Before & After Photos

Ever tripped over an uneven concrete slab or held your breath while a parent navigated a shaky front step? That was the reality for these Davenport, Iowa, homeowners before MidAmerica Basement Systems arrived on the scene. Our crew stepped in to turn things around using our PolyLevel system to lift those stubborn, sunken slabs back to their original height. Now, the garage is perfectly level for its upcoming floor coating, and the front steps are rock-solid for visiting family. We topped it off with NexusPro Joint Sealant to block out water and prevent future cracks from sneaking back in. It’s amazing what a little structural TLC can do. This home is now safer, sturdier, and ready for whatever comes next.

This Davenport, IA driveway faced severe issues with concrete sections detaching from the main slab, forming noticeable lips where snow shovels repeatedly caught. Left unaddressed, these uneven panels posed constant trip hazards for pedestrians and threatened vehicle damage from bottoming out.

System Design Specialist Rob Chismark evaluated the property, diagnosing soil erosion as the root cause of the panel separation. Foreman Ricky and crew member Markell moved in to deliver a permanent fix. The team stabilized and leveled the concrete using our high-density PolyLevel® geopolymer foam, filling subterranean voids and gently lifting the detached slabs back to a flush elevation. Additionally, Ricky and Markell applied NexusPro® joint sealant across all joints and cracks to block future water intrusion and prevent subgrade soil washout.

Our expert intervention restored the driveway's structural integrity, enhanced its curb appeal, and permanently solidified the surface against the risk of future subsidence or displacement.

Cracks and unlevel concrete can produce an unsightly appearance to your home. Concrete replacement can be very expensive and time consuming but with MidAmerica Basement Systems injection technology, time and money are reduced significantly. When PolyLevel is injected, a precise lift accrues, allowing for cracks and unlevel concrete to become a smooth transition. A NexusPro Joint Sealant is than applied to all cracks, creating a protection seal from water. Sealing the cracks from water prevents future wash-outs of the ground underneath the concrete. PolyLevel and NexusPro help restore property value and reduce eyesores of the once cracked, unlevel concrete.

Faced with a settling and cracked sidewalk, a homeowner in Davenport reached out to us in search of a fix that avoided the cost of full replacement. The before photo shows how the sidewalk had become uneven and showed visible cracks. We used our PolyLevel system to stabilize and lift the concrete slabs back to a level position. Notice in the after photo, how remarkable the difference is. To prevent future damage, we installed our NexusPro Joint Sealant to ensure water stays out, keeping the sidewalk looking pristine and strong. 

In Davenport, IA, a homeowner faced eroding and settling concrete at their sidewalk, leading to water pooling and hazardous ice conditions. Notice in the before photo how severe the settlement was. To restore safety and functionality, we used our PolyLevel system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam through small, targeted holes to stabilize and lift the slabs back into place. The seamless, durable finish as seen in the after photo was achieved using our NexusPro Joint Sealant, which will effectively resist water intrusions and deteriorating weather elements.
