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.
Ever walk outside and discover your front porch is gearing up for a wobbly dance party? Our homeowner in Center Point, IA, was ready to trade those tumbles for something a little smoother.
Before the fix, that porch was a qualified trip champion—seriously, not fun! Our design specialist, Shawn Conaway, stepped in to map out the perfect recovery plan, and then Justin Maddox and his crew took over the heavy lifting.
Using our trusty PolyLevel and NexusPro, Justin leveled things out to picture-perfect straight. That romantic wobble is officially a thing of the past. Now, you might just find their guests lingering a little too long admiring the seamless concrete.
From wavy to steadily sturdy? Just another day at the office for Shawn, Justin, and the rest of us at MidAmerica Basement Systems!
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).
Dee had begun to notice a downward slope in her sidewalk, making it difficult to access her front stoop. She knew she needed to fix the issue before it became worse, and contacted the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Cole offered her an injection technology solution that was far more advanced than typical mudjacking. The polymer solution is injected under the concrete to fill the void, and then expands to lift and stabilize the slab. The high-density foam offers a lifting strength up to 4,000 pounds per square foot, making it effortlessly to level the sidewalk. The quick cure time of PolyLevel also allows for Dee to access the area within minutes of injection, unlike typical mudjacking which can take several days, even weeks to properly cure.
