Before & After Photos

Morton, IL homeowners contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems because their front walkway was several inches below the easement. Fred Romane came out and took a look, evaluating the needs of the Morton residence.

Before PolyLevel and Concrete Protection System were installed by foreman Levi Freund, the walkway left a lot to be desired. Now, the Morton homeowners come home to a beautiful and functional walkway - that will stay that way for quite a long time. 

In Washington, IL, settled concrete slabs were causing a potentially costly problem as water began seeping directly toward a home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the initial unevenness created a dangerous slope that funneled rainwater straight toward the structure instead of away from it.

MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a precise strategy to eliminate the risk of water damage and restore the concrete to its optimal condition. Our team first addressed the uneven slope by utilizing PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam. By injecting this high-strength foam beneath the sunken concrete, we gently lifted and permanently stabilized the slabs, successfully restoring a proper pitch that directs water safely away from the home.

To ensure long-term protection, our crew then applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out future moisture, preventing water from washing away the soil below and stopping the sinking cycle in its tracks. As shown in the after photo, the property now boasts a smooth, safe, and fully protected surface.

Lifting and leveling a driveway and walkway in Mackinaw, IL 

In Lacon, Illinois, a homeowner was dealing with uneven, unsightly concrete on their driveway and sidewalk, which raised serious concerns about further deterioration. As you can see in the before photo, the slabs were rough and visibly unlevel.

To tackle the issue, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet stepped in to assess the property and design the perfect repair plan. Our expert crew, led by Foreman Chris Allen and featuring team member Markell, executed the solution flawlessly. They utilized the PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize the heavy slabs quickly and efficiently.

In the after photo, you will notice a massive improvement, with the concrete now boasting a smooth, perfectly level finish. To guarantee long-lasting results, Chris, Markell, and the team applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to protect the area against future water intrusion.

In Polo, Illinois, uneven concrete slabs transformed a charming home courtyard into a dangerous tripping hazard. Unsealed joints had allowed rainwater to penetrate the subbase over time, washing away the underlying soil and causing the heavy concrete to sink unevenly.

To resolve the hazard without tearing up the flatwork, System Design Specialist Andrew Sagar evaluated the space and customized a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen arrived on-site to execute the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized injection ports through the sunken slabs and pumped high-density PolyLevel foam into the underlying subgrade. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled empty void spaces, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the heavy concrete slabs precisely back to a level, stable plane.

Once alignment was restored, Ricky and Jaylen sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro Joint Sealant. This durable, UV-resistant sealant prevents future rainwater from washing away the supporting soil beneath the courtyard. After patching the small injection ports, the crew left behind a smooth, safe, and beautifully restored space ready for foot traffic.
