Concrete Services Before & After Photos

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner faced uneven steps leading to trip hazards and worries about the grandkids possibly falling into the gap. In the before photo, you can clearly see the misalignment. We resolved this issue by using our Specialized PolyLevel System, which cleany lifted and stabilized the concrete steps. In the after shot, it;s evident how even and secure the steps now look. Additionally, we utilized NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the gaps, ensuring against further soil erosion from underneath. Thanks to these advanced techniques, the steps are sturdy and safe once more. 

This Cedar Rapids homeowner was preparing to retire but wanted to fix some things around the house prior. As you can see in the before photo, the back patio had a big crack running right through the middle of it. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems handled the repair by using our effective PolyLevel system. By injecting high-strength polyurethane foam, we stabilized and leveled the slab. To prevent further issues we sealed the large middle crack along with all other cracks and joints using NexusPro Joint Sealant. In the after photo, the result is a smooth, secure patio, reinforcing our commitment to providing remarkable customer experiences. 

Notice in the before photo how the concrete steps in Cedar Rapids, IA had settled and begun to pull away from the home. This shifting is not just an eyesore, it raises safety concerns for homeowners. We stepped in with our PolyLevel system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam under the slab for precise leveling. Now, you'll see impressive alignment as the concrete sits snugly against the home again. To secure and enhance durability, NexusPro was used to seal the joints, guarding against water damage.

Tired of watching your guests play hopscotch on your sidewalk? A Cedar Rapids homeowner recently traded their "obstacle course" for a perfectly level entrance. Using PolyLevel to lift sunken slabs and NexusPro to seal those stubborn cracks, we restored both the look and safety of their walkway. No more tripping hazards—just a smooth, reliable path that’s built to last.

In Cedar Rapids, IA, a homeowner faced daily frustration and vehicle damage from a car bottoming out on their driveway—a direct result of uneven, settled concrete panels. Open gaps and unsealed control joints allowed rainwater to wash away the underlying subgrade soil, creating subterranean voids that caused the heavy slabs to sink and tilt.

System Design Specialist Chris Hebbel evaluated the driveway, diagnosing active soil erosion as the root cause of the differential settlement. Chris developed a targeted, non-invasive lifting and sealing strategy, which was executed on site by Foreman Justin Maddox Jr. and crew member Brantly.

The team first used the PolyLevel® geopolymer injection system, drilling discrete ports to inject expanding polyurethane foam directly into the voids beneath the sunken panels. The foam expanded rapidly, compacting the loose subgrade and lifting the concrete slabs back to a flush, level elevation. To prevent future soil washout, Justin and Brantly prepped and sealed all open cracks and joints using NexusPro® joint sealant, establishing a durable, flexible barrier against water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles.
