Before & After Photos

In Epworth, IA, a homeowner faced an uneven and unsightly concrete parking area that limited usability and lowered the property's curb appeal. Water pooling and soil settlement had caused the heavy concrete slabs to sink, creating dangerous tripping hazards and an unstable surface. System Design Specialist Shawn Conaway inspected the site and designed a complete stabilization plan. To execute the restoration, Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen stepped in to bring the parking area back to a flush, stable finish.

The team began by drilling small, non-destructive injection ports into the settled slabs. Ricky and Jaylen then injected the advanced PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the liquid foam expanded, it filled the underground voids, consolidated the loose soil, and gently lifted the heavy slabs back to an even plane. To protect the newly leveled parking area from future erosion, the crew sealed all open cracks and joints with NexusPro® Joint Sealant, which keeps water from seeping back under the concrete. Thanks to the expert work of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the homeowner now has a durable, seamless, and safe parking area that instantly enhances their property's value.

Gary was having issues with his sidewalk sinking and exposing the from underneath his front porch. It was very frustrating trying to sell his home with a very ugly entrance to the home. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the sidewalk lifted and leveled once again. PolyLevel was injected under the concrete and properly lifted the sunken slab, stabilizing the area. Once the area was lifted, the from for the porch was no longer visible, making the entrance to Gary’s home appealing once again.

In Milan, IL a concerned son sought our expertise at MidAmerica Basement Systems for his mother's safety and convenience. Before, uneven concrete slabs were making trash bin management difficult and posed water drainage issues. Utilizing our PolyLevel system, we precisely lifted and leveled the concrete, efficiently correcting the imbalance. Then, with our NexusPro Joint Sealant, we sealed the cracks to prevent further soil erosion and water intrusion. As shown in the after photo, these methods provide lasting stability and improved functionality. 

Over time, the ground and soil under concrete begins to shift and settle, leaving large voids. When voids are present, the concrete sinks and cracks due to lack of support. When this happens around concrete pool decks, it possesses safety hazards for those who access the pool. Injecting PolyLevel is the best solution to reduce the tripping hazards without damaging the pool itself. The lightweight material is less than 4lbs per cubic foot, reducing the stress that normal mudjacking (120lbs/cf) would place on the pool and existing soil. After the voids are filled, the concrete lifts and levels, reducing the tripping hazards, and becomes stable once again.
