This Farley, IA home had a damp, musty basement. They wanted to ensure it was mold and moisture free before transforming it into a warm family space. As you can see in the before photo, the environment was not suitable for finishing. However, with our expertise, we installed our innovative WaterGuard system, CleanSpace liner, and the robust TripleSafe sump pump. These solutions worked together to resolve moisture issues permanently. In the after photo, the clean and dry basement stands ready for renovation into a welcoming family room.
A homeowner in Walcott, IA aimed to boost their home's curb appeal before putting it on the market. As shown in the before photo, the sidewalk had settled towards the home, causing water to pool near the foundation during the rainy season, making this more than a cosmetic issue. Our expert team stepped in with our PolyLevel System and precisely lifted and leveled the concrete slabs, they then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal gaps and protect against water damage. Notice the after photo highlighting a leveled sidewalk. This demonstrates how experience-driven solutions restore beauty and value effectively.
Our System Design Specialist, Chris Hebbel, inspected the site and designed a custom stabilization plan using PolyLevel®—a high-strength polyurethane foam injected under the concrete to lift and level it permanently. Project Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Tanner took over the production, seamlessly executing the injection process. They lifted the sunken slabs back to their original position and cleared away those pesky trip hazards for good.
Fast forward to the finished job: the walkway is perfectly level, steady, and beautiful. Navigating the front door no longer requires the awkward hyper-vigilance of walking around in your socks. Thanks to Chris, Justin, and Tanner, the home's front entrance is officially safe, stable, and welcome-mat approved!
Homeowners Norman recently contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the concrete repair options offered. His pool deck was sinking and cracking and it was a trip hazard. He decided that it was time to have the concrete looked at. The polyurethane is pumped under the concrete and lifts and levels the slab. After the slab is lifted the joints of the slabs are sealed with Sealant Pro.
First impressions start at the front door, but for a homeowner in Lost Nation, IA, a sinking front step was making for a shaky welcome. A shifting entrance isn't just an eyesore; it’s a safety hazard that can make anyone feel a bit uneasy.
We stepped in to smooth things over with a two-part solution:
PolyLevel Protection: Our team injected high-density polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize the unbalanced slab, returning it to its original height.
Compression Guard: We installed this specialized joint filler to allow for natural expansion and contraction, preventing future cracks and keeping the finish looking flawless.
The result? A rock-solid, level entrance that provides total peace of mind. Now, coming home feels like a grand entrance every time.
