MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Over the years, ground will settle and wash-out from under concrete slabs causing voids. Weight from the concrete slabs themselves will begin to buckle and crack if not treated. MidAmerica Basement Systems has a solution to providing a longer-lasting technique for concrete leveling. PolyLevel is a foam made of high-density polymers that help lift and level concrete slabs back to normal, and reduce safety hazards.

Bobbie had an older home with a brick foundation. Over the years, the home had settled causing cracks in the foundation walls, which lead to a leaky basement. Bobbie quickly made the call to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement inspected for a waterproof system. Upon inspection, it was proposed that CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and TripleSafe systems be installed. CleanSpace was lined along the walls of the foundation to protect the basement from moisture while acting as a tracked guide to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage system that directs water to the sump system, preventing water from pooling on the floor. The TripleSafe Sump collects the water that has seeped into the basement, and is than properly discharged from the home, keeping it dry. Together, all three systems effectively work in keeping the basement dry.

Before Jeff could put his home on the market, he had to address his bowing wall in his basement. He contacted the experts of MidAmerica Basement Systems to have them inspect the failing foundation. It was suggested by design specialist, Mac to have a CarbonArmor system installed. CarbonArmor is a flexible fabric strip that permanent adheres to the basement foundation, permanently stopping any inward bowing. With a stable foundation, Jeff’s home can now be places on the market and not be overlooked by potential buyers.

Curtis was tired of the ugly crack that run up and down his driveway. It had caused the sidewalk to become uneven, and it had sunk around the garage. He had heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems’ new injection technology, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that fills voids and lifts and raises sunk slabs to their original state. After the voids were filled and the concrete was back to level, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to the large crack along the driveway. The once ugly crack and unlevel driveway Curtis had is now level, and a crack that is unnoticeable.

Foundation cracks are common due to the curing process of concrete over the years, but when the cause groundwater to leak in, it is best to have the issue address sooner rather than later. Injecting a FlexiSpan sealant not only waterproofs the foundation crack, but permanently seals the crack. The high-viscosity polyurethane polymer sealant sets deep into the crack, with a durable, flexible strength. This allows for the FlexiSpan to expand and shrink with the cold and warm, frost and thaw cycles that are commonly found in Illinois. Without the flexibility, the cracks would reopen and become larger over time.
