Before & After
In Bradford, Illinois, a homeowner faced a dangerous hazard from uneven, sinking concrete around their property. Unsealed joints had allowed surface water to wash away the soil beneath the slabs, creating empty voids and causing the heavy concrete to settle unevenly.
To resolve the hazard without tearing up the concrete, System Design Specialist Rob Chismark developed a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized holes into the sunken slabs and injected high-density PolyLevel foam. As the foam expanded, it filled the empty voids underneath, compacted the loose soil, and lifted the concrete back to its original, level position.
Once the slabs were aligned, Justin and Devin S. applied NexusPro Joint Sealant across all open seams and cracks. This durable, waterproof seal prevents future rainwater from washing away the subgrade soil. The crew then patched the small injection holes, leaving behind a smooth, safe, and fresh-looking concrete surface that protects the homeowner and their guests.
