Before & After Photos

These sinking driveway slabs were a tripping hazard in this Center Point, IA home. The homeowners decided that they should give the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. Soon, foreman Levi Freund and his crew were raising the concrete driveway. The homeowners are happy that they have eliminated the tripping hazard and now have a smooth ride in and out of the garage. 

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.

Homeowners Fred and Susan have lived in their 2005 home for the last 10 years. They first noticed the cracking and sinking with their driveway 2-3 years ago. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the concrete repair options that we offer. The polyurethane foam is injected under the slab to fill the void under the slab. The foam expands and hardens to help lift and level the slab. 

With Summer right around the corner, it’s time to prepare your pool for the warm weather. But is your deck safe and ready to endure all the activity that comes with a day by the pool? Unlevel concrete slabs pose a tripping hazard around the pool. With the help from MidAmerica Basement Systems, we can have your pool deck ready in less than a day. With the use of PolyLevel, concrete slabs will be precisely lifted and leveled in no time at all. PolyLevel has a quick dry time, so you can continue preparing your pool for the Summer season. PolyLevel is very lightweight, roughly 4-6lbs per cubic foot, so there is no added stress to the pool walls (where mudjacking slurry weighs in around 120lbs per cubic foot).
