Dustin was noticing stair-step cracking in his block foundation and grew concern. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issue looked at to find out what solution would best fit his home. It was noted that the walls had begun to bow, causing the cracking. A GeoLock Wall Anchor system was offered to stabilize the walls, preventing them from worsening over time. GeoLock Anchors are placed outside the home’s foundation, locking into the soil to produce the appropriate hold needed for the failing walls. Galvanized steel walls are than attached to the foundation walls to lock the system into place. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system allows for the walls to be tightened over time, increasing the chances of straightening the walls to their original state.
In Polo, IL, Susan Z. needed a sump pump and a dehumidifier to keep moisture out of her basement. She called the experts at Midamerica Basement Systems for a free estimate. She now has the a SaniDry dehumidifier and a SuperSump sump pump, helping Susan rid her space of moisture!
In Polo, Illinois, uneven concrete slabs transformed a charming home courtyard into a dangerous tripping hazard. Unsealed joints had allowed rainwater to penetrate the subbase over time, washing away the underlying soil and causing the heavy concrete to sink unevenly.
To resolve the hazard without tearing up the flatwork, System Design Specialist Andrew Sagar evaluated the space and customized a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen arrived on-site to execute the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized injection ports through the sunken slabs and pumped high-density PolyLevel foam into the underlying subgrade. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled empty void spaces, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the heavy concrete slabs precisely back to a level, stable plane.
Once alignment was restored, Ricky and Jaylen sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro Joint Sealant. This durable, UV-resistant sealant prevents future rainwater from washing away the supporting soil beneath the courtyard. After patching the small injection ports, the crew left behind a smooth, safe, and beautifully restored space ready for foot traffic.
