MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Tom and Sonja were noticing some uneven areas on their driveway and sidewalk, making it dangerous for them and their guests to walk. They called MidAmerica Basement Systems to have their concrete lifted and leveled. During their evaluation, they were introduced to the new PolyLevel solution. PolyLevel uses a lightweight foam that stabilizes sunken slabs by filling the voids, adhering to the soil, and lifting the concrete back to its desired state. Because the material adheres to the ground, it provides a longer lasting solution than typical mudjacking. Now Tom and Sonja have a leveled driveway and sidewalk once again.

Kathy lives in a home that was built in the late 1800’s, and over the years, the floors of the home have begun to slowly sag. Finally, she reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her situation handled. Mike looked at her issue and proposed her a SmartJack system. SmartJacks are galvanized steel columns that have a load compacity of more than 60,000 pounds making them ideal for stabilizing a home’s sagging floor. The concrete floor is dug up and filled with tightly-compacted crushed stone to provide the proper weight barring exertion needed for each column. Once the holes are filled, the SmartJacks are installed and cemented down to the floor and connected to the girder system. Each SmartJack is tightened to permanently stabilize the floor, and even potentially lift the floors back to level.

This wall was restored and ready to be finished after installing Basement to Beautiful Panels.

This whole slab of concrete of a Sherrard, IL driveway had become completely uneven. The PolyLevel system changed that right around and made the slab even again by lifting it back up.

Rick was noticing some issues with his driveway sinking, causing the entrance into the garage to be rough. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway mudjacked. Instead of mudjacking, he was offered PolyLevel. PolyLevel uses similar techniques to mudjacking, but with more affective and longer-lasting results. Small 3/8^th inch holes are drilled to inject the high-density polymers. Once injected, voids become filled, and then expand to lift and level the concrete. The once 2-inch drop, is now level again with PolyLevel.
