Before & After Photos

Room additions are great when you are looking to increase your home’s square footage, but down the road, issues can arise. Over the years, the ground under the addition starts to settle and shift, causing the addition to sink and slope from the rest of the home. MidAmerica Basement Systems offer a solution to your sinking addition. PolyLevel is a simple, effective lifting solution that fills the voids under your concrete slab to lift and level the addition back to its original position. The PolyLevel system uses small injection holes, roughly the size of a dime, that go unnoticed once job is complete. PolyLevel is the only “right” solution to lift and level concrete of all types.

Roberta was ready to put her home on the market, when her realtor insisted on fixing the cracked and unlevel walkway to the front door. While looking around at her options, Roberta came across the PolyLevel system offered by MidAmerica Basement Systems. Similar, but more effective than mudjacking, PolyLevel is injected under the concrete to lift and raise sunken concrete, allowing for cracks to realign. PolyLevel’s light weight foam precisely fills and lifts concrete, while providing a more permanent solution than typical mudjacking. After the job was complete, Roberta had a walkway that looked brand new, giving her curb appeal a much nicer look, and ready for the market.

In Le Claire, this homeowner noticed their concrete slab was uneven and worsening. They didn't want to wait for the problem to escalate, and that's where we stepped in. In the before photo, notice how the slab had shifted overtime making it both an eyesore and a tripping hazard. We utilized our PolyLevel System to stabilize, lift, and level the concrete by injecting high strength foam through small holes. For a long-lasting finish, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to guard against water infiltration. This effective solution not only restored the appearance but also extended the life of the concrete. 

Ben was very upset with the large sinking concrete in portions of his driveway. Overtime sections of the driveway had sunk due to the voids under the concrete. Some areas had dropped about 2 to 3 inches, leaving the driveway unlevel and unsafe. MidAmerica Basement Systems offered the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel is injected under the concrete to fill to voids, once the voids are filled, it expands to lift and stabilize the slabs. The slabs that were 2-3 inches lower, now run flush with the other areas of the driveway, making the driveway level and safe once again.

A homeowner in Goose Lake, IA had an uneven, unleveled, cracked concrete sidewalk leading up to the side door of their home. The sidewalk sloped to one side making it an uneven surface when you came in and out of the door making it a hazard for the homeowner. As time went on the sidewalk was not getting any better. The homeowner knew it was time to contact the experts in the industry that would be able to lift and level the concrete, MidAmerica Basement Systems. A Design Specialist was able to come out and give the homeowner the best recommendation that would meet the needs and goals of their home. The Design Specialist recommended having NexusPro and Polylevel installed within their home.

Installer, Brandon came out to the homeowners home to install NexusPro and PolyLevel. NexusPro is a long-lasting silicone based sealant. It can be applied in extreme temperatures and is resistant to ultraviolet sun rays. It is fifty percent more flexible and can stretch up to twice its size as the concrete moves. It is applied in the cracks of the sidewalk or driveway. PolyLevel has the same idea as mud-jacking but does not break up the concrete or involve any mud. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that is injected through a dime size hole in the concrete that lifts the concrete in a controlled way and then the hole is sealed off. Leaving the sidewalk looking great!
