Before & After

In good old Bettendorf, IA, we’ve got a tale of two concretes—meet the "before" photo, complete with sunken slabs busy doing the wave! The owner gave us a shout before things took a serious nosedive.
Our System Design Specialist, Chris Hebbel, arrived on-site to inspect the uneven concrete and design a permanent stabilization and leveling plan.
As you can see, our powerhouse production crew, led by Foreman Ricky and Jaylen, got right to work with our trusty duo: PolyLevel® and NexusPro®. Ricky and Jaylen injected our high-density PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling Solutions beneath the surface, neatly tucking those lonely slabs right back into place. Next, they expertly applied NexusPro® Cracked Concrete Repair to the joints, saying “no thanks” to pesky water intrusions in style.
Thanks to Chris's smart design and the crew's expert execution, the driveway went from offbeat seaside vibes to completely smooth and steady—all in a day’s work!
Notice the uneven and cracked sidewalk in the 'before' photo, illustrating the severe settlement challenge faced by our Bettendorf, IA homeowner. Such misaligned surfaces not only diminish curb appeal but pose immediate trip hazards for foot traffic. To fix this, Foreman Justin Maddox Jr. and his crew member Brantly employed our precise concrete repair system, using our specialized PolyLevel® system and NexusPro® joint sealant to revitalize the entire walkway. By injecting high-density PolyLevel® geopolymer foam through discrete ports beneath the slab, the team filled underlying soil voids and successfully lifted the concrete back to a stable, flush alignment. The crew then mechanically sealed all joints and cracks with flexible NexusPro®, guaranteeing a smooth, weather-resistant finish in the 'after' photo. At MidAmerica Basement Systems, we deliver long-lasting solutions that reflect our drive for technical excellence and lasting customer satisfaction.
Notice in the before photo, uneven and sinking concrete created trip hazards where shovel edges continuously catch, threatening further structural cracking if left unaddressed. Concerned about worsening conditions, safety hazards, and rising water damage risks, the homeowner called for a permanent fix. Following an initial site evaluation by System Design Specialist Rob Chismark, Foreman Ricky and crew member Markell arrived on site to deliver a targeted, long-term solution.
Our team restored safety and alignment to the property using advanced geopolymer injection and elastomeric sealing systems. The crew injected high-density PolyLevel® geopolymer foam beneath the sunken slabs to fill subterranean voids, compact loose subgrade soil, and lift the concrete back to a flush elevation. To stop future soil erosion, the team sealed all joints and cracks with NexusPro® joint sealant, forming a durable barrier against moisture infiltration, harsh UV rays, and Midwest freeze-thaw cycles. As shown in the after photo, the concrete is now perfectly smooth, permanently stabilized, and safe for everyday use.
Jonathan was having issues with water coming in through his basement and quickly called MidAmerica Basement Systems. He was offered a waterproofing system to keep water from surfacing, but because the wall and floors were pour as one whole foundation, a special tactic was done. Weep holes were drilled into the walls foundation to allow water to enter, and a CleanSpace strip was installed over top of the holes. Adding CleanSpace helps direct the water to a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a drainage track that collects water and redirects it to a sump pump. Jonathan no longer has water in his basement thanks to MidAmerica Basement Systems.
The homeowners are repeat customers of MidAmerica and so when they wanted new windows in their basement, they knew exactly who to call! The team installed new Egress with StakWEL and now the homeowners have a warmer, brighter basement.
