Before & After Photos

Repairing sidewalk in Robins, IA with PolyLevel.

PolyLevel injections can help lift sunken concrete slabs, leveling them back to their original state. Small dime-sized holes are drilled into the concrete, poly ports are then placed along the holes. Polymers are injected into the ports, mixing with a reactive resin, to expand and fill the voids. After all voids are filled, PolyLevel lifts the concrete, precisely leveling the slabs. The lightweight material offers less stress on the ground underneath the slabs, preventing future sinking. PolyLevel can help repair all types of sinking concrete: driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks, stoops, porches, concrete steps, interior floor slabs, and additions.

Carl was concerned for his neighbors who take their daily walks around the block because of the uneven sidewalk in front of his home. He thought about having the concrete re-poured but realized it could take weeks on end to tear it up and repour the sidewalk. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to see what kind of solution they had to offer. Cole introduced Carl to PolyLevel. PolyLevel is made of high-density polymers that are injected under the slabs to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction times allows for the slabs to be level once again in minutes, providing the permanent stabilization they need. PolyLevel also has a quick cure time that allows for the sidewalk to be accessed within minutes after application, so Carl’s neighbors can continue their walks without the worry of tripping hazards. 

Homeowners Jim and Kitty have lied in their 1950's home for the last 13 years. Over time they slowly started to notice that the concrete slabs outside of their home were cracking and breaking. The shifting slabs were a trip hazard and an eyesore.  The decision to seek professional advice came when they heard about the PolyLevel foam that we offer. The foam is injected under the concrete slab. The foam then expands and then hardens to lift and level the slab. 

Richard was concerned about his concrete steps to the front porch, for the stairs had sunken, causing the step from the stairs to the porch to become very large. MidAmerica Basement Systems offered their injection technology to lift and level the sunken stairs. PolyLevel was injected into the steps, filling the void and lifting the concrete. PolyLevel uses a lightweight material that doesn’t exert extra pressure to the failing soil, and provides a permanent solution to leveling concrete. After PolyLevel was injected, the 3inch drop was no longer an issue.
