Before & After Photos

Check out this concrete dilemma we recently tackled in Waterloo, IA! As you can imagine, uneven slabs are trip hazards just waiting to happen. In the "before" photo, you can see exactly where the faulty angle was calling for some serious attention.

To fix it, System Design Specialist Shawn Conaway inspected the damage and mapped out the perfect repair plan. Then, Foreman Ricky Sigala and his trusty crew stepped in to bring that plan to life. They deployed our favorite power duo: PolyLevel and NexusPro. These aren't just fancy product names—they are absolute lifesavers when it comes to lifting uneven concrete, eliminating trip hazards, and providing a rock-solid, stable foundation.

The "after" photo shows off the smooth, safe results, ensuring your morning sprints and evening strolls remain completely uninterrupted.

Nada was having issues with the stairs leading into her home, they had sunken and sloped, making it unlevel to enter. She had heard of the new injection technology from MidAmerica Basement System called PolyLevel. PolyLevel is similar to mud jacking, but offers many more advantages. The lightweight polyurethane material effortlessly lifts and levels concrete, using small injection holes. The quick dry time allow for a precise lift, leveling the stairs in minutes. Nada now has a level and stable stoop into her home.

Large cracks and gaps between concrete slabs allows for water to seep in between, causing the ground underneath to wash-out. Wash-outs than can lead to sinking and even more cracked concrete, leaving tripping hazards. Using a NexusPro Joint Sealant, cracks and gaps are permanently sealed, preventing water from seeping down the cracks. NexusPro Joint Sealant helps protect concrete, providing a longer lifespan for concrete and a safer area for walking.

Rose reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems after the driveway to the Senior Living home where she worked was having driveway and sidewalk issues. The driveway and sidewalks to the building were sinking and cracking and were becoming very dangerous to the residence and to the visitors. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under your concrete slabs, it fills the void.
