Sidewalk Leveled in Rock Island, IL

In Rock Island, IL, our team took on a concrete challenge that you can see in the before photo. Uneven and sunken slabs were affecting the home's curb appeal. Using our family-based experience, we fixed this by stabilizing and lifting the concrete with PolyLevel. We also sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro, making most traditional methods seem outdated. Everyone who approaches the house can now admire a clean, leveled walkway as pictured in the after photo. 

Basement Waterproofed in Rock Island, IL

This Clinton, IA homeowner was ready to remodel their entire basement, but knew they needed some essential waterproofing first. While the basement was previously finished there were a few areas that took on water, so they wanted a comprehensive waterproofing system installed before they continued on the remodel. We installed our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system along with a TripleSafe sump pump to shield the space. The durable design effectively channels water away from the basement walls to keep things dry and ready for a makeover. See the after photo for the results, our waterproofing leaves the room clean, dry, and perfectly setup for future projects.

Wall Support and Concrete Repair in Rock Island, IL

In the "before" photo, you can see the challenge our Cedar Rapids, IA, homeowner was facing: a foundation wall threatening to come inside for a chat—uninvited!

 

But no worries, Chris Hebbel was on the case to design the perfect solution, and Justin Maddox and his crew stepped in to make it a reality. Notice in the "after" shot how we tackled the issue with our trusty trio: PolyLevel®, NexusPro®, and our efficient PowerBrace™ system.

  • PolyLevel® lifted and secured those concrete slabs.
  • NexusPro® sealed the unwanted gaps for good.
  • PowerBrace™ provided the solid, lasting support needed to stabilize the structure.

At MidAmerica Basement Systems, keeping your home safe and sound is simply what we do. Thanks to Chris and Justin, that wall is staying put!

Concrete Repair in Rock Island, IL

This homeowner in Rock Island, Illinois, was dealing with a walkway that felt less like a path and more like an accidental obstacle course. As you can see in the "before" photo, those uneven slabs created some serious tripping hazards that made every trip to the mailbox a bit of a gamble.

 

To fix it, we brought in two of our heavy hitters:

  • PolyLevel®: We used this high-density foam to lift the sunken slabs back to their original height with precision.
  • NexusPro®: We finished the job by sealing the joints with this durable sealant, which acts like "armor" to protect the concrete from future erosion and weather damage.

The "after" shot says it all. No more "terrifying depths" or awkward stumbles—just a smooth, safe, and clean-looking walkway that’s ready for years of easy treading.

Transforming Basements into Bright Havens in Rock Island, IL

In the left photo, a cozy space for sewing and hosting felt like a distant dream due to a lack of light and safety. Fast forward to the after photo, where a Rockwell Egress Window changed everything!

 

Thanks to a thorough layout by System Design Specialist Andrew Sagar, and the expert execution of Ian and David, even basements can be transformed into welcoming havens.
