Before & After Photos

In Bettendorf, IA, this homeowner faced worsening driveway cracks, worried replacement would be necessary if left unchecked. As you can see in the before photo, the cracking and settlement was significant. We resolved this with our PolyLevel system, which stabilized and leveled the slabs using high-strength foam. After lifting the driveway to its proper elevation, we utilized NexusPro to secure all of the cracks and joints, expertly designed to deflect the midwest freeze-thaw cycles. With over 35 years of experience, we restored this homeowners driveway and peace of mind. 

After System Design Specialist Rob Chismark assessed the scene, Foreman Justin Maddox and Tanner stepped in to work their magic. As you can see in the "after" photo, the concrete is behaving itself once again!

Our expert crew used the PolyLevel system to lift the slab back into place and sealed it up with NexusPro for long-term resilience. Now, this rather rowdy slab has settled back into its family: leveled, well-behaved, and tripping up zero toes. That's another job marked 'safe' on the yard dance floor!

In Bettendorf, IA, this concrete walkway was sinking, uneven, and practically begging to trip someone up. Worried about worse complications down the road, the homeowner knew it was time to call in the pros.

Our System Design Specialist, Ryan Nolen, mapped out the perfect game plan. Then, Foreman Justin Maddox and his crew member, Tanner, swooped in to save the day. Using our lightweight PolyLevel® foam, they lifted and leveled the heavy slabs back into place without needing bulky machinery. To lock it all in, they applied NexusPro® to seal the joints and cracks, keeping moisture out for good.

Now, the walkway is as smooth and safe as a Sunday stroll. Huge thanks to this incredible homeowner for trusting Ryan, Justin, and Tanner to level the playing field—literally!

Jennifer was very upset that her sidewalk had sunken 2 inches from her porch when her home was recently new. She searched for solutions to her problem and found MidAmerica Basement Systems’ PolyLevel solution. During her inspection, Mac had diagnosed how the issue had become apparent so quickly. A downspout was placed right next to the sidewalk, and was causing washouts, leaving large voids for the concrete to sink in. PolyLevel was injected under the concrete to fill the void, made of a waterproof material, and lift the slab back to its original position. PolyLevel helped close the 2-inch gap between the sidewalk and porch, leaving it looking the same as it did when it was first poured. It was also suggested that installing a new downspout line away from the concrete to prevent future washouts elsewhere.

Terrance and Deb were having issues with their sidewalk to their front door. Some areas had sunk terribly, leaving the entrance unsafe to access. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their sidewalk lifted and leveled for the safety of their guests. Cole offered them the solution PolyLevel to be injected under the concrete. Once PolyLevel is injected, it fills the voids to create a stable hold, and expands to lift the concrete back to level. After PolyLevel sets, NexusPro Joint Sealant is applied to all the cracks to prevent future washouts of the ground underneath. This allows for a longer-lasting, stabilized fix for the sidewalk. Terrance and Deb no longer worry of tripping hazards for their guests.
