Before & After Photos

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. 

In Lena, IL, homeowners noticed that their sunken concrete was becoming an eyesore and risk if left unattended. As you can see in the before photo, the uneven slabs were beginning to crack. To address this, we used our PolyLevel system, which precisely lifted and leveled the slabs, stabilizing their surface. Next, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water from causing future shifting. The after photo showcases the restored concrete's sturdy, level surface, ensuring it stays in excellent condition thanks to a precise solution from MidAmerica Basement Systems. 

Morton, IL homeowners contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems because their front walkway was several inches below the easement. Fred Romane came out and took a look, evaluating the needs of the Morton residence.

Before PolyLevel and Concrete Protection System were installed by foreman Levi Freund, the walkway left a lot to be desired. Now, the Morton homeowners come home to a beautiful and functional walkway - that will stay that way for quite a long time. 

In Washington, IL, settled concrete slabs were causing a potentially costly problem as water began seeping directly toward a home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the initial unevenness created a dangerous slope that funneled rainwater straight toward the structure instead of away from it.

MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a precise strategy to eliminate the risk of water damage and restore the concrete to its optimal condition. Our team first addressed the uneven slope by utilizing PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam. By injecting this high-strength foam beneath the sunken concrete, we gently lifted and permanently stabilized the slabs, successfully restoring a proper pitch that directs water safely away from the home.

To ensure long-term protection, our crew then applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out future moisture, preventing water from washing away the soil below and stopping the sinking cycle in its tracks. As shown in the after photo, the property now boasts a smooth, safe, and fully protected surface.
