Before & After Photos

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner grew concerned about how their severely uneven concrete slabs would impact their home's resale value and future inspection reports. To address these stark safety and structural concerns before they escalated, System Design Specialist Daniel Kelchen evaluated the site and designed a rapid stabilization strategy. Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration using advanced soil-stabilization and leveling techniques.

The team began by injecting high-density PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the sunken slabs. This lightweight, commercial-grade polymer expanded rapidly to fill underground voids, consolidate the loose subgrade, and lift the heavy concrete plates back to a perfectly flush position.

To safeguard the repair and extend the lifespan of the driveway, Justin and Devin sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro® Joint Sealant, preventing future water infiltration and soil erosion. Thanks to the meticulous workmanship of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the property was left with a safe, level surface, protecting both the homeowner's peace of mind and their financial investment.

Dennis was noticing grass growing between his sidewalk and front porch, and realized that the sidewalk had “pulled” away, creating a large gap. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems about the issue, Cole was gladly to help find the permanent solution. He offered the solution of PolyLevel to lift and level the sidewalk, closing the gap that had appeared. PolyLevel is a special reactive resin that precisely lifts concrete back to a level state. The lightweight material offers less stress on the weakened soil, filling the voids, and providing a permanent solution. A NexusPro Joint Sealant is than applied to the cracks to prevent future washouts, leaving the sidewalk to the stairs in their original, stable positions.
