Before & After Photos

Over time, the ground under a concrete patio will shift and settle, creating voids and leaving the concrete to shift and sink. Dennis was having just this issue, leaving his patio unusable for him and his guests. Some areas had shifted so bad that large gaps had become an issue. Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems, offered the solution of PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is a special polymer material that fills voids, and lifts and stabilizes the sunken slabs. NexusPro Joint Sealant provides a seal to reduce the appearance of the gaps, and most importantly, seals the ground from seeping water. Stopping water seepage prevents the ground from washing out, leaving the concrete level longer. Dennis and his guests can once again use his patio without worries.

Homeowner Sandy has lived in her home for the last 12 years. In the last two years, she has slowly noticed that her driveway and sidewalk started to sink and crack. She knew that this was a safety hazard and wanted to seek professional advice on how to advance on correcting the situation. She decided to contact MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn about the PolyLevel technology that is offered. PolyLevel is a foam that is pumped under the concrete slabs to help bring them back up. The PolyLvell fills the void under the slab that is causing the slab.

Chris’ sidewalk leading to his front door was posing a large tripping threat to him and his guests. The sidewalk had sunken 3-inches from the concrete stairs. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his concrete lifted and leveled. PolyLevel was injected into the sidewalk, filling the massive void that had initially caused the slab to sink. Once the void is filled, the PolyLevel expands, lifting the concrete back to its original position. Chris no longer has a 3-inch drop between his sidewalk and concrete stairs.

Large settlement cracks had become an issue for Wynn’s driveway, stretching from one side to the other. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue addressed. PolyLevel was injected under the slabs to lift and level them back to their original position, stabilizing the area and filling the voids. After PolyLevel, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to all areas of the cracks. NexusPro helps prevent future cracking and seals off the area from seeping water. When water enters the area, it allows for ground washouts and settlement, which cause the slabs to sink and cracks. NexusPro also has a strong, flexible bond that allows for movement between the cold and hot seasons.

Scott was concerned about his unlevel driveway. Some areas had sunk leaving tripping hazards, making it unsafe for his children to play basketball in the driveway. He needed to level the area and when he saw his neighbors installing PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems, he quickly contacted them. Cole evaluated the driveway and talked about the advantages of PolyLevel. The high-density polymers quickly react to fill voids and lift the concrete with accurate results. The quick reactions prevent under- and over-lifting of the slabs, and allowing for the injected area to be accessed within minutes of application. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied to all the cracks to seal them from future rainfall. Diverting the water away from the ground under the concrete, helps creates a longer-lasting level and stable driveway.
