Our polyurethane foam lifting the sinking driveway in Coal Valley, IL.
Micheal has lived in his 1950's home for the last 22 years. He plans to live in his current home forever and thought it was time to fix his sinking driveway and garage floors. Over the year this garage floor has sunk over an inch and a half. It was a trip hazard and an eyesore. Along with his garage, his driveway was cracked in a few places and the slabs were all uneven. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement System he was interested in learning options for leveling his driveway. Design Specialist Cole Tatge was eager to teach him about the PolyLevel technology that could help his sinking driveway. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the slab to fill the void underneath. Ports are inserted into the driveway where the poly foam with be inserted. When the void is filled with the foam it starts to expand and harden lifting the slab. After the driveway had been leveled the spaces in between the slabs are filled with Nexus Pro. Nexus pro allows the slab to grow and shrink during hot and cold months without the slab cracking and breaking away.
Homeowner Dennis was concerned when over time his driveways started to crack and began sinking. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement System he was interested in learning more about the PolyLevel serv ice hat we offer. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the slab of concrete, the foam fills the void under the slab and then lifts the slab as the foam expands.
Tom and Sonja were noticing some uneven areas on their driveway and sidewalk, making it dangerous for them and their guests to walk. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their concrete lifted and leveled. During their evaluation, they were introduced to the new PolyLevel solution. PolyLevel uses a lightweight foam that stabilizes sunken slabs by filling the voids, adhering to the soil, and lifting the concrete back to its desired state. Because the material adheres to the ground, it provides a longer lasting solution than typical mudjacking. Now Tom and Sonja have a leveled driveway and sidewalk once again.
This whole slab of concrete of a Sherrard, IL driveway had become completely uneven. The PolyLevel system changed that right around and made the slab even again by lifting it back up.
