Homeowners Richard and Kay contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems about the front sidewalk to their home. The sidewalk was cracked and sinking in many places. They were interested in the PolyFoam service that we offer. The PolyFoam is a foam that is injected under the slab of concrete that expands and lifts the slab back to its former place.
Homeowner Doug and Deb recently had PolyLevel foam injected under their driveway. Over the last few years, they have noticed that their driveway and sidewalk were sinking. They contact MidAmerica Basement Systems when they were ready to seek professional advice. The PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the slab that fills the void. The foam expands and hardens lifting the slab back to its former position.
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.
