Shielding a Washington, IL Home from Foundation Water Damage

In Washington, IL, settled concrete slabs were causing a potentially costly problem as water began seeping directly toward a home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the initial unevenness created a dangerous slope that funneled rainwater straight toward the structure instead of away from it.

 

MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a precise strategy to eliminate the risk of water damage and restore the concrete to its optimal condition. Our team first addressed the uneven slope by utilizing PolyLevel® Polyurethane Foam. By injecting this high-strength foam beneath the sunken concrete, we gently lifted and permanently stabilized the slabs, successfully restoring a proper pitch that directs water safely away from the home.

 

To ensure long-term protection, our crew then applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant across the cracks and joints. This durable barrier seals out future moisture, preventing water from washing away the soil below and stopping the sinking cycle in its tracks. As shown in the after photo, the property now boasts a smooth, safe, and fully protected surface.

Precision PolyLevel® Lifting in Polo, IL

In Polo, Illinois, uneven concrete slabs transformed a charming home courtyard into a dangerous tripping hazard. Unsealed joints had allowed rainwater to penetrate the subbase over time, washing away the underlying soil and causing the heavy concrete to sink unevenly.

 

To resolve the hazard without tearing up the flatwork, System Design Specialist Andrew Sagar evaluated the space and customized a targeted repair plan using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.

 

Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen arrived on-site to execute the restoration. The team drilled dime-sized injection ports through the sunken slabs and pumped high-density PolyLevel foam into the underlying subgrade. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled empty void spaces, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the heavy concrete slabs precisely back to a level, stable plane.

 

Once alignment was restored, Ricky and Jaylen sealed all joints and cracks using NexusPro Joint Sealant. This durable, UV-resistant sealant prevents future rainwater from washing away the supporting soil beneath the courtyard. After patching the small injection ports, the crew left behind a smooth, safe, and beautifully restored space ready for foot traffic.
