Concrete Services Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, faced a tilted front sidewalk that was actively directing surface water runoff straight beneath their porch deck, putting both the porch structure and home foundation at risk of severe water damage. Left unchecked, the pooling water threatened to wash away the supporting subgrade soil and compromise the long-term structural integrity of the home.

To eliminate the hazard without invasive concrete demolition, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet evaluated the site and designed a targeted repair strategy using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling through MidAmerica Basement Systems.

Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration with precision. The team strategically drilled pea-sized injection ports through the tilted sidewalk slabs and injected high-strength PolyLevel polyurethane foam into the underlying subbase. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled subterranean voids, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the sunken concrete back to a stable, level plane, properly redirecting water flow away from the porch and foundation. The crew patched the injection holes, leaving behind a safe, fully stabilized sidewalk engineered to protect the property for years to come.

Then, with the installation of NexusPro Joint Sealant, we sealed the cracks to ward off future water damage. In the after photo, see how the concrete is now level and secure, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
