Before & After Photos

Brad’s driveway had dropped roughly 6 inches from the garage's foundation, producing a large drop under the doorway. It was also creating tripping hazards from his driveway to his walkway. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway leveled. PolyLevel was offered to lift and level his concrete, eliminating the large drop and tripping hazards found on the property. PolyLevel is a polymer foam that is injected under the concrete, filling in voids, and lifting the slabs back to a level and stable state. After the PolyLevel was injected, all tripping hazards were gone, and the drop found by the garage door had been reduced to less than an inch.  

In the camping grounds, there is a sheltered pavilion on a concrete slab. Over the years, the ground had settled, causing voids underneath the slab. Due to the weight of the pavilion, the slab started cracking and sinking into the voids, leaving for a hazardous area to use. Grounds keeper Mike reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems in hopes that PolyLevel would be able to fix the sunken and cracked slab. PolyLevel was injected under the slab to fill the voids. Once the voids were filled, the PolyLevel expanded to lift the sunken areas, and provide a stable solution for the slab. NexusPro Joint Sealant was then applied to all cracks around the slab to help create a longer lasting slab for the pavilion. 

Uneven sidewalks can pose serious tripping hazards. With a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems, sinking slabs can be fixed, restoring safety. PolyLevel is injected under the slabs, filling the voids that are causing the slabs to sink, and lifting them back to their original position. The quick reaction time of PolyLevel allow for precise and accurate lifts, so no under- or over-lifting occurs. PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken concrete with a lightweight material that will not put extra pressure on the soil under the slabs.

Rick and LuAnn were very upset. They had just built their home within the last 4 years and were already seeing and having issues with their driveway and sidewalk sinking, causing tripping hazards and unsightly views. They reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. They were offered the solution PolyLevel, which is a lightweight material that will significantly reduce the extra unnecessary weight on the weakened soil. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers that fill voids, and expand to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. PolyLevel instantly cures to provide a solid and stable surface for the slab, and when combined with NexusPro Joint Sealant, a flexible polyurethane bond diverts water away from the cracks, preventing washouts. 

Homeowner Brian has lived in his home since it was built in 1999. Ver the last few years, he started to notice that his driveway and sidewalks were failing and sinking. He contacted MidAmerica Basement System wanting to learn more about our PolyLevel technology. He was looking to sell his home and wanted to make sure the value and quality of his home was at its best. The PolyLevel can be used on any concrete slab. The PolyFoam fills the void under the slab and then while it is expanding it lifts the slab back to its previous place.
