Concrete Repair in South Pekin, IL
Challenge
A homeowner in South Pekin, IL, was facing a growing problem right outside their front door. Over time, the soil beneath their concrete driveway had shifted and settled, leaving behind a series of uneven slabs.
This wasn't just a blow to the home’s curb appeal; it had become a genuine safety hazard. The "trip zones" made walking to the car a constant worry, and during Illinois winters, the uneven surfaces turned shoveling snow into a back-breaking chore as the shovel caught on every jagged edge. Tired of the "concrete drama," the family reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for a permanent solution.
Solution
Instead of ripping out the old concrete, we used the PolyLevel® System.
The Process: We drilled small, pea-sized holes into the sunken slabs.
The Action: A high-density polyurethane foam was injected beneath the concrete.
The Result: The foam expanded instantly, providing a firm, waterproof base that lifted the slabs back into perfect alignment with "picture-frame" precision.
Long-Term Protection with NexusPro®
To ensure the soil wouldn't wash away again, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant.
The Process: This premium-grade sealant was used to fill the joints and cracks.
The Action: It creates a durable, UV-resistant barrier that prevents water from seeping under the concrete.
The Result: By stopping the freeze-thaw cycle from undermining the driveway, we ensured the lift would last for years to come.
