Concrete Services Before & After Photos

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. It's solutions like these that we've been perfecting through 35 years of experience. 

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 grew concerned about how their severely uneven concrete slabs would impact their home's resale value and future inspection reports. To address these stark safety and structural concerns before they escalated, System Design Specialist Daniel Kelchen evaluated the site and designed a rapid stabilization strategy. Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration using advanced soil-stabilization and leveling techniques.

The team began by injecting high-density PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the sunken slabs. This lightweight, commercial-grade polymer expanded rapidly to fill underground voids, consolidate the loose subgrade, and lift the heavy concrete plates back to a perfectly flush position.

To safeguard the repair and extend the lifespan of the driveway, Justin and Devin sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro® Joint Sealant, preventing future water infiltration and soil erosion. Thanks to the meticulous workmanship of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the property was left with a safe, level surface, protecting both the homeowner's peace of mind and their financial investment.
