Before & After Photos

Over time, Kristy’s driveway began to sink and settle, not worrying her and her husband, at first. Water began seeping into their basement due to water collecting in the sunken areas near the home. So, before it could get any worse, they contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. Bryan, inspected their situation, noticing that there were “obstacles” near the home’s foundation like a window well, gas line, and concrete stairs. He informed Kristy that they were not an issue for the injection technology, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that uses small 3/8^th inch injection holes. The high-density polymers are injected under the concrete to fill the voids, then expand to lift and level the slabs without placing damage to the gas line or window well. With the concrete leveled once again, water no longer pool against the foundation.

Nick has lived at his home for 25yrs now and his driveway has slab joints have been eroding from water and weather. He reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems for help. He wanted to stop the problem from getting worse. He was recommended NexusPro Crack Sealant System. NexusPro is a specially engineered, long-lasting sealant. Because NexusPro is Silicone Based which remains pliable throughout its life, it can be installed in nearly any temperature and can last up to 20 years.

Kristy was looking to repair her driveway, but when the contracted inspected her situation, he suggested that having it lifted would be more cost effective for her situation. Due to the basement window, concrete steps, and gas line, re-pouring new concrete would be more difficult then using injection technology by MidAmerica Basement Systems. PolyLevel is an effective modern solution to mudjacking. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers that are lightweight and won’t cause damage to the basement window or gas line. Small 3/8 inch holes are drilled into the concrete and PolyLevel is injected to fill the voids and expand to lift and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro Joint Sealant was then applied to all the cracks to provide a bond to prevent the cracks from worsening, and to help divert water from seeping in through the cracks. 

Faced with uneven concrete in their garage, a homeowner in Dubuque, IA, knew it needed fixing before putting their property up for rent. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the concrete settlement was clearly an issue. Enter MidAmerica Basement Systems: we transformed the space using our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions – elevating and sealing the concrete to perfection. The 'after' photo speaks volumes; the garage is now safe and visually appealing, ready to impress future tenants.

Jennifer was very upset that her sidewalk had sunken 2 inches from her porch when her home was recently new. She searched for solutions to her problem and found MidAmerica Basement Systems’ PolyLevel solution. During her inspection, Mac had diagnosed how the issue had become apparent so quickly. A downspout was placed right next to the sidewalk, and was causing washouts, leaving large voids for the concrete to sink in. PolyLevel was injected under the concrete to fill the void, made of a waterproof material, and lift the slab back to its original position. PolyLevel helped close the 2-inch gap between the sidewalk and porch, leaving it looking the same as it did when it was first poured. It was also suggested that installing a new downspout line away from the concrete to prevent future washouts elsewhere.
