Before & After Photos

Lifting and leveling a driveway and walkway in Mackinaw, IL 

Homeowner Anthony contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when they noticed over time that their sidewalk and driveway were sinking and cracking. He wanted to learn more about the PolyLevel technology that we offer. PolyLeveling is a foam that is injected under the concrete slab and is used to lift and level the slab back to its previous place.

In Freeport, IL, a homeowner faced uneven, hazardous concrete around their property, making their outdoor space unsafe. As you can see in the before photo, the concrete had settled, creating problematic trip hazards. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to solve the issue. Using PolyLevel, we lifted and leveled the slabs, restoring them to their proper elevation. Then, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the joints and protect against further water damage. In the after photo, you'll see the transformed, smooth, and secure concrete, expertly treated to guard against the elements. 

Homeowner Richard has lived in his home for many years. Slowly over time, they noticed that the sidewalk leading to their front door was slowly starting to crack and sink and break away from the front steps. PolyLevel foam is injected under the slab and the foam then expands and hardens lifting and leveling the slab. 

Byron was not happy that his sidewalk had sunken to his porch, causing a large step up, making it difficult for his family to enter his home. He was unsure of how to fix his problem and called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist, Dan, offered the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that fills the voids under concrete, creating a stable solution. Once the PolyLevel reacts, it lifts to sunken slabs to the original height. With the sidewalk being back to its original height, Byron’s family can now easily access his porch to his home.
