Our System Design Specialist, Chris Hebbel, inspected the site and designed a custom stabilization plan using PolyLevel®—a high-strength polyurethane foam injected under the concrete to lift and level it permanently. Project Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Tanner took over the production, seamlessly executing the injection process. They lifted the sunken slabs back to their original position and cleared away those pesky trip hazards for good.
Fast forward to the finished job: the walkway is perfectly level, steady, and beautiful. Navigating the front door no longer requires the awkward hyper-vigilance of walking around in your socks. Thanks to Chris, Justin, and Tanner, the home's front entrance is officially safe, stable, and welcome-mat approved!
Notice in the photo the uneven concrete surface that created a hazardous trip point for this Walcott, Iowa homeowner. With aging concrete and property safety top of mind, our team stepped in to provide a permanent, engineered fix.
System Design Specialist Ryan Nolen first evaluated the property to pinpoint the cause of the settlement and mapped out a precise restoration plan. From there, our expert production crew, led by Foreman Chris Allen and featuring crew member Markell, took over execution.
First, the team utilized our PolyLevel® system to lift and level the sunken concrete slabs efficiently, stabilizing the subgrade underneath and completely eliminating the trip hazard. Once the slabs were perfectly flush, Chris and Markell applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the joints to ensure the surface remains completely water-resistant and resilient against future shifting or cracking.

A homeowner in Walcott, IA aimed to boost their home's curb appeal before putting it on the market. As shown in the before photo, the sidewalk had settled towards the home, causing water to pool near the foundation during the rainy season, making this more than a cosmetic issue. Our expert team stepped in with our PolyLevel System and precisely lifted and leveled the concrete slabs, they then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal gaps and protect against water damage. Notice the after photo highlighting a leveled sidewalk. This demonstrates how experience-driven solutions restore beauty and value effectively.
First impressions start at the front door, but for a homeowner in Lost Nation, IA, a sinking front step was making for a shaky welcome. A shifting entrance isn't just an eyesore; it’s a safety hazard that can make anyone feel a bit uneasy.
We stepped in to smooth things over with a two-part solution:
PolyLevel Protection: Our team injected high-density polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize the unbalanced slab, returning it to its original height.
Compression Guard: We installed this specialized joint filler to allow for natural expansion and contraction, preventing future cracks and keeping the finish looking flawless.
The result? A rock-solid, level entrance that provides total peace of mind. Now, coming home feels like a grand entrance every time.
In Epworth, IA, a homeowner faced an uneven and unsightly concrete parking area that limited usability and lowered the property's curb appeal. Water pooling and soil settlement had caused the heavy concrete slabs to sink, creating dangerous tripping hazards and an unstable surface. System Design Specialist Shawn Conaway inspected the site and designed a complete stabilization plan. To execute the restoration, Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen stepped in to bring the parking area back to a flush, stable finish.
The team began by drilling small, non-destructive injection ports into the settled slabs. Ricky and Jaylen then injected the advanced PolyLevel® polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the liquid foam expanded, it filled the underground voids, consolidated the loose soil, and gently lifted the heavy slabs back to an even plane. To protect the newly leveled parking area from future erosion, the crew sealed all open cracks and joints with NexusPro® Joint Sealant, which keeps water from seeping back under the concrete. Thanks to the expert work of MidAmerica Basement Systems, the homeowner now has a durable, seamless, and safe parking area that instantly enhances their property's value.
