Before & After Photos

Over time the ground underneath concrete begins to settle, causing voids between the ground and concrete. This can than cause the concrete to sink into the void, leaving large spaces between concrete slabs. Mudjacking is a temporary solution, and over time, it causes the same issue. Injecting PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken slabs. The lightweight material offers less weight to the failing soil, preventing future soil settlements. PolyLevel uses an accurate injection that fills the voids, and then lifts, levels, and stabilizes the concrete.

Homeowner Jim contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when he learned that they offered concrete lifting and leveling. The PolyLevel that we offer is a foam that is injected under the concrete slab the foam fills the void under the slab that was the cause of the sinking. The foam expands and hardens to lift the concrete back to its former position. 

Joe was having doubts about replacing his sinking stair stoop. He knew that the process would take him weeks, and didn’t even want to begin thinking about the cost of repouring them. A friend of his suggested contacting MidAmerica Basement Systems to have the stoop lifted and leveled. Design specialist, Cole, offered Joe the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel uses a lightweight material that has a lifting strength of 4,000 pounds per square foot. PolyLevel has a quick cure time that allowed the project to be completed in as little as a day, making the stoop accessible within minutes after injections. The PolyLevel solution allowed Joe to fix his issue in a fraction of the time without breaking the bank.

Homeowner Ed contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems when he learned that they offer a concrete lifting and leveling services. He was having issues with his driveway. The driveway was cracked in many places and was also sinking. Having an uneven driveway or sidewalk can be a huge problem. If and when it rains the water can pool and can damage your home. The PolyFoam is injected under the concrete slab to fill the void that has been created that is causing the sinking. The foam beings to rise and expand filling the void and setting the slab back to its former setting.

Homeowner Charles and Elaine have lived in their home since it was built in 1976. For several years they have noticed that the concrete around their pool has been cracking and sinking and has been getting progressively worse every year. 

Small ports are inserted into the concrete slabs where the foam will be pumped under the concrete. The foam is injected under the slab and fills the void under the slab that is causing the sinking and cracking. The foam expands into the void and hardens, causing the concrete slab to lift and level.
