Before & After Photos

In Davenport, IA, a homeowner faced the challenge of a sinking front step, causing a safety hazard. As you can see in the before photo, settling had taken its toll. By choosing MidAmerica Basement Systems, they found the solution in PolyLevel technology. This innovative product allowed us to lift and stabilize the step promptly and effectively, restoring it to its original position. Notice in the after photo how seamlessly we've returned the entrance to its welcoming, secure state.

Over the years, Robert’s driveway had settled and sunk in some area, causing large tripping hazards. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have PolyLevel injected. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that has a lifting force of 2,000-4,000 pounds per square foot. When injected under the concrete, the polymers fill the voids, then expand to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction time of the PolyLevel allows for accurate and precise lifting and leveling. It also has a quick cure time that allows for the driveway to be accessed within minutes after application. Robert has a leveled and smooth driveway just like when it was first poured thanks to PolyLevel.

Steve M. of DeWitt, IA contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to get his concrete slabs lifted and leveled. He met with his design specialist, Clayton Spinler, who suggested that he have the slabs leveled with PolyLevel, a long term concrete slab lifting and leveling procedure, and filled with NexusPro Joint Sealant. Despite temperature changes, rain, and soil movement, the slab will be level and protected for years to come.

Steve and JoAnn were having issues with entering their home. The concrete step had sunken, leaving a larger step into their house. The dropped concrete step had caused a 3-inch difference between the doorway and top step. Design specialist, Cole had offered the solution of PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the step, preventing the homeowners from having to replace the entire area. The PolyLevel was injected into the stairs, filled the voids, and lifted them to their original position. The once 3-inch difference has now been fixed, making the entrance to their home smoother.

Sunken concrete has caused for a large gap between the foundation and driveway. They contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the concrete mudjacked. It was offered to have the driveway lifted and stabilized with the injection of PolyLevel, which is a more effective and permanent solution. PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane material that won’t put extra stress on the failed soil or against the home’s foundation. PolyLevel also has a quick cure time, allowing for the area to be access within minutes of injection, where it can days takes, and even weeks for accessibility when mudjacking is completed. After PolyLevel, the driveway is back to its original height and is more stable than before, preventing future voids to the injected area.
