Shielding a Washington, IL Home from Foundation Water Damage

In Washington, IL, settled concrete slabs were causing a potentially costly problem as water began seeping directly toward a home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the initial unevenness created a dangerous slope that funneled rainwater straight toward the structure instead of away from it.

MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a precise strategy to eliminate the risk of water damage and restore the concrete to its optimal condition. Our team first addressed the uneven slope by utilizing PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam. By injecting this high-strength foam beneath the sunken concrete, we gently lifted and permanently stabilized the slabs, successfully restoring a proper pitch that directs water safely away from the home.

To ensure long-term protection, our crew then applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out future moisture, preventing water from washing away the soil below and stopping the sinking cycle in its tracks. As shown in the after photo, the property now boasts a smooth, safe, and fully protected surface.
