Before & After Photos

Repairing the driveway and sidewalk in Geneseo, IL. 

Faced with uneven concrete and a significant 8-inch settlement in their outdoor stairs, as evident in our before photo, this homeowner in Geneseo, IL, turned to us for help. Our solution? The innovative PolyLevel system. Notice in the after photo how dramatically we’ve transformed their stairs, restoring both safety and aesthetics. Providing not just a remarkable fix, but also ensuring this solution stands the test of time, that's how we bring remarkable customer experiences to life.

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.
