MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Over time, the ground and soil under concrete begins to shift and settle, leaving large voids. When voids are present, the concrete sinks and cracks due to lack of support. When this happens around concrete pool decks, it possesses safety hazards for those who access the pool. Injecting PolyLevel is the best solution to reduce the tripping hazards without damaging the pool itself. The lightweight material is less than 4lbs per cubic foot, reducing the stress that normal mudjacking (120lbs/cf) would place on the pool and existing soil. After the voids are filled, the concrete lifts and levels, reducing the tripping hazards, and becomes stable once again.

Over time the ground under concrete can settle causing voids between the ground and concrete. The slabs begin to sink and in serious cases, the concrete will crack under pressure. Applying a sealant will only temporarily fix the issue, until the natural movement of the ground caused the sealant to crack, causing the concrete to sink and crack even more. Injecting PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems not only fills the voids that are under the slabs, but lifts and stabilizes the sunken, cracked concrete. Applying NexusPro Joint Sealant to the cracks helps protect the ground from washing out under the concrete, and provides a bond that is flexible, allowing it to move with the natural movement of the ground. This prevents the sealant from cracking, and stops future cracking.

Donald begun to notice cracking on his basement walls and grew much concern. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his situation investigated. Once Mike arrived to inspect his home, it was made note that the walls had begun to bow inward. Mike offered the permanent solution to stabilize the walls with CarbonArmor. CarbonArmor is a uniquely flexible carbon fiber strip that adheres to the wall. When installed with the ArmorLock system, the wall become permanently stable, stopping the wall from worsening, and preventing the rest of the from tipping and shifting. Donald no longer has to worry of an unstable foundation.

Jim was concerned about his children playing by the pool because of multiple tripping hazards that have formed around the deck. He didn’t know how to fix or even were to begin to fix the broken concrete. He spoke with Cole from MidAmerica Basement Systems and was offered the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that will not add pressure to the pool, making it safe solution. PolyLevel accurately lifts and levels sunken concrete, while providing a stable solution to prevent future sinking. Jim’s children no longer have to worry about tripping hazards around the pool.

Patricia was concerned about her bowing walls. Over the years they have worsened, and some areas had even begun to seep water. She reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her home looked at. Mac suggested a CarbonArmor system to permanently stabilize her foundation walls, and offered her a WaterGuard and TripleSafe waterproofing system. Due to all the mold and water damage to the walls, it was suggested that she have BrightWall installed. BrightWall is a rigid plastic sheeting that helps reduce moisture issues, while redirecting any seeping water to the WaterGuard. BrightWall also gives a bright, clean finish to Patricia’s basement to hide all the mold and water damage.
