Before & After Photos

Deborah moved into her home in 2003 and plans to live there forever but she is having slab settlement. Slab Settlement is the movement a concrete slap experiences when the soil below can no longer support the weight of it. Reasons this would happened would be because there Is changes in soul’s moisture content, Wash-out of soil under the slab, or poorly compacted fill soil. PolyLEVEL fills the void and the expansion of the polyurethane allows for a precise lift and stabilization of the slab.

A homeowner in Goose Lake, IA had an uneven, unleveled, cracked concrete sidewalk leading up to the side door of their home. The sidewalk sloped to one side making it an uneven surface when you came in and out of the door making it a hazard for the homeowner. As time went on the sidewalk was not getting any better. The homeowner knew it was time to contact the experts in the industry that would be able to lift and level the concrete, MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out and give the homeowner the best recommendation that would meet the needs and goals of their home. The Design Specialist recommended having NexusPro and Polylevel installed within their home.

Installer, Brandon came out to the homeowners home to install NexusPro and PolyLevel. NexusPro is a long-lasting silicone based sealant. It can be applied in extreme temperatures and is resistant to ultraviolet sun rays. It is fifty percent more flexible and can stretch up to twice its size as the concrete moves. It is applied in the cracks of the sidewalk or driveway. PolyLevel has the same idea as mud-jacking but does not break up the concrete or involve any mud. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that is injected through a dime size hole in the concrete that lifts the concrete in a controlled way and then the hole is sealed off. Leaving the sidewalk looking great!

The homeowner in Goose Lake, IA no longer has to worry about tripping or falling coming in and out of their side door to their home thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team.

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.

Over time the ground under concrete can settle causing voids between the ground and concrete. The slabs begin to sink and in serious cases, the concrete will crack under pressure. Applying a sealant will only temporarily fix the issue, until the natural movement of the ground caused the sealant to crack, causing the concrete to sink and crack even more. Injecting PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems not only fills the voids that are under the slabs, but lifts and stabilizes the sunken, cracked concrete. Applying NexusPro Joint Sealant to the cracks helps protect the ground from washing out under the concrete, and provides a bond that is flexible, allowing it to move with the natural movement of the ground. This prevents the sealant from cracking, and stops future cracking.
