Concrete Defeat to Level Precision Sinking Eldridge Slabs Lifted in Hours

Notice in the before photo, the uneven, sunken concrete at this Eldridge, IA home presented an immediate safety hazard and a rising risk of structural deterioration. Concerned about worsening conditions and potential water damage, the homeowner turned to MidAmerica Basement Systems for a permanent solution. Following an initial assessment by System Design Specialist Rob Chismark to diagnose the subgrade settlement, Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Jaylen arrived on site to deliver an expert fix.

Our team restored stability to the property by applying high-density PolyLevel® geopolymer foam to fill subterranean voids, compact the underlying soil, and lift the affected slabs back to a flush alignment. The crew then applied NexusPro® joint sealant across all joints and cracks to lock out surface water, protecting the concrete against harsh UV rays and intense Midwest freeze-thaw cycles. As shown in the after photo, the concrete is now perfectly even, securely sealed, and aesthetically enhanced, demonstrating the true value of expert intervention.
