Before & After Photos

The driveway of a homeowner in Davenport, IA had settled and cracked, becoming an eyesore that risked further damage down the line. As you can see in the before photo, the cracks and uneven surface were significant concerns. To solve this, our experienced team at MidAmerica Basement Systems applied the PolyLevel system to expertly lift and stabilize the slabs. Followed by NexusPro Joint Sealant, we sealed the cracks and joints to guard against future wear and tear. In the after photo, the driveway looks smooth, stable, and ready to withstand the test of time. 

Before we arrived, these Davenport homeowners were dealing with some serious elevation changes in their backyard. Their concrete slabs had settled so much that they practically needed a compass and a safety harness just to get to the patio chair! Nobody should have to program GPS coordinates just to navigate their own property without tripping.

Our specialist, Shawn Conaway, stepped in first to assess the damage and design a foolproof plan to stabilize the ground. Once the strategy was set, our foreman, Ricky Sigala, and his crew took over the heavy lifting.

PolyLevel Injection: Ricky utilized our trusty PolyLevel system to precisely lift those sunken blocks back to their original height.

NexusPro Finish: To ensure everything stays put, the team performed some "concrete acrobatics" by applying our top-tier NexusPro joint sealant.

The slabs are now secure, smooth, and ready to weather any Iowa season with an unwavering hold. Thanks to Shawn’s plan and Ricky’s precision, this backyard is officially a GPS-free zone once again!

A homeowner in Davenport, IA, reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to protect their property's long-term structural value. As clearly shown in the before photo, their concrete slabs were actively settling and shifting, creating an uneven surface that threatened to cause further damage to the surrounding property if left unaddressed.

To provide a permanent fix, our salesperson, Michael Chezum, inspected the site and mapped out a precise restoration plan. Our skilled production team, led by foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S., then stepped in to execute the repair with total precision.

The team drilled small, pea-sized holes in strategic locations across the settled concrete to allow for a clean, non-invasive installation. Through these access points, they injected our advanced PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam directly beneath the heavy slabs. The high-strength foam expanded rapidly to fill the underground voids, safely stabilizing, lifting, and leveling the concrete back to its original position.

To finalize the transformation and fortify the driveway against future damage, Justin and Devin applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to all cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out moisture, preventing water infiltration from undermining the soil again. As you can see in the after photo, the concrete is perfectly restored and fully protected.

This whole slab of concrete of a Sherrard, IL driveway had become completely uneven. The PolyLevel system changed that right around and made the slab even again by lifting it back up.

Rick was noticing some issues with his driveway sinking, causing the entrance into the garage to be rough. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway mudjacked. Instead of mudjacking, he was offered PolyLevel. PolyLevel uses similar techniques to mudjacking, but with more affective and longer-lasting results. Small 3/8^th inch holes are drilled to inject the high-density polymers. Once injected, voids become filled, and then expand to lift and level the concrete. The once 2-inch drop, is now level again with PolyLevel.
