Over time, the ground under a concrete patio will shift and settle, creating voids and leaving the concrete to shift and sink. Dennis was having just this issue, leaving his patio unusable for him and his guests. Some areas had shifted so bad that large gaps had become an issue. Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems, offered the solution of PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is a special polymer material that fills voids, and lifts and stabilizes the sunken slabs. NexusPro Joint Sealant provides a seal to reduce the appearance of the gaps, and most importantly, seals the ground from seeping water. Stopping water seepage prevents the ground from washing out, leaving the concrete level longer. Dennis and his guests can once again use his patio without worries.

Homeowner Dennis was concerned when over time his driveways started to crack and began sinking. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement System he was interested in learning more about the PolyLevel serv ice hat we offer. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the slab of concrete, the foam fills the void under the slab and then lifts the slab as the foam expands.
Jim has had a couple of different companies come and level his driveway, all having the same result, unsolved problem. He had heard of the new injection technology offered by MidAmerica Basement Systems and was ready to try the system before resorting to new poured concrete. Due to the previous mudjacking attempts from other companies, the soil under the concrete kept compressing from the heavy weight of the slurry. PolyLevel is a lightweight polyurethane product that lifts and levels concrete, without the stress that slurry places on the soil. PolyLevel has not only restored Jim’s driveway, but provided him a more permanent solution to his initial problem.
Marty was starting to notice large stress cracks in his driveway. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems about his issue, it was explained to him that it was due to small voids under the concrete. The weight of the concrete itself began sinking into the voids causing the concrete to crack. Dan, design specialist, offered Marty a concrete protection plan that uses a NexusPro Crack Repair and Joint Sealant. The sealant allows for a flexible, durable bond, keeping the cracks from becoming larger and sealing the ground off from water intrusion. Majority of voids come from water washouts, and providing a permanent seal from future washouts. NexusPro sealants also make concrete cracks unnoticeable as if there are no cracks at all.
