing for the injected area to be accessed within minutes of application. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied to all the cracks to seal them from future rainfall. Diverting the water away from the ground under the concrete, helps creates a longer-lasting level and stable driveway.

Chris’ sidewalk leading to his front door was posing a large tripping threat to him and his guests. The sidewalk had sunken 3-inches from the concrete stairs. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his concrete lifted and leveled. PolyLevel was injected into the sidewalk, filling the massive void that had initially caused the slab to sink. Once the void is filled, the PolyLevel expands, lifting the concrete back to its original position. Chris no longer has a 3-inch drop between his sidewalk and concrete stairs.

Homeowner Sandy has lived in her home for the last 12 years. In the last two years, she has slowly noticed that her driveway and sidewalk started to sink and crack. She knew that this was a safety hazard and wanted to seek professional advice on how to advance on correcting the situation. She decided to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn about the PolyLevel technology that is offered. PolyLevel is a foam that is pumped under the concrete slabs to help bring them back up. The PolyLvell fills the void under the slab that is causing the slab.
